Processes

I chose the title of this blog to be deliberately vague, as there are a number of ways that the "Process" word applies to my life.

Firstly, my qualification is in Chemical and Process Engineering.  In the oil industry, we tend to refer only to the process part of this title, and all chemical engineers are called "Process Engineers" (when they're acting as chemical engineers that is.  One of the joys of the Chemical Engineering degree is that a fair number of us end up with lots of other job titles.)

Secondly, a lot of what I do is more related to how things get done, as workflows, rather than simply joining unit operations together to make a process.

Thirdly, we tend to take information from a lot of sources, process it, and come up with conclusions and recommendations.  Not to mention how hard it can be sometimes to see how what makes sense to us adults is processed and fed back in a slightly different form by our children.

And finally, I'm getting quite interested in photography, and while we no longer send photos off to the lab to get processed, a lot of the art of good photography now is how you take the raw pictures and using Photoshop or whatever, process these into good photographs.

So that's kind of where I'm coming from.  What's your part?
