6-8 hrs!!wow i would probably fall asleep

[masagsxr]

I used to design electronic circuit boards. I was in electronics engineering but ended up doing Information Technology work..... I did want to learn CAD i've just been procrastinating daym...

[Mark_Dorman]

trust me I wanted to. That's what starbucks is for

CAD'spretty simple man..
Microstation gets a little tricky!

[Mark_Dorman]

At least you get to use computers. My grandpa did everything by hand

Yeah i've seen it done and said to myself thats nothing... I guess its different for me since i've been around different softwares and thought to myself i could easily do it.... It didn't feel like it was a challenge enough which ergo i've been procrastinating hahahahaa

ya i actually loved sketching on paper i took that class in high school...
but i can only imagine the amount of time to actually draw a huge building
now you just copy the repetitive stuff

[masagsxr]

I can't draw on paper then do it on the computer. I rather do things 1 time and do it right... thats just me tho... hate repeating stuff :\

[Mark_Dorman]

I know...if you look at all the drawing tools and how precise they had to be by hand it's kinda crazy. Plus all the calculations done on paper...man...

ha i was talking how you can duplicate drawings on the comp so it makes it easier especially if its very similar you can just change it a biy afyer you duplicated it..

mark: i know they even had to use different size lead on there pencils for their lineweights

[masagsxr]

I don't prefer it... Rather do everything on the comp "or" by hand.. its 1 or the other.

[randomxzero]

thats true comp would be easier though!!
technology

dayum it took me forever to catch up!

i didn't care for sketching until i took a blueprint reading class last semester. then i fell in love with design and the concept of engineering. i love figuring out how things work. so after i get my AS i may just be crazy enough to go for my BS in Mech Engineering, or maybe Materials Science...those are both gonna be crazy hard tho! i can do it if i just focus and don't f around...

[masagsxr]

Thats usually what you need to do "focus"... Just think about it this way, "hard work pays off"

[Mark_Dorman]

It's true...hard work does pay off. And it's not too bad if you enjoy what you're studying. I loved science when I was studying it. Still like it for the most part. Mechanical Engineering is the easiest engineering field to go into. EE is the worst from what I've heard and seen...

[mr.asian.m2]

mark... yeah, that slim ps2 would be nice to fit in the mr2 more easy. but, the normal one i have plus the ps1 is just sitting around the house. and i just wanted to put it to good use. at home, i rather play the ps3 or xbox 360. have any of you play resident evil 4? that game rock hard. resident evil 5 will be even better.

[masagsxr]

Still haven't had a chance to put some funding to buy ps3 yet... Luckily, I hooked up my bro to work here at my company so maybe he'll save up for it

[Mark_Dorman]

Eh...I don't really have time for video games anymore

[masagsxr]

its cool to play every now and then.. I play guitar hero III or something with the bros and my beautiful niece. She loves the drums.

[Mark_Dorman]

^I suck at that game...especially the drums
