We arrived in Wellington on Friday just in time for lunch. We parked – based on the recommendations on CamperMate, as ever – at the Barnett Street car park. Parking a motorhome for 24 hours down by the wharf in Wellington costs just $30 NZD. I left my family for an hour to meet up […]

It's been really great to be back in the Bay Area. My wife and I lived here from 2000 to 2003 – back when (in retrospect, although it didn't seem so at the time) it was affordable to do so – and being back here is in many ways like coming home. Old friends have […]

I have to admit it's a little bittersweet to be talking about this year's Forge DevCon: I've been involved in helping schedule some great classes for the AR/VR track, but I won't be presenting myself – or even present at the event, at all – this year. But it's all in a good cause: our […]

As John Walker once said, many years ago, Autodesk does not change CEO very often: during the first decade of the company's history, only two people had the role. Like a lot of things John said back then, it turned out to be impressively predictive of the future: during the following 25 years we had […]

For most of the week – while at the Forge Accelerator in Barcelona – I sat next to an acquaintance (I'm happy to now call a friend) from Amazon Web Services: Tom "Elvis" Jones. Tom is a solution architect at AWS and has been to a number of Forge-related events over the last year or […]

As always, the annual football tournament – this time in Barcelona – was a complete blast. The Neuchatel team was as strong as it's ever been, in my opinion, and played really well. We were in a tough group (yes, the proverbial "group of death"), but managed to qualify for the knock-out stage with 3 […]

Autodesk has maintained a health dashboard for its cloud products for quite some time. The good news for Forge developers is that – just in time for next week's Accelerator in Barcelona – Forge has been added as a line item: Given the internal response to the technical issues we experienced during the last Accelerator […]
