New Things Done Wrong
I have two Things Done Wrong to include. Chasing deadlines today so have to wait to process and include story. Soon.
Kobayashi Cat Video/Slideshow
This
media item runs in Facebook. Not sure if it will here. Ok it does, but is twitchy. It demands I sign in as a new customer to Facebook and demands a new flash player. Maybe can get a “clean link” later.

Output Status
I have gotten the new versions of the various CADD programs working on Windows 7, and talking to the new printer now. I am having to learn the new program upgrades as I go along. About a third of all the files are not migrating intact so I will have to go back to the old versions on XP and save again doing something different. Once I get it all sorted out output will be many times faster.
As it is, the
study plans and dvd sales take way more time than they should and are thus not really affordable to me. Most of the problems are postal; people complain (to me) that the post office is slow. And Paypal, not notifying me of an order, or double-billing a customer, or taking refund from me even if USPS proves I mailed it. Some time later when I sort out what to do.
Launch at Gil’s
I see that the former Kobayashi catamaran got launched and got press
too.

Almost Caught Up
I’m almost caught up with the truckload of holiday plans orders. Between travel, flu and some USCG emergencies, I got behind. Almost there. I will
be able to work on new work next week again.
Kobayashi Cat
I just got some pictures of the catamaran known as Jack Kobayashi’s boat or the cat at Gils.
The new owner, Courage Winter will be launching next week. This catamaran goes back a ways. It was the first design where I did the entire plan set in CADD. Must have been ’87 or ’88. Its looking beautiful now. Epoxy/Duracore construction.
Some Articles
My friend Martin Schöön has a listing of some of the articles that he has published. And some other articles.
