Visiting Darmstadt for the Autodesk Forge DevCon and Autodesk University Germany!

I just setup my iMac at work from scratch on Catalina. What could possibly go wrong?

“Building blocks for Augmented Reality - Newsportal - Ruhr-University Bochum”

It is nice to be featured on your universities homepage.

I just answered my first “support” E-Mail for one of my blog posts. That feels… interesting.

That’s 1.4 percent of their annual worldwide revenue.

Looking through the new and updated Frameworks only confirms that this is a massive year. Not only in the big areas but also the little things. CoreNFC can now read and write all kinds of NFC tags, which is awesome.

Time to catch up with the State of the Union!

Shortcuts can run automatically when you arrive at a location, toggle settings like AirPlane mode, NFC or when you open a specific app.

You can scan a document directly from Files.app, it prompts you for a location to safr, and you can select “on this device” and create a folder there!!
