Final post...

Well.. The final post.

This blog will not be deleted, but it will be silent here now. I had plenty of ideas left though. I never wrote on named-reactions, and never searched for the original papers.

There is a lot more nonsense to write about facial hair of dead chemists and I could look for chemist hair style changes.

August Wilhelm von Hoffman

I could be searching for old pictures and old patents to collect autographs.

Beistein, Erlenmeyer

And I could do a 'top 5 chemists in front of blackboard'.

Schiff, Burns Woodward, Pauling, Nernst

There are other things that will keep me busy right now. A few months from now I might do the 'once a month posting thing'. Maybe some time I will start Synthetic environment - the sequel (or think of a less dull blog title). I don't know yet. If so, you'll hear.

So, I cease posting, now. I will not leave you, and will still be reading all the nice blogs that are out here.

A peasant from a plague village once said: I'm not dead!.

Decision... I quit.

I started this blog 4 months ago and wrote 66 posts now. The amount of visitors has increased ever since. This blog reached the top 5 on chemical blogspace now, but I quit anyway. I do not have to write a thesis or lost my job, but I think I have done my trick. Sure, there are still a lot of 'top 5 lists' I can make up, and there is still a lot of science history to tell but that will be more of the same stuff....

Blogosphere is quite amazing. The moonshine post still attracts visitors, directed here by google and most blogs I read have this blog on their blogroll.

I really enjoyed writing all the nonsense like the Top 5 bearded chemists, LCMS analysis of coffee and Ageing and poses in chemistry. (My personel favourite is the article titles analysis-post.) I am fond of discovering the origins of the Vigreux collumn, the Rotavap and Markovnikov's rule, but when I have to think and do research for another post I think it is over.

So... this is the end... Well... the end for this blog, but not for blogosphere, one in ten thousand just started and you should go there. Carbon base curiosities will find new topics, I am sure. Chemical musings will post irony forever, a great blog as well! Jungfreudlich, very amusing and Kutti promised to write more in English, I am looking forward to it. Oh yeah, visit Homebrew and Chemistry, Chemgeek knows the meaning of life, beer is more important than chemistry.

Derek and Paul will be there forever, I think.

Visit the whole blogroll, kinasepro, tot. synth. etc. etc.

Ohhh shit, ψ*ψ, happy birthday!... a bit late... sorry.

I hope all you people enjoyed this blog.

The final post will be here within a week.

Cheers!
