Guess what I've been up to lately? I've just spent 3 days learning how to use AutoCAD 2006!!!

The odd thing is that I currently have no occasion to use AutoCAD at work. Ok, our department does make use of AutoCAD as it is used for creating plans of the fire alarm system, the air-conditioning ducting routes etc but my employer utilises the services of a couple of AutoCAD operators for things like that.

However, we will be getting a new facilities management database which apparently has some kind of compatibility with AutoCAD so who knows what the future may bring.

Anyway, there we go...AutoCAD. I was surprised at how easy it is to draw things on AutoCAD. I was always rubbish at drawing things. However, AutoCAD pretty much does it all for you.

On another note, just now, when I went onto the MSN homepage, I saw an advert there for a film called The Reaping. The advert was of the "Click to view trailer" variety so I clicked on the advert. I was expecting the trailer to simply start up but instead there was some stuff about how you have to be 17 to view the trailer. There was a form on the trailer webpage requesting my first and last name, my zip code and my date of birth for the purposes of age verification. As I was looking at the form I found myself thinking about information security. While, I wouldn't expect that the people who created the advert and the form to be internet fraudsters, I couldn't help but think that by clicking on the advert in the first place, I had already given them my IP address and now I sure as hell didn't want to fill in some form giving them my date of birth, first and last name and post code. I mean, it would be only a matter of time before my details were on their mailing list and I would be getting all manner of junk mail through the post.

Aside from that I've been listening to Jethro Tull and eating lots of dates.
