Between the Lines

Fellow backpackers, photographers, and wind driven travelers, Africa?

      I am looking to mark off the last continent (ex. Antarctica) that I have not visited Africa and wanted to see if anyone is interested. I am looking at doing the off the beaten path travel as I usually do and that means getting local and seeing places most do not. I am looking into Eastern Africa such as Tanzania and Zanzibar, Kenya, or any places others may suggest perhaps Madagascar to see the unique wildlife like the Lemurs and Chameleons. I want to carry just a backpack with supplies for hiking, photography, and the bare essentials. This will not be an expensive trip as I plan on using my airline miles for flights, and staying at local spots which are around $20 a night and a few camp nights on trails. I would love to see some up close wildlife encounters, snakes <g>, ants, the savannah as well as forests and rural areas. I am looking at February, March or April as that would be just before the rainy season as I understand it. Also of interest is early March is the timing for the worlds greatest migration which is the migration of wildebeests across the Serengeti plains and some river crossings where crocodiles await to greet them with wide open jaws.

     I would also offer my technical skills in trade for places to stay and local assistance if anyone is local in Africa. I could train people on Autodesk products, engineering, and my humor of course. I would also be willing to work mapping by GPS or doing other things local for the experience and getting to know people and the region. It is always nice to do something good in places where you travel. I have been trying to find a Tanzania guide that would be willing to allow me to work helping them map with GPS, photograph, update or create website and document their safaris in return for just basic food and lodging. Any sponsors for a live blogs and geotagged photo gallery during the trip or want someone to field test equipment? I blogged from deep in the Brazilian Amazon with a HP TabletPC in a rugged case on a GSM modem a few years back.

   So, is anyone adventurous and dare to consider to join my African Safari? Could be the trip of a lifetime and fun as I tend to end up in strange places and meet all sorts of people as I do not like the typical tourism busses and drive by points of interest. I also have a knack for getting those odd travel stories that make you shake your head and laugh, but isn't that what it is about? Places and rural cultures and wilderness are changing or disappearing with every click of the clock, so see it while you can or live through people photographs and books.

I am also looking at a return to Brazil and Costa Rica this year.

Just email me or post a reply to this blog post if interested or have any tips on Africa travel and places.

Cheers and Happy Travels!

The Future of Photography is Video?

      I shoot photos on my Canon DSLR cameras in RAW format all the time as it allows me to later adjust exposure and many other settings of the photo unlike a JPEG. The RAW files are larger sized but contain much more data about what the cameras sensor captured hence the name RAW.

     

I have been thinking, if I can shoot RAW format photos and later adjust my photo shooting environment details why not the what the camera had in view similar to looking at a video segment from my high definition video camcorder and grabbing a still photo from the scene but with more detail.  After all video is a series of frames aka images. I have seen high speed HD video cameras like the ones used on the Discovery Channels Living Planet where some scenes where captured at 1000 frames per second in a 3 second loop to capture every single detail and water droplet during a shark attack and the data was relayed by wireless to a computer for processing. Now imagine when more technology is available and combines the best of video cameras and also DSLR along you to shoot a high speed 3 second shot that you can later select what area of a scene and details to export a photo from so you will be able to select that missed or unnoticed perfect frame shot and even enhance it like a RAW photo. I truly think at some point video and photo will be combined and photos will only be a export option of a still image from a captured video scene. Perhaps we will see a video version of RAW (vRAW) in the not too distant future as well. It is just a matter of technology and time as well as hardware iterations as I don't want a video camera hardware but a DSLR body to shoot high end video or photo stills or both in vRAW. Then we can get further down the road to 3D captured video environments or scenes where you can navigate within the image or video in the Z.

     OK back to processing many of my my high definition video tapes I have captured over the past year to see what I captured and then archiving them to hard drives. This time of year with a few days off is the only time I get to do much tinkering and video editing as well as reading uninterrupted by hundreds of emails a day.

