At home with Gaahl.

I have done ten of these, and I like this one the best.

Over the next few days I intend updating the WordPress software that is used to run this site. You may see some things such as polls come and go during that process, and maybe a few minutes downtime here and there, but hopefully there should not be too much disruption.

Some people have now received AutoCAD 2009, or at least downloaded it, which you can do (legally!) here, as long as you’re in the United States or Canada.
I’m closing the AutoCAD 2009 speculation poll. Other than a small blip on “Very bad”, the poll follows a typical bell curve nicely, with the peak very clearly [...]

It would appear that AutoCAD 2009 is now shipping. I intend to hold off on any further comments until I get my hands on the shipping product, which I expect to be fairly soon. In the meantime, maybe have a look over the 24 AutoCAD 2009 Prequel posts and see if there’s anything you missed.
If [...]

I’m gradually getting the hang of this blog maintenance business. The Polls Archive page, which was broken with a 404 error, is now fixed. If you run across any other problems on this site, please let me know.
I’ve added a new poll: have fun!

As my forced change to a different blog theme (thanks IE7) has meant the demise of my random AutoCAD tip feature, you may as well have the tips in a blog post instead. Here are the first five. These are fairly simple tips that apply to all recent releases. You probably know most of them, [...]

…if you’re using Internet Explorer 7. Thanks to Rick for pointing this out. It looks fine in other browsers, including IE6 and my own preferred browser, Firefox 2. Now I have to try to work around the IE7 bugs (which include splitting and misplacing images) to get the blog looking reasonable for everybody. Sigh. Thanks, Microsoft.
Anyway, [...]

I’m new at this blog stuff, and I got something wrong in the settings. This meant you were allowed to comment as long as you were a registered user, but as I was the only registered user and there was no way of making yourself into a registered user, commenting was effectively impossible.
This is now [...]

I have registered the domain name blognauseam.com because:
a) it will stop anybody else grabbing it; and
b) it will make it easier for people to remember the URL if they don’t have me bookmarked.
No changes are required to your bookmarks or links, I just redirected blognauseam.com to blog.cadnauseam.com and will continue to use blog.cadnauseam.com.
That leads me [...]

The top of the blog nauseam page now features a randomly selected AutoCAD tip. There are only a few at the moment, but I will be adding many more as time goes on.

…when this blog layout is wasting so much more of it? OK, I haven’t complained about AutoCAD doing that (not here, anyway). Yet. But I will.
First, I need to get my own house in order. So, expect to see this blog change its layout a few times over the next few days as I try [...]

This is the blog of cad nauseam owner Steve Johnson. Expect to find a somewhat strange selection of stuff about AutoCAD, music, image manipulation and video.
