      Gregg Carlson's Hulls application is definitely a good one. I've been using it for 5 or 6 years. I used it to design the cradle boat I built for my son. I think I've shown it elsewhere so I won't bore you all with it now.

I was just thinking about searching for this little trick the other day, I remembered reading it somewhere, but couldn't remember how to do it! Thanks! Your tutorials are always so clear and helpful..really nice work!

      I saw an article about the McLaren Technology Centre in an auto magazine. It seems that the building is both an architectural triumph and an expression of it's director's mental health. Here's a quote I found on-line from http://www.icon-magazine.co.uk/issues/november/mclaren.htm @unknownuser said: Indeed, the building has become something of a built expression of Ron Dennis himself. Many of the operative features of the building are a result of his personal ethic, such as his clean desk policy, a rule of no food or drink in desk areas, his hatred of blinds, pipes and cables ("How can a mind be right if under the desk is a chaos of wires?") and his no-touching plan for many office systems, such as the lavatories, in which the flush, soap dispenser, tap and dryer are all operated by sensor. Dennis wants to achieve a space that attracts and facilitates the best minds in the business through what boils down to social engineering. The problem is that the metaphor of the building as an extension of McLaren's F1 cars reduces the people inside it to cogs and valves For me, that changes the beautiful space into something a little sinister.

      over here in the Midwest of the USA there are no Spanish da-blumes or such buried, but there is treasure... I can't find a photo right now... but this guy over here, takes some lawn mower wheels, and some PVC and makes a large magnet, which he pulls with a small 3 wheeler... he pulls it around farm fields, and when it finds something large it clamps down on the ground. he's found multi million dollar meteors with it all over the Midwest...

      Alan, that's all because those topics have just recently been transferred from the old board. As was announced by Coen, we can only transfer the content and cannot transfer the date & time. Edson once proposed a solution to add a report to each topic about when it was originally posted (to avoid confusion) but then again, only mods can see the reports. Maybe we could put the date into the "edit line" (see the example right in this post)

      I like this one: WROOT (n.) A short little berk who thinks that by pulling on his pipe and gazing shrewdly at you he will give the impression that he is infinitely wise and 5 ft 11 in.