Cheers,
Shaan

Nice WIRED Article on Jos Stam of the Autodesk Maya Team

The Software That Will Take Digital F/X to the Next Level of Awesome

By Michael Behar WIRED MAGAZINE: ISSUE 16.01

     If you are into computer generated graphics and effects like those in major motion pictures then this article about one of the special effects rocket scientists might interest you. Jos Stam has been working on Maya render modules like Nucleus. Jos explains he could do 7D instead of just 3D.

Counting Down to 2008

      I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays or looking forward to the new year. I have been working on cleaning my office and finding many adapters plugged in but not being used and sucking electricity like little vampires. This is the only time of year I can catch up on my reading, file organizing, and email. I am off of work until next Wednesday.

     Here in Salt Lake the snow has been piling up and I have a little over a foot of snow out my door and 6 feet in the mountains about 15 minutes away. On Christmas Eve I was in the Sugarhouse shopping district looking for a present at the last minute and ended up witnessing 2 teenagers running across a main street and into oncoming traffic. One of the kids ran into the path of an oncoming car and hit the driver side fender then over the hood shattering the windshield of the car and scaring the driver who could not see anything and had no time to react or avoid the teenager. I saw the boy flip in the air about 10 feet then land and by the time he landed I was stopped and running to help and dialing 911. Luckily the boy was not seriously injured but was bruised and cut up fairly badly. I had to fill out the police reports for witnessing the incident where the driver was not at fault. I have to say that the accident forms used by the Salt Lake County Sheriff was created by someone who could not speak English as the questions in English were almost laughable and had to be read multiple times to get what the question was asking, perhaps they got a cheap price on them. One note of interest is that even though this teenager when hit flipped 10 feet in the air doing a cartwheel and lost his shoes in the process, he never lost his grip on his beloved skateboard. I definitely had a talk with my kids about crossing at crosswalks and only when it is safe.

     Now as I turn on the TV news I see that Bhutto has been murdered in Pakistan, a tiger killed a person at the San Francisco Zoo, and more depressing news. I can only hope 2008 will be a better year for all.

The New Year cannot come soon enough for me.

Autodesk will be closed

Autodesk will be closed for the annual week of rest and the holidays from the 22nd of December until the 2nd of January. Contacting Autodesk employees during this time may be difficult as we spend time with our families and prepare for the new year.

     I sincerely appreciate everyone's feedback over the past years and look forward to an even better new year. Thank you for reading and replying to this blog as it has been a pleasure. I welcome any feedback or suggestions to improve or content ideas for the tens of thousands that read this blog daily. I have tried to keep the topics varied from Autodesk and AutoCAD to technology and photography as well to keep things fun and informative appealing to this wide and diverse audience.

     A blog is like a conversation and not really for press release type of text words and tone but a personal view and opinions. The personal expression and tone are what makes a blog really different from just a web page. If the tone or words don't sound like a someone really sitting down with you over a cup of coffee, then the personal feel is lost. If I get out of bounds or wander too much please let me know so I can adjust my course but know that with this blog you get the real me good bad or indifferent it is me along with my opinions, bias, my passion for design and Autodesk products as well as geek gadgets, and of coarse my warped sense of humor which sometimes does not translate into other languages too well.

I have some big and exciting plans for the new year 2008 and this blog.

Have a very happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and a safe and great New Years.

Sincerely,
Shaan Hurley

Well it is elves dancing and it has the faces of Lynn Allen, myself, and Heidi Hewett on them. Scott, as the old saying goes revenge is a dish best served cold. Bwahahahaha.

 

OK I did have a hard laugh over this. :-)

Autodesk Products Customer Error Reporting (CER) Now Does a Roundtrip!

Now when you crash an Autodesk product not only  is the important details are sent to Autodesk and later an email notification if you entered your email address when a fix is available, but now you can see/search immediately if there is a fix for this issue. Unlike many other software companies that simply rely on a default crash reporting mechanism that may just send out your feedback and the valuable details into a black hole or to Microsoft who cannot fix the problem and offers no help of any kind, Autodesk knows how important it is to correct any issues we can with our products. This is a very important project and resulting in more stable and higher performing Autodesk products which results in happier and more productive customers.

