My 100 blog on SCN
I wrote my first blog on SAP Community Network at February 17, 2006. So it have been more than 3 years since I wrote Tasting the mix of PHP and SAP.
A lot of things had happened after that…I became a Moderator, SAP Mentor, attended SAP TechEd 08 Las Vegas and SAP TechEd Las Vegas 09, meet a lot of great people, wrote a lot of books about programming in both Spanish and English (Including R/3 and NetWeaver of course), run Community Day Lima 08, get married and became the father of a beatiful daughter.
Why I’m telling you this? Because along the way, my SCN friends were always by my side…even when the distance split us in different directions, we’re always together. We’re like the biggest family ever.
I’m happy because this very blog I’m writing is my 100 blog here on SAP Community Network. I have wrote about PHP, Ruby, Flex, HR and Community related stuff. Always looking to share my knowledge and give the Community back what they give me…the opportunity to be myself.
Some people say that I’m both a blogging machine and a book writing machine…but the fact is that without SCN, this wouldn’t be possible. My ability to blog or write books is only compared to the ability of this Community to welcome new folks with open arms. Such inspiration motivates me to keep going forward.
While it’s a hard job, I think that blogging is one of the coolest platforms ever invented. I love to be a blogger and I love to be a proud member of this Community.
Ok…I know…I love SAP and SCN too much…but I don’t see it as a bad thing, au contraire I thinks it’s great that I spend so much of time here (Of course…only when I’m not in company of my wife and daughter). What makes up a Community like this, is the passion demostrated by it’s members. I meet several people engaged like me…and of course others who are even more engaged, regardless the fact that they actually work for SAP or not.
So, I want to share my hapiness with you, because this was one of my main goals and also wanted to invite you to start of keep blogging, contribute on the Wiki, answer the questions on the forums and help us to keep growing and growing.
Well, I think it’s enough for today. See you in my next blog.
Congrates for 100th blog and all achievements in last 3 years 🙂
Hope to see more, may be next 100 in a year ...!!

Congrats from Germany, across half the world :), on your 100th SCN blog. I'm very far away from this degree of productivity. Frankly, I have not the slightest clue how you do it, but you do it well because I always enjoy reading your stuff. 🙂 Keep up the good work: Your enthuisasm and openness are always a great inspiration and I hope to read much, much more from you in the future!
Cheers,

Germany? That really far away for me -:) And thanks...makes me really happy to know that you read and enjoy my blogs -:) And while you may be far away from my degree of productivity, I had noticed that you started to blog a lot these days...all great blogs, so just keep it like that and the least thought day, you will be writing your 100 blog too -;)

As you are so productive in the blogosphere - do you think you could post a few using my name so I look more active too? 🙂

It depends on how much money you're willing to spend LOL And remember...it's not about the quantity of blogs, but about the quality. You have a few blog posts, but they're all all high quality and always enjoyable to read -;)

You sometimes do off the wall stuff but hey that's you and you bring a lot to this community.
There is probably a cricket analogy here but because you are not into cricket I will move right along. Take off your helmet and raise your bat to the dressing room!
Well done and here a glass of Moet to your next hundred.
