Hi Thomas,
How did you eat your lunch and check your eye-lids for light leaks at the same time?  Must be a true multi-tasker!
LOL!
 
Happy Holidays!

Unfortunately the answer to your question is it depends.  Overall workflow is always a consideration.  It does you no good if you have to jump through extra hoops to go from your concept, and construction drawings to your 3D perspective drawings and then start over in the rendering department.  Overall my workflow is BricsCAD (a AutoCad clone) an…[Read more]

Hi Guys!
 
I thought of you when I saw this today 🙂 !

I prefer John Smith of the Jamestown era… “if you don’t work you don’t eat”

Democratic Socalism… Now that is an oxymoron if ah ever heard one!  Ah think you need to take a few less drags of whatever you are smok’in Jon because it is effecting your better judgement.  Keep that up and the boys in white coats are gonna pay you a visit.

It sounds like we have more in common that we do differences Craig.

I would say that Mr. Madoff is reaping what he sowed right now don’t you think?  He is likely to die in prison that in my opinion is far worse that shooting him.  Losing ones freedom for the rest of your life is a pretty stiff penalty don’t you think?

I wonder if you have ever run a business Craig.  Any business owner will tell you that they have fought hard to get where they are.  There is a wealthy elite class and there are the wealthy on paper.  By the time you add up all the commitments and responsibilities shouldered by many business owners they are not making as much as you think.  Cap…[Read more]

Yes there is a group of Americans who are not just worried about the here and now.  This group of Americans not only look at the individual trees in the forrest but the WHOLE forrest.  We as Americans cannot continue to spend our way out of this national crisis that we are in.  At some point someone has to hold the line on the out of control sp…[Read more]

the evil environmentalist … tongue in cheek of course :-).  I certainly didn’t advocate no government.  Whine yes but there will always be whiners.  That is just a human nature trait.  There will always be politicans that don’t agree with the status quo.  That is the nature of politicians.  I don’t necessarily see that you need large gover…[Read more]

There is another way to regulate business Roland.  Make the penalties for damaging the environment, people, and other people’s property so severe that business can’t afford to cause harm.  However, government’s attempts to legislate common sense will just raise the cost of doing business for everyone and make American businesses less competitive i…[Read more]

Well said William!

I use Carlson Survey (which runs on top of Intellicad)
I also use LandFX (which runs on top of BricsCAD) and LandFX has a plug-in to Sketch-UP
 
Carlson is most useful for interacting with my Leica Robotic Total Station survey instrument
LandFX is most useful for my Construction drawings and deliverables.
SketchUP is most useful for Drawing in 3D…[Read more]

No,  I just shoot the robber!  Then I call the police.

Hee Hee! (it keeps the conversation lively though does it not?)  You heard about the feller that fought the pig in the mud haven’t you?  (After fiight’n with ’em a while the feller began to realize that the pig liiked it thar!)
 
S.

No the difference between you and me is that I get politicians attention at the ballot box.  While you try to get their attention through media stunts called protests.  Until you have a Million plus march on Washingtion you won’t even register as a blip on their radar screen.  Meanwhile I will be working at my job ( a 7 day a week job no le…[Read more]

I don’t know of anyone who has more influence in the down fall of our economy than Barney Frank!  And he is still in Washington making the same bad choices he has always made!