I have wrote many blog posts over the years on CER and CIP explaining the process and why you should participate as it helps you get resolutions to issues you have been encountering or with CIP your command usage of AutoCAD 2008 helps develop a greater understanding by Autodesk on how our products are used and how to improve.

• We Try Hard!

• Help Autodesk to Help You - March 2007

• AutoCAD - Customer Error Reporting (CER)

• Recent Customer Error Report "CER" Changes

• Your Customer Error Reports Are Very Important

• 85% Do Not Enter an Email in Their Error Reports

• Customer Error Reports - Please Send Them In

AutoCAD CER http://www.autodesk.com/cer

Autodesk Customer Involvement Program (CIP)

Now with AutoCAD 2008 Customer Involvement Program (CIP) a customer can elect to send anonymous usage data we will get even better. We hope that customers will enable anonymous CIP data reporting to help us understand how they are using our products so that we can make even more solid decisions based on that data.

Please make sure if you do happen to crash (we hope you don't) to be sure to send in the CER report each time it occurs so our teams can research the culprit. And no, there are no file names, bank accounts, DNA details, covert black helicopters circling when you send the data or people checking your serial numbers and knocking on your doors. In fact all the data is on your machine unencrypted before sending if you like to snoop and verify for yourselves.

Happy Holidays,
Shaan (suffering from a bad cold, and too much snow)

For those on the Windows Vista Bleeding Edge, Public Preview of Vista Service Pack 1

The Public Preview of the Release candidates for Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 is now publicly available.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RC Public Availability Program

 

 

Please note Autodesk is internally testing for compatibility with products at this time and no official support or result statements will be made until the upcoming service packs for Windows Vista are released in the final form.

Initial results from some using the Release Candidate say the performance is greatly improved and optimized CPU usage among other noted items. Pretty interesting deployment method using a script to edit the registry to flag your system on the next Windows Update to get the Windows Vista SP1 Release Candidate.

Shaan

Back in Utah

I have been from Brasil to New York to Utah this week ranging from 30C and sunny summer to -5C and over a foot of snow. Luckily my flight out of New York at JFK airport made it out just before the snow hit there and canceled many flights. I was supposed to be in Peru near the headwaters of the Amazon today but I had a sick relative that warranted my early return. It has been a crazy past 3+ weeks of travel, AU 2007, hiking, Brasil CAD Camp, work, and will take some time to recover.

I have began tracking my flights on a Garmin trex Venture HC GPS device. It is so cool to know when your plane at the given speed and heading should arrive at the destination. It also answers the age old questions of mine of what city is that down there below me or mountain or lake. With my GPS I know exactly where I am at and what city, lake or mountain that is. I can even import my tracks into Google Earth Pro on my laptop to monitor the trip or keep records of travels.

 

Cheers,
Shaan

i get it, it = email spam

Did you get it too?
I received an unsolicited sales advertisement for a service for a product I do not even use. I suspect they got my email from some CAD/Design related email database or harvested it from the web. It is unfortunate when some that have no relationship with me or not even known to me decide that some unsolicited email would tempt me to purchase their products when in reality it makes me alert to never look into their product or service. Spam is bad business, so is ads placed in RSS feeds, or blogs without a real purpose or person like the one that does nothing but schedule regular posts and a RSS of their Help manual content piece by piece bravo great idea <NOT>.

OK back to my regular work and waiting for my flight to New York tonight from Brasil, then Utah tomorrow.

Ciao,
Shaan

Shaan is Traveling Today and Tomorrow

I had to cut my trip in warm Brasil short due to a family member emergency so tonight I fly from São Paulo Brasil to New York City JFK airport where I have a nice and painfully long 7 hour layover before flying to Utah and getting back into the deep cold snow.

