Are Beta Testers Superheroes?

Apparently so…

OK, so not really a Superhero per se, but humor me, it’s Friday.

I got to meet a lot of visitors to this site last month in Las Vegas, and hope to meet even more in the coming year.

I’ll be looking for Nick as he wanders around with that “first day” blank stare on his face.

OK, this is not in any way Civil 3D related, not Autodesk related, not even CAD related. Since I know a LOT of our readers are true geeks at heart, I’m begging for help here.

Those of you who know me know that I live in the middle of nowhere. It’s nice to sit on 100 acres of pristine forest land and have a house that’s paid for, but living in the country has it’s downfalls. One of those things is the fact that I cannot get traditional broadband internet resources here. Cable internet comes within 1.5 miles of me on both sides, and DSL is out of the question. Heck, they don’t even have ISDN available. Read more

Areas of Contours for Stormwater Calculations (for now)

I am working out the kinks in my stage storage table (to be unveiled at AU this year during my SWM class), so for now here is a quick-n-simple way to get your contour areas out of your ponds. Read more
