Bring your own computer to work? Would you?
One of the most memorable aspects of my first day at TWL was finding the CAD computer wasn’t ready, going home and bringing my in own. It was only for a day or two and, coming from life as a contractor, supplying a computer wasn’t a big deal.
Snagit 10, All-in-One capture in a click
Snagit 10 was released this week with a bunch of new functionality that I’ll look at over a series of posts. The first alone justifies upgrading and you’ll use it for every snag. A new “All-in-One” capture profile merges screen, window, object, scroll and marquee select

The AutoCAD Architecture sections has all the usual suspects along with a few names were new to me: Factory and Building Design Suite? Autodesk - AutoCAD Services & Support

Fiat return to Rally New Zealand – Abarth Grande Punto S-WRC
Although his run ended with retirement (engine damage) it was great to see Albert Llovera in the Fiat Abarth Grande Punto this weekend. Last time I remember seeing a Fiat competing was back the late 1970s (Fulvio Baxxhelli & Francesco Rossetti won Rally NZ in a Fiat Abarth 131 in
How much for an 8KB file?
Our Retail Design application subscriptions are actually funded from an IT budget. Its owner just happened to be near my desk as I was dealing with the 2011 license file today. It’s amazing that writing quite a large cheque results in the delivery in a few lines of text
Driver, not incorporated, and lousy treatment from Tangible Media
Recently the April issue of Autocar (NZ) appeared in my mailbox. I was initially perplexed as I don’t subscribe to it but then noticed a (printed) sticker with the words “incorporating Driver”. I have subscribed to Driver since issue one so that was the connection. A few weeks earlier
