I'm back online after a thoroughly needed (and fully appreciated) 2-week break. It was great to relax and hang out with my immediate family: we spent most of the fortnight up in the mountains, and managed to snowboard for 11 of the days. There was pretty decent snow – not loads and loads, but then […]

After getting back to Bangalore from Pune, I did end up having to spend the best part of Wednesday morning dealing with more Indian bureaucracy. The bank I was in was going through its annual archival process, which meant the floor soon filled with papers… … and then boxes containing them. This brought back memories, […]

On Wednesday morning I headed off at the crack of dawn to Geneva to fly back out to India. The sun was coming up across the lake – and the Alps behind it – as the train flew towards the airport. I changed flights in Heathrow, heading onwards to Bangalore. For once I had a […]

This post continues the story of our trip to Scotland. As the last week was purely vacation, feel free to skip this post if you're only interested in my work-related content. (And if you like the travelog stuff, feel free to check out these posts from our big trip of a couple of years ago.) […]

After the pre-BILT Hackathon on Wednesday, there were still three full days of the main conference to be experienced in the beautiful city of Edinburgh.

Some weeks ago an old friend of mine, Karim Homayoun, let me know of an event being held at swisstopo – the Swiss Federal Office of Topography in Bern – that was being organised as part of the European Heritage Days. While Switzerland isn't formally part of the EU, it is part of the Council […]

Yesterday I hopped on the TGV Lyria in Bern to head across to Paris for a meeting with a large customer who was interested in learning more about generative design. It was nice to be heading back across to Paris – especially just before the summer break – as I have very fond memories of […]

It's been a relatively busy week, and yet very much "the calm before the storm" of AU London. I've been receiving lots of meeting requests over the last few days, filling up my AU London schedule nicely, as well as a request to be part of a "technology trends" panel session on the second day, […]

Today was a fantastic day. Members of the BIM 360 engineering team based in Gumligen went on their annual ski day and kindly invited me along. We'd originally planned to go on February 1st, but the weather was very poor and so the plan was cancelled. It was rescheduled for today, but only earlier this […]
