It is Soylent Green +, it is made from people and the other good organic things. Frogs, birds, mice, etc.

Ok, looked the archive page. Looks nicely laid out with no problems except for one that I see. When on the archive page, your link bar on the very top is jumped to the left side of the page and does not match its location on the home page which is on the right side.

The only thing I would suggest changing at this time would be to possibly move the Connect Via Google at the bottom to the sidebar above or below the FriendFeed. Just seems that they are similar and should be grouped

Checked your about page and the link bar does the same thing at the top as the Archives page.

The lack of rabies for the robots gives them a +5 for more use than the bats. Bats are okay until the rabies show up.

Re: Twitter Finally Monetizes

After pondering the pricing for a while, I believe Twitter should go a route similar to Fark.com. Fark only charges $5 a month while offering the minimal upfront "teaser". Fark still makes a good amount of money using this business model, perhaps Twitter could come up with something like 5 free tweets a day and a pay per tweet after that if you did not want to do the $X per month. Whatever Twitter does to get money, it should be a very basic
cost structure.

This would be nice to have once I get a desktop system. Right now I only have a laptop and need to get a small USB external drive for backups soon.

Re: Easy to Track Solidworks files with Mastercam

It may have possibilities if you do not have any kind of PDM system in place such as my company. My current issue is how stuff is getting scattered everywhere on our shared network drive. One user only works locally and exports to the network drive due to the large file sizes. The problem with that is when I add references or define a new mate reference on a standard part, that user does not get an updated copy from the network. So when that user dumps a pack and go, and I add that assembly to mine then the next time I open my assembly I get bad mates because the other model has out of date references :(.

Re: Ask the Reader: eDrawings App for iPhone. Would You Use It?

Rod_Uding — Thu, 14 May 2009 07:03:21 -0000

Your thinking the same way as me on this one. I could see something like one of smaller Wacom tablets being better for this. However, I realize that in some situations having this application on the iPhone would be better than nothing at all.

Everyone needs to remember that the iPhone is a just a tool that each individual uses differently based upon their needs and desires to get the information they require for different situations.

Bruce, since you brought up the Annotation Views in your comment I have to ask you, have you found decent documentation or tutorial explaining it. It is one tool I would like to use except I really am having a difficult time getting a grasp on it. It just does not seem to work they way I think it should.

Yeah, I win! Anyhow, graphical buttons would be great also! Maybe a graphic "Thumb Up" and "Thumb Down". BTW, does the "Report" button generate a report I can turn in on the comment or does it snitch on the person making the comment?

Did you need the bumpage for simply presentation needs or to create a dimpled surface? It seems to me that the freeform tool is more for commercial design than industrial/manufacturing.

At least the robot is a nice friendly green color. I like green alot,
probably another reason a lot of my SW parts and assemblies get that color
on them :)

Re: SolidWorks Help Files

Rod_Uding — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:05:54 -0000

Here are my points on the Wiki:

1: Verified admins, start with the SW help writers.
2: Verified contributors. Start with the SW bloggers such as yourself who care about this.
3: Recommended contributors. Persons suggested by the admins and contributors
4: General users. Can look, but not touch.
5: Posting area that questions are posted and reviewed by groups of admins and contributors. This will develop the help wiki as questions are posted.

This is a starting idea. I would also refer to Ben Eadie's Solidmentor wiki as a reference for building a help wiki.

Twitter Marc Nelson and see if he can hit up someone at the college he is at today. Maybe someone there would be interested or could point you towards an educator group or website.

It's always neat to see behind the scenes of anything, a show, a

Made".
