“Utilization of basic learn from surgery Softimage ICE”

I love automated Japanese-English translations. You couldn’t write it better yourself 😉

PS I’m on vacation, so please excuse this slightly off-topic posting. I was going to do something more technical today, but then there was that bottle of wine at lunch…

Now this is what I call a Sev1 issue.

Product Support (PS) Montreal got their iPad last week; every support team is getting one. For the moment we don’t really need it for anything. Sure, there are some consumer apps like Sketchbook Pro, but we (the Maya/Max/Soft team) don’t support those apps. Maybe there’ll eventually be some kind of mobile apps for M&E customers. So for now I loaded it up with some AD apps like 123 Sculpt, Tinkerbox, and SketchBook that we can play with.

We have had more than six million downloads of SketchBook mobile. We’ve had almost two million downloads of AutodCAD WS in a fraction of the time SketchBook has been available. Even things like TinkerBox…we’ve had over a million downloads of that. So I think when you look at the numbers they speak for themselves. It shows you just how popular and compelling those devices are.

Well, I’m back in the game after a relaxing week off. Biked, relaxed, hung out on the back porch with a cold beer …

Riding a bike in Montreal is a lot more fun than driving a car these days.

On vacation this week. Not going anywhere, just hanging out in Montreal.
I pre-scheduled my blog posts for the week, so as long as the weather is good I’ll try to stay away from the computer 😉

Some days it seems like every customer scene I open gives me this error:

My current kit includes a brand new set of HED Ardennes SL wheels.
The frame too is practically brand new…it was a warranty replacement late last summer.
I don’t think I could ever love any tech gadget more than my bike 😉
