Life in the fast lane…
January 29th, 2007
I have finally been spending some time on this site. I know I have been neglecting it for a while now, but not I am getting back into it. I think it might be a kind of therapy or something. Work has been crazy for the past few months and it will only get worse as we approach the release date for DriveWorks. (more on that another time).
This coming Sunday I am heading to New Orleans for SolidWorksWorld. My boss/cousin Rob and I are the only IT people from Cover-All going there, but there are another four people from engineering going too. The main reason Rob and I are going is to meet with the developers of DriveWorks and go over a few things with them. In addition, I am hoping to find a company that provides a solution for viewing SolidWorks assemblies on your average computer. We have been playing with a product called eDrawings but our models are so complex that the eDrawings take longer to generate than the models themselves and eDrawings brings even the fastest computers at Cover-All to a crawl.
The really exciting part of the trip for me, other than seeing the French Quarter and staying at the Hilton, is going to be the keynote speaker at the conference. This year it is going to be Steve Wozniak! I am so pumped to see him speak. Lindsay got me iWoz for Christmas and I read the thing in a flash. I really hope that he’ll be available so that I can get my book signed!
In other news, I finally got a photo gallery up and running on the site. I still have a lot of pictures to get posted – San Diego, Nova Scotia, Scotland, our wedding. Just a tonne oif pictures, plus the hundreds I’ll take in New Orleans. Time to hit the gym now. More later…