Ciao

Autodesk Products and Microsoft Windows Vista White Paper

Greetings from Brasil!
I was sent the following white paper dealing in-depth with Autodesk products and Microsoft Windows Vista support. It will soon be on the Autodesk website but I have provided a copy for you now.

"Introduction
With the introduction of Microsoft® Windows Vista, Autodesk® customers have another choice of operating systems. Whether a company opts to adopt Windows Vista, Windows® XP, or another supported operating system (OS), Autodesk applications deliver exceptional performance across the board.

To ensure the superlative performance of Autodesk applications on Microsoft operating systems, Autodesk has worked closely with Microsoft over the past 12 years, collaborating on product development, bringing innovative technologies to market, and exceeding customer expectations. As a Microsoft Platinum Partner, a Global ISV, and a member of Microsoft’s Manufacturing ISV program, Autodesk’s close relationship with Microsoft enhances Autodesk’s ability to provide products that raise the bar for innovation and transcend operating systems. Whether companies use Microsoft Vista or Microsoft XP operating systems, Autodesk is committed to delivering solutions that provide the functionality its customers have come to expect.

The close collaborations between Autodesk and Microsoft result in simultaneous support for new technologies, as evidenced by the compatibility of Autodesk applications with Windows Vista and Microsoft’s adoption of the Autodesk DWF file format as a native part of Windows Vista. In addition, Autodesk has chosen the Direct3D graphics application programming interface (API) developed by Microsoft over the alternative OpenGL API. By aligning with Microsoft on Direct3D, Autodesk is delivering a highly positive experience to customers using its products with Windows Vista. For more information on how Direct3D enhances the user experience for graphics-intensive applications, see page 15 of this paper.

While Autodesk believes that Windows Vista will become the industry-standard OS over time, the Autodesk 2008 product line increases design efficiency and cost savings for customers using any supported OS. Companies that plan to deploy Windows Vista this year may have questions about whether their specific Autodesk applications are compatible with Windows Vista and what kinds of performance changes they may expect. This paper addresses Vista compatibility and performance on a product by-product basis, as well as highlights the new functionality of the Autodesk 2008 products. Simply skip to the appropriate product section for information on the following:

• AutoCAD®
• AutoCAD® Architecture
• AutoCAD® Civil 3D®
• AutoCAD® Electrical
• AutoCAD LT®
• AutoCAD® Map 3D
• AutoCAD® Mechanical
• Autodesk® 3ds Max®
• Autodesk® Buzzsaw®
• Autodesk® Constructware®
• Autodesk® InventorTM
• Autodesk MapGuide® Enterprise
• Autodesk® Maya®
• Autodesk® TopobaseTM
• Revit® Architecture"

São Paulo Brasil CAD Camp

I had a great time yesterday attending and presenting at the São Paulo CAD Camp. AUGI Brasil did a great job as did the host and the Universidade São Judas. I saw so many people that I had known only by email in attendance as well as good Brazilian friends. Some came from as far as Curitiba Brasil by bus to attend and said it was well worth it. I heard from some in attendance that the instructors were top notch. It was also a treat to see my Autodesk 25 years history article translated in the Portuguese AUGIWorld Magazine.

Later in the evening I went to a dinner with instructors and AUGI Brasil hosted by Herbert Ortiz the AUGI Brazil Country Chapter Coordinator and also of OFCDesk LLC at a São Paulo pizza restaurant which was excellent. São Paulo is well known for its pizza. I will post more once I catch up on email and relocate to another part of São Paulo today. This city is HUGE and the heavy rain currently makes getting anywhere a difficult and long task. I have uploaded a few photos from CAD Camp in my Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/btl/.

 
 

Até depois!

