Chemical Engineering World 100 Readers
Tuesday, June 05, 2007
Earlier this year, I set a target to get 100 readers by the end of 2007 for Chemical Engineering World blog. Today, the feedburner chicklet in this blog shows 101 number of readers. I'm so pleased and delighted with the progress so far and thanks for the support from all of you. I managed to achieve the target six month ahead. Next month, this blog will celebrate its first anniversary and that is another achievement from my side. Time is running very fast that I did not realize it's almost one year since I started blogging about work - chemical engineering. I must admit I just discovered blogging last July and luckily I subscribed to a broadband that time. The next thing happened, this blog was created.....
Despite being pretty busy with my daily hectic job (especially the first week of every month...I have to do detailed production/utility report), I'm trying my best to share some pieces of my working and life experiences related to chemical engineering on a more consistent basis. This is a real challenge for me as time is usually not on my side. I hope I can work more efficiently and effectively, and at the same time allocate some quality time with my family, because being a balanced human being is part of my philosophy. I don't want my life to be concurred by my JOB, although I like and appreciate it. Hence, I just want to continue working and do the best for my employer. At the same time, I'll establish myself as a profound engineer and add up some essential skills while working here.
It's part of my target to educate and provide valuable information to others especially chemical engineering students and junior chemical/process engineers via this blog. I'm doing this simply because when I was a student, I never had a slight picture on how a chemical engineer works and what is the industry like. Now, as I'm a practicing engineer, I want the youngsters to know, to learn, to be exposed....
I thanked and welcome positive and negative comments from fellow readers all around the globe. I did received a lot of great feedbacks and encouragement. Thanks to you guys. It made me want to contribute (posting) even more. I also have some collaborations going on with few parties which I never expected to happen. I hope more collaborations can take place and produce more success.
Ooooh...about the photo, it's actually nothing really related to this blog niche. It's just "snake-like green pepper". The green (red) pepper is from Shanxi, China and it resemble a snake like creature. It does look like a chilly in a distorted pepper....that's what I can see. (p/s I hope I can be a chemical engineer growing some crops (such as chillies, tomatoes, cucumber, sugar cane, etc....later in future)).
