Question for RoFun: Do you think you'll live in America for the rest of your life? You know, real life American kids, big fucking house that cost sod all outside the city or by a coast, an affected tone in your accent and very occasional visits to the UK in your 60s to bore the Grandkids with sights of the Midlands in the rain? There's something fascinating to me about you sitting there in an office doing puzzles and looking out your apartment window to a street that I picture looks like the streets on How I Met Your Mother. I'm obviously mega jealous, but I'm sure the novelty wears off. However, does it wear off enough to make you want to come back to this shithole? Do you miss family? Where do you see you and your American life for the long haul?Re-reading that, it occurs to me I'm asking you enormous personal life plan questions. Don't feel obliged to answer those. At the start of the post I more just meant longer term do you imagine being an American 4 life now?

Yeah, right. What's the grift, brutha? Nigerian scam? Pigeon Drop? Cousin Junior's Old Timey Do-Si-Do?

Haha, nah, quite the opposite. Too clueless and paranoid to safely DL everything I want through pirated means with cracks/keygens etc, and have

I've just got a new Kindle, and have realised that PDF e-books are a bit of a pain in the arse. I've found a way of converting them to Amazon's native format, whereby you send an email to Amazon with 'convert' in the subject line and the file as an attachment. Being the shifty geezer I am, I've 'rented' these books. Will Amazon know I've 'rented' these books if I send the file as an attachment, and will they come down like a brick shithouse on me for it if so?

I thought I knew who Vampira was until I googled her. What's the name of that vampire women who has massive fake tits?

Elvira maybe?Vampira tried to sue her for gimmick infringement at one time.
Ahh, that's her. She has lovely breasts. You should draw her.

Aye, the 30 day trial could help a bit, at least in terms of brushing up on the stuff i've already got some experience of. Cheers. The watermark's not a problem, it's just for training.The main one I want is just plain old AutoCAD, and some of the add-ons like Civils3D, but in the longer term I'd really like to teach myself the basics of Revit, Inventor, and 3ds designI'm kinda swithering on maybe just trying to find a download of basic AutoCAD now, an old obsolete version like 2006 would do me fine. Besides, fuck them for making it so diffficult to get if you're not a student. What's the difference for them anyway, the more people who can use their software, the better for them.

There is a huge shift in the industry over here towards BIM so I'd imagine Revit would be much more useful in future than Autocad. We're now using revit (all 3 flavours) ahead of Autocad on most new projects, there's still little pockets of Autocad use but I can see that reducing dramatically by 2016 when all government projects need to use BIM tools and methods.

Cheers, i'll take that onboard. Revit would have been my next priority after I refamiliarised myself with AutoCAD anyway, as those are the two i'm interested in for the purposes of earning money. I'm only really interested in Inventor and 3ds out of curiosity, so they can take a back seat.Do you use Revit yourself Si, or work closely with folk who do?

I don't use it directly, I work on the IT side for a consultancy who use it pretty heavily so I am responsible for deploying the software, managing the network licenses, charging back to the business on usage. I do work quite closely with Architects and Structure guys to fine tune the software for their usage and they tell me what's happening within the industry re: software.

Ah right. Lucky escape for you - i'd no doubt have nipped your head with hundreds of questions if you did ;)
