Congratulations to Richard Saunders & co on achieving the two hundredth episode. The Skeptic Zone Podcast - The Podcast from Australia for Science and Reason. The Skeptic Zone #200 - 18.August.2012 I have enjoyed listening, mostly while walking the dog, since I discovered it back in 2010. My most memorable
Back in 2006 I blogged about a collection of articles by one of my favourite writers: Phil Llewellin on "The Road to Muckle Flugga"? - RobiNZ Personal Blog I referred to an article I still have: I think the finest piece is, the appropriately named, “Their Finest Hour”. I

The Effective Prototyping, Interoperability & Communication Group kicked off earlier this year in Auckland, New Zealand. Unlike many software related user groups it does not focus on a platform, profession or, even, industry. If you create, manage or consume 3D design data it is aimed at you. The impetus for
I encountered this error today when I attempted to add the recent Revit Update Release 1 to an existing Building Design Suite deployment using the modify admin tools. I got through the wizard OK, adding the service pack, and the image update proceeded normally until failing with this error: After
