This post is to belatedly congratulate Jim Quanci (Director of the Autodesk Developer Network, blogger over at Dances with Elephants and my former manager) for his recent win of the Singlehanded TransPac race from California to Hawaii. Jim sailed his 40ft boat, the Green Buffalo, singlehandedly from San Francisco on June 30th, 2012, arriving in […]

As I ended up not being able to post during the last week or so, I've switched to the past tense now that I'm back in Switzerland. I'll start back on more technical topics in the coming days, but as I'm still re-adjusting I may as well wrap up my holiday's travelog, first. 🙂 After […]

Today's post was going to be "Enjoying England" – just to complete the series on our European tour – but that's now going to have to wait. We are indeed enjoying England, but yesterday had a pretty unique and amazing opportunity that deserves a post of its own. Before yesterday, I admittedly didn't know very […]

After a great week in Brittany, we took an overnight, cross-channel ferry from Roscoff to Plymouth to begin our fortnight in the UK. The ferry was a pleasant surprise – far removed from the Dover to Calais "booze cruises" I remember from my student days. We had a cabin with a window and breakfast delivered […]

This year's Autodesk football tournament was excellent – congratulations to the IPG 1 team, this year's well-deserving winners! (I've included a picture from their 2-1 quarter-final victory over us, below.) Towards the end of our last game of the day (thankfully) I managed to sustain a thigh injury after a collision with Fenton (he was […]

Adam Nagy has put together a fantastic series of posts on the AEC DevBlog that I think will be of general interest: Revit model viewer for iOS – part 1 Revit […]

Last week, I received confirmation that I'll be presenting a few different classes at AU 2012, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas from November 27-28. My main sessions, this year, are in some way focused on cloud & mobile technologies. The subject matter of the first lecture is the […]

I've spent the best part of the last two weeks in the Bay Area, which has been fantastic. It was great to attend Autodesk's annual, internal Tech Summit, both to network with colleagues and to find out about some of the really interesting projects being worked on within the company. It was also really good […]

It's a beautiful Whit Monday, here in Switzerland – and will probably be a beautiful Memorial Day, when I arrive in San Francisco, this afternoon. I'm heading across the pond to attend an internal technical conference and spend time with other members of my team over the coming fortnight. I have a couple of posts […]

photo credit: rednivaram via photopin cc Most readers of this blog won't have realised (mainly because I queued up last week's blog posts in advance of my trip) that I was in India for the whole of last week. Not that I'm under any illusions that there are people out there wondering where I am, […]
