  • Yep AEC is a Windows world. I was tasked with building Revit Addins to leverage within the Design Automation API. Had to run it in virtualbox which was a ball ache. Eventually moved to parsec to desktop stream instead.

    Shame IFC won’t take off. It’s so limited but at least the files are editable in a text editor. CAD and RVT are a database wrapped inside a binary file which is a holy mess if you load them into a DB viewer.

    Need the EU to step in to pull some things away from Autodesk for Linux to have a chance.

    In reality, the inertia is too much and AEC professionals are too entrenched in Windows tools since they do the job just fine.




  • Reality: N64 & Saturn: Only had PSX back then. Can’t wait to dig into those libraries.

    Fiction: Pacland: used to be 10p in every arcade I visited so I played the feck out of it.

    Mortal Kombat 1 + 2: MK1 may be possible. Heard MK2 may not be. Who knows…

    Save states on C64 & SNES: not likely but C64 really need it. Mainly want it for Creatures 1 & Flimbos Quest & also to save time as a father of 2 kids.

    Nintendo play choice 10: 30p for guaranteed 10 (or was it 20?)mins playtime. Was great value.