Shaan is in São Paulo Brasil

I made it to Brazil (Brasil) this morning and am now getting situated and ready for CAD Camp this week in the worlds 3rd largest city. If you are in São Paulo and would like to meet please email me at shaan@autodesk.com but I will only be here for a few days. It is nice coming from the cold winter snow of Utah to the summer warmth of Brazil.  I will be posting photos during the trip and CAD Camp to my Flickr photo site http://www.flickr.com/photos/btl/.

I am still recovering from the overall excellent experience of Autodesk University 2007 which was the largest and best AU so far.

Cheers,
Shaan

Made it Home, Now off to South America

I made it back to Utah and am now packing for travel to Brazil tomorrow. The drive yesterday took twice as long as I hit heavy snow and fog making for a interesting long drive. I have the Matt Murphy Clay Head Sculpture in my possession but have not determined if I will take the clay head with me as it would suffer a terrible meltdown in the heat and humidity. I did get a photo of it in a few locations on the way home like the Mojave desert, Zion National Park, and as a head on a snowman in Meadow Utah. I think I will place it in storage for safe keeping and take it to AU 2008 in Vegas next year.

Look at my Flickr gallery from AU 2007 and soon photos from Brazil and Peru. You an also share your AU 2007 photos in the free AU 2007 pool group pool. I hope everyone made it home safe and sound and kept the knowledge gained and business cards from those they met.

AutoCAD Turns 25

For those that did not see it at AU or in their mailbox I was placed on the cover of the current November 2007 AUGIWorld Magazine with an interview about Autodesk\AutoCAD history over the past 25 years in the issue. Some AU attendees even came and got the issue autographed although I am not sure if they were just having fun and goofing.

 

You can read the issue online in electronic format at the following link.

Scott Sheppard of Autodesk Labs - Now and Back from the 80s

I cant believe Scott was brave enough to blog a photo of himself from the eighties but he was motivated to do so after photos of Lynn Allen were posted from AU 2007. He asked what I was like in the eighties, "uhhh rock on dewd, where's my hair brush".

Humor: A Blast from the Past

Scott from the in the rockin 80s

Umm not sure who this guy below is...

I am now just getting ready to leave Las Vegas and head North where it is currently slowing which will slow my drive from around 6 hours to perhaps as long as 10 hours but I have a good co-pilot the Matt Murphy Clay Head Sculpture to navigate the weather.

Cheers,
Shaan

AU 2007 - Friday Goodbye AU 2007, Start Planning for AU 2008

Thursday Night AU 80s themed party was HUGE and a blast. There were so many people, food , beverages, old 80s video games, pool tables, activities, 2 comedians, 1 chain saw juggler, and the band Tainted Love. After the party I went out with coworkers and customers to Tao upper floor which was a really cool place then for breakfast for the annual chicken and waffles with maple syrup at the Grand Lux located in the Venetian.

Autodesk University 2007 came to a final end today after the largest attendance of around and it could be a coincidence but when AU ended it got very cold, clouds covered the sky, and rain started here in Las Vegas.

• The Venetian club Tao and the upstairs environment and view down the strip.
• Being on a panel during Yoshi Hondas CAD Management Town Hall with such esteemed co panelists including David Harrington, Tom Conti, Jamie Casile, Daniel Herbert, Danny Counts, Veronica Lamb, and even the infamous Matt Murphy Clay Head Sculpture sat on the panel in front of the attendees but never answered a single question.
• Stan running into me with the scooter.
• The AUGI Top DAUG Competition
• The 360 degree high definition system during the keynote and showing of code name Metropolis. I sure whish I could have that system for gaming. ;-)
• Jeff Jeff Kowalski Autodesk CTO and his presentation keynote as it was cool and his presentation style was reminiscent of a smooth Steve Jobs.
• Lynn Allen's picture from the 1980s that she showed to over 7000 people.
• Having my face and interview on the AUGIWorld Magazine cover.

I head back to Utah tomorrow morning then to Brazil on Monday for CAD Camp and then onto Peru for some Amazon jungle trekking and photos. I need to also get my voice back and caught up on email, pack, and process and backup photos.
