Oracle BI By Bakboord – 2012 in review

I wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2013.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 85,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

As far as I see there will be enough to talk an blog about the coming year. I hope I will find the time and place to do so.

OBIBB – Season’s Greetings

Although a few of us (like me) have to go for another week, 2011 is almost over. It has been an exciting year, again. I have made switch from Scamander to Ebicus and Oracle had a few things to announce regarding the Oracle BI Foundation.

Hopefully next year will be a thrilling year for me and you again. Just like last year;  I wish you, your family and your friends all the best. I hope you will have some pleasant days, with nice food & drinks.

Thanks for dropping by!!
