Kevj, wouldn't mind digging a bit deeper into Autocad.
I learnt a fair bit in configuring and modifying Delcam software at my last place, was hoping to do the same at my new one but haven't yet had the opportunity to sit and tinker with it.
Any recommended reading you can point me towards? Lisp, Vb etc.

Most things, really. I'm one of those people that says, 'actually...' even when I'm drunk, as I can't stand hearing inaccuracies uttered by people.
But if I had to narrow it down, I would have to say medievalia, military aircraft from the beginning of WWII to the 1990s, and 1970s ice hockey.

@ Haze,
I was lucky enough to work with a guy who had years of experience programming. He was involved with a company who developed it do far that telesales operators entered a number of dimensional perameters and the code produced both full 3d drawings, a stock list and a cutting list for the workshop.
I can recommend various forums but most importantly a getting snippets of existing code and learn from it. I have yet to delve into vb (not had the need as I have moved on a bit) but apparently it is very usable.
Also, Google for diesel strings and diesel bible. Old school stuff but effective.Posted 7 months ago # -
Music.
This for me as well I guess. And I used to be really geeky with my guitars and effects/amps but recently I can't really be arsed, rather just play them. At the minute I'm more interested in recording and production, trying to get my music sounding as pro as I can with my limited gear.

Bikes, pocket knives and tunnels ( I was a mining engineer at some point)

Cheers Kevj,
I learnt little bits of vb from fishing around forums, but got about as far as I thought I could without some specific guidance and/or dedicating a lot more time to it.
That was for 3d modelling and machining, I'm now in 2d work which is far more repetitive and I know there has to be some way of making life a hell of a lot easier!
I'll sniff around for a decent lisp resource and check out the diesel stuff, ta

tunnels
Really? I have a fascination with tunnels, but (exceptionally geeky mode) don't have too many others to share my geekiness with.
