Back in May I happened to mention Mindjet’s MindManager product in a post titled Some Nifty Tools. Back then I was relatively new to the product, but it has quickly become an indispensible part of my daily workflow. These days…
Among the comments recently left on The CAD Geek was one asking if I could help them out with a script to sequentially number text. The solution is perhaps easier than one may think. In fact, chances are, you already…

First let me start by offering my congratulatory birthday wishes to the “Between The Lines” blog by Shaan Hurley. Seeing that most blogs die within a matter of months, reaching the 5-year mark is a monumental achievement. Now back to…
I just got word on Friday that General Registration for Autodesk University 2008 is now open! From the sounds of things pre-registration was incredibly successful. Already more than 3,700 people have registered for AU 2008. I know it’s the same…
