As we continue clearing out cupboards and desks in the Neuchatel office, another potential treasure was uncovered by Francesco Tonioni. It seemed like a very interesting – and probably very useful – tool. We weren't at all sure what it was until Hashim Mundol recognised it from a previous life. He identified it correctly as […]

Tickets are now on sale for this year's AU London. Until April 30th you can get the earlybird discount of £160 on the regular price: for the next several weeks the price is £540 + VAT instead of £700 + VAT. I'll be attending – and speaking at – this year's AU London. I'll be […]

Many thanks to all of you who responded to the last "one man's trash" post offering a signed copy of The Autodesk File for one of the people answering John's question correctly: What was the first Autodesk product which, after having been sold, was subsequently discontinued? The answer is, of course, AutoScreen. Of the 15 […]

When I first visited Neuchatel I instantly fell in love with the city. This was back in the summer of 1995, during my second round job interview for Autodesk. From that moment I knew I wanted to live here, but it was only in early 1998 that I had the chance to do so: a […]

I know this one is going to be extremely popular with the readers of this blog. While starting the clear-out of her bookshelf, a colleague in the Neuchatel office, Maria Elena Santoyo Torres, found a copy of The Autodesk File in book form. I hadn't realised it had been bound into a book, so this […]

In response to the last "one man's trash" post I actually received two emails: the first from Kean Maizels, who ended up receiving the box, and the second from an old friend and former colleague from the UK, Phil Gill, who just missed out. Luckily the Neuchatel office's "recycler in chief", Francesco Tonioni, managed to […]

I didn't think, on Monday, that I'd be visiting the UK this week. So it came as a surprise that on Tuesday I ended up buying a flight to head across to Birmingham on Wednesday, coming back Friday. You're probably thinking, "ouch, that must have been expensive!" – which was exactly my expectation, looking into […]

I was really excited to hear, over the weekend, that our friends at Hackrod have launched a successful crowd-funding campaign and that there's still time to participate. The campaign is being hosted on MicroVentures, which means investors should receive interest on their investment as well as equity in the project, assuming things work out. This […]

Last week I received an important letter through the post. It was final confirmation from the Swiss Confederation that I'm being granted Swiss nationality. This is something I could have requested some time ago – due to the years I've been married to a Swiss person (something I lovingly refer to as "time served" 😉 […]

As Autodesk Neuchatel lurches steadily towards its closure, later in the year, people have started emptying desks and throwing out bits and pieces that have accumulated over the years. I don't like to see usable things get thrown away and so have decided to do a regular series of posts to find new homes for […]
