I'm back and this is why I've been away.



I know it doesn't look like much but it is the 3rd one I've done since the last post. I can't tell you much about it other than say it is a glove box to handle some rather 'hot' materials. I've been doing 11.5 hour days 6 days a week for the last two weeks. I'm starting to dream in the SolidWorks interface.

Update to all SWUG members: I have to get Wes' okay on this before it will be official but I'm thinking of letting the WNC-SWUG.org website go dead and move as much of its content to this blog as I can. The bill for the domain registration and hosting will be due soon and I just don't think the traffic that the site gets justifies it's cost. Even though it's not much and I've been footing the bill since it's inception times are starting to get hard and we all need to find ways to cut back. This will also make it easier for me to update the news on the site. I know that SolidWorks requires that the usergroup have a website, is a blog good enough? Wes will need to answer that question? Are you listening Wes?

What do you think? Is the 'blog' format sufficient to get out the news concerning the usergroup? Let me know your thoughts as they will ultimately influence my decision...

  1. Jeff,

    I have never heard of a requirement to maintain a website. I never had one in the three years I ran the Los Angeles group.

  2. Well I guess I've been wrong about that for a while. Thanks for the info Mike.

  3. Mike is right Jeff - no website or blog is required - only enthusiasm.
