I installed my Home Revit Architecture the lazy way by just accepting the default settings. It installed & ran without a hitch but I found some content missing. A bit of web searching revealed I wasn’t alone and others had already found a fix. No Conceptual Mass Template Clicking
KarelCAD are running their Civil 3D University event next month in Auckland. Like AU it has a mixture of sessions run by technical, industry and customer experts but focused on Civil 3D & Australasian projects & standards. Details & registration at www.karelcad.co.nz
TweetDeck is my favourite Twitter client on the desktop (below right) and its ability to sync settings with a mobile application is a major reason why. In fact I think Twitter's usefulness is dependent on TweetDeck columns displaying Twitter Lists, searches and tags. Add to that support for
It’s more than a rumour that Autodesk Evangelist Lynn Allen is heading back down under for the Auckland AEC Systems Technology Solutions Day next month. She was recently in Australia so must just love those long haul flights in Seat 16C. More detail & registration for the event available

A tweet from @noozeeland today inspired this post. He shared a phrase which commanded only one response. I know the lyrics to Comfortably Numb quite well as I love the song itself, but also for another rather odd reason. When I’m cycling and feeling really tired it’s one
Back in 2006 I took a photo of this rather unique road sign on the South Island’s West Coast. This year (in somewhat better weather) I couldn’t resist taking the same photo again. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed “next 10km” of penguin in
