Chemical Engineering

Che.com, online source for chemical engineers

Since 1999 I’ve use che.com as source for monitoring about new technology in chemical engineering field and mainly for price index icon smile Che.com, online source for chemical engineers

At that time che.com offer free magazine for 12 month subscription  and they real. Since I live in Indonesia I think this magazine won’t send their magazine to me. I’m wrong, I got 9 magazine that make me like important person in campus since latest price index included in the magazine is key component for my senior paper.

Today, I visit che.com again, so many new progress in the site, specially their blog is the important thing for me . Keep my eye on engineering field make me feel good. Welding, quenching, piping stuff, hysys, matlab, plant integration, dynamic simulation and environment issue.

My Favourite resource list in random order :

  • Nist.gov, for properties and patents
  • Mathworks.com, for matlab product
  • Lingo.com, for optimization stuff
  • Aspentech.com, for modelling

just learn on demand, find interesting stuff, doing, have fun icon smile Che.com, online source for chemical engineers

ZFS and FreeBSD current

Very interesting to see progress of ZFS in FreeBSD, comitted in FreeBSD 7 ( will release in 2007). This excellent job done by Pawel Jakub Dawidek with collaboration with opensolaris  for suitable patch .

Many feature that ZFS offer that make me hard to blink till see last pages of presentation

Pawel also give quick guide to implement ZFS at FreeBSD

How about jails?  Just check this blog for more ilustrative example

For me ZFS will be alternative for storage pools beside gvinum, gconcat or gstripe  with self healing capabilities.

Soon … coming soon I’ll try ZFS, started from updating SRC icon smile ZFS and FreeBSD current

Knowing your host setup

Maintain large customer need special trick, specially with “security in mind”

Many free host ( support php and mysql ) set restriction policy for security reason. Then phpinfo() is your friend to find out setting in server host.

Just make simple file in browser :

save it as info.php

phpinfo();

?>

see it from browser

for example : click here

11 Knowing your host setup

Pay attention to those directive :

register_globals = Off

Safe mode = On

In many hosting place (paid hosting) the values are :

register_globals = On

Safe mode = Off

register_globals effect :

Need for coding using super globals
$name=$_POST['var_name'];

$session_data=$_SESSION['session variable'];

Each source need to identified it’s source.

GET, POST, SESSION, SERVER need to handle in that way.

it’s good for security.

How about “safe mode” ?

Blogging 101, part I : How to start

In my latest post about blog phenomena I have mentioned about “old grandmother or old grandmother” who like to keep in work mode. They full with experience and very wise, maybe an old post office staff want to share about his life. How he build his career in the office, challenge in work, happy or sad moment etc.

A mother who get bored spend all the time of her life in front of TV show, an actress who want to share her famous secret story or a young scientist who want to track his daily activities before get famous icon smile Blogging 101, part I : How to start .

All of them can share their expression in blog world but many of them don’t know how to start.

Some Common question :

“How to start?”

“What should I do?”

“Is it difficult?”

Don’t worry, starting from little thing and act now!

Blogging Phenomena

I’m doing blogging since 2005, using serendipity then realize it’s not easy to migrate my old post to other blog platform …sigh.

First time blog only took 2 word ” hello world”

My posting language still mixing from Indonesia and English, also doing blog for “famous” till I found some serious blog. They make reference to wikipedia, valid link and focus to spesific field. It’s realy interesting to learn someone thought, see some fact, rumor even the worst bad propaganda.

Google ads, chitika and other ads get the moment in blog era too. Mother who live in front of the house and watching daily soup opera get chance to express their feeling, sharing recipe, old productive grandfather can spend many time of their live by writing, a feel of being productive is sensitive context for them.

I myself use this blog to sharpen my mind, try to practise my english, bad or worse it’s fine, I’m sure I’ll reach a comprehensive level.

Try learn and study while living in harmony icon smile Blogging Phenomena
