  • PLM Europe – Track sessions day 1

    I’m splitting my time this afternoon between our partner sessions and our JT Open track session.  I had John go to the JT Open sessions with the recorder, so hopefully we’ll get some podcasts of that up soon. The partner sessions started off with a presentation from a long time partner of our, Matthias Mond…

  • Guten Tag, Frankfurt

    Just arrived in Frankfurt for our European user conference.  The flight was packaed, but I actually managed to get 4 hours of sleep.  I have booth duty tonight, so I will try to make it in to town after that. Hopefully they don’t roll-up the streets at 6 PM, but since it’s Sunday, I may…

  • One for the online toolbox

    This is a cool app, made even better by being free and online.  One of the things I hate to do is change audio and video files from one format to another.  With Media Convert I can let another machine do the work for me, plus there are way more formats than I could ever…

  • The most frustraing game

    Played a round of golf yesterday with two customers and another UGSer as part of a scramble at the Innovation Leadership summit.  It was the first game I have been able to play this year, so I didn’t play that well.  In the end I think we used 5 or 6 of my shots and…
