A construction worker dies on in a fishing accident on his 40th birthday and finds himself greeted at the Pearly Gates by a brass band. Saint Peter runs over, shakes his hand and says "Congratulations!"
"Congratulations for what?" asks the construction worker.
"Congratulations for what?" says Saint Peter.
"We are celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old."
"But that's not true," says the construction worker. "I only lived to be forty."
"
That's impossible," says Saint Peter, "we added up your time sheets."

Tools of the Trade November 2010
|
Greetings!
Well, the Rangers fizzled out in the World Series, but it was nice to actually watch a game in October that I had interest in (I am a lifelong Cubs fan if you didn't know).
I want to draw your attention to the articles below, specifically those running Carlson 2010 & 2011 as there is an urgent bug notice regarding Daylight Savings Time.
I also want to point out the Feature Block on the Left. Our sister company is having an open house on the 19th of this month and I would love to see you there if you are in the area. I will be there to answer questions on data and software, and the rest of the Geomatic Staff will be there to answer all of your hardware and supply questions. To see the flier for the event, click here.
I am not sure if I told you already but I am working more closely with them than ever right now. This is mostly because of the needs created in their Laser Scanning business. I have spent the last few months getting up to speed on the hardware and software and really plan to make even more progress in the coming future. If you can make the field day I would love to talk to you about this if you are interested.
If you have any other questions or want to talk about software such as AutoCAD, Carlson, Point Clouds, or data collection shoot me an email, or give me a call. I have spent so many hours in the past few months working with clients on ways to better improve performance of what they have as well as ways to add new pieces to help make more money in less time. I would love to visit with you on these things as well. I am always a phone call or email away and if you don't have them my email address is pmcarlson@carlsonds.com and my phone number is 512-335-4018.
Just know that I am here to help and I may be able to do so in ways you may not already be thinking about. Have a great November, and of course a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Until next month, stay safe and best wishes!
Sincerely,
Paul M. Carlson

Tips & Tricks
 What happens when CAD crashes?
 Usually that means it is time to go get a fresh cup of coffee. More importantly it does not always mean all is lost. While I am a big advocate of saving and saving often sometimes we forget or simply can't. So what do you do if the program crashes? Click here to watch a video I put together on how to recover from a crash. This video also covers a few other details when using Carlson Field.
To learn more about how CDS can work with you on this or other training/consulting projects call our office or email me directly at pmcarlson@carlsonds.com.
