In sales, this is known as the impending event closing technique. You can see it in action at car yards around the world. The idea is to encourage you to buy something while you still have the opportunity to do so, preferably without thinking too hard about whether it's a good idea. In this case, is it a good idea? Let's examine the pros and cons.
Only you can make the call about whether a last-minute Suite purchase makes sense for you or your business, and that call can only be an educated guess at best. Nobody has any idea how well Autodesk intends to look after perpetual-only Suite customers when it would clearly prefer them to be rental-only industry collection customers instead. Based on Autodesk's recent history, I would expect strong pressure to be applied to all perpetual license owners to persuade you to switch to rental. The experience is unlikely to be pleasant, particularly if you just stumped up big to buy Suite software.
Are you planning to take this last chance to buy Autodesk software?]]>

Anyway, my ClassicArray exists and I still think it's usefully better than what Autodesk provides. It has been updated to 1.1.0 to install and work smoothly with all AutoCAD releases from 2012 to 2017. Existing license holders can upgrade for free without my involvement and reuse their registration code with the new version. If you're interested, hop over to classicarray.com.]]>
The one thing I really, really dislike about Windows is the way it pushes updates. With Windows 7 I was always selective about what updates I allowed through and when they were applied. Windows 10 doesn't give you that choice. It downloads and applies its updates as it sees fit, regardless of the importance of those updates, my bandwidth and the level of inconvenience applying those updates might cause. Windows 10 Professional only allows you to defer updates until the next restart, and will nag you to restart until you give in.
This is bad enough, but the Home version just takes over your computer and updates and restarts whenever it feels like it. Yes, even if you are in the middle of doing something and have unsaved work, and the update process leaves your computer unusable for two hours. I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to a very computer-smart member of my own family. Quite astonishing levels of malicious arrogance from the utter wankers at Microsoft.
I know there can be some very important reasons for keeping your OS up to date, particularly as far as urgent security patches are concerned. But really, given the choice between a tiny chance of some unknown malicious action by some unknown party (that hasn't yet happened to any computer I've been running in over 30 years) and a 100% chance of known multiple malicious actions by Microsoft, which would you pick? Problem is, I made my choice on those three computers a few months ago and now I'm stuck with it.
Microsoft's arrogance has triggered a minor in-house rebellion; two of my other former Windows computers are now happily running Linux. Five years ago, 100% of the computers in my household were running Windows. Now the figure is 43%, and I'm not even counting handheld devices (that would make it 20%). I haven't bought a new version of Office in many years. Yes, I know, Microsoft isn't exactly quaking in its boots, but it makes me feel better to raise the digit in this way.
Various other people are holding back on Windows 10 for this and other reasons, despite the insistent placement of update icons and nag notices. Some of those nag notices have made the news for all the wrong reasons. Last month, many people found themselves updated to Windows 10 without their explicit consent and against their will because Microsoft changed the status of the Windows 10 update for Windows 7/8 users and employed other sneaky tricks.
To Microsoft: that's a really, really abhorrent low-life scumbag way to behave. These are our computers, not yours. We're the customers (the ones providing the money) and you're just vendors (the ones who want our money). Get back in your box and stop behaving like dickheads. Your assholery has been a significant factor in your decline. Give it up, it's bad for you.
If you're a Windows 7 or 8 user who wants to stay that way, please don't disable updates altogether, because that could leave you vulnerable. Instead, I suggest you check out the free utility GWX Control Panel. If it's too late and you've been updated, here's what you can do. You have a limited amount of time to roll back.
Autodesk wants your software to be updated like this, continually and automatically. This is a bad idea for a whole range of reasons that go beyond why it's a bad idea for Microsoft to do it. I hope to expand on those reasons later, but this post is long enough already. Trust me, it's a terrible idea.
Although right now Autodesk is doing a heart-warmingly poor job of implementing this concept, eventually it might get the technical details right and be in a position to force it on you. Fight it tooth and nail. Make your voice heard wherever you can, online and in person. Uninstall, disable or block any software that attempts to do this. Look for any utilities, tips, etc. that stand between your software and automatic updates, and spread that news far and wide. This is an important battle for control over our own property, so please don't give up.
Navel gazing note: this is the 500th post published on this blog.]]>
This command works as advertised and provides another option to allow limited access to your design information without providing access to your DWG files. It creates a web page containing a view of your drawing and lets you have the URL (link) so you can access it. You can then share this URL with anyone you want to share the design with. They just follow the URL and can view the design using the Autodesk A360 Viewer (no download required).
Heidi Hewett wrote a fuller description of how it works on the AutoCAD blog that would be pointless to reproduce here.
One caveat: although Autodesk describes the design's location as secure and anonymous, it's important to understand that it's an open location. Anybody with that URL has access to that page. Although the URL is long, complex and probably unguessable, if you email somebody that URL and they start an email forward/reply chain that ends up with other people, all of those people can also access that page and you might never know about it. Also, the index that Autodesk must maintain for all of these pages would be a prime target for hackers looking to steal design content, at which point "secure and anonymous" will be meaningless.
So maybe don't use this method to share your nuclear plant designs. Also, rescind any sensitive designs as soon as access is no longer needed, in order to limit the exposure time (see About Conferring with Clients and Colleagues Online). The URL stays active for 30 days unless you rescind it earlier.
Autodesk is to be commended for providing this feature and documenting it well and honestly. There is little evidence of the misleading hype about security that tainted Autodesk's DWF marketing back in the day. Here's a Cloud-based feature that adds value to AutoCAD with little or no downside. Just be aware of its semi-open nature and use it appropriately.
Note: this feature requires A360 to be selected during installation or deployment creation (which it is by default). If A360 is not installed, the Share Design View button will be greyed out. The command will still exist and will attempt to connect to A360 but will then fail with a Service Unavailable message.]]>
What does this (and a bunch of other factors) mean for Autodesk's profitability?
Numbers from Tenlinks (with FY corrected), data accumulated from Autodesk sources.
Autodesk lost $486m over the last 4 quarters, compared with a profit of $73m the 4 quarters before that and a profit of $202m the 4 quarters before that. Looks like a nose dive to me. But things are just wonderful, according to Carl Bass:
We had a strong first quarter, which builds on last quarter's momentum and is a great start to the fiscal year. Our customers and partners continue to embrace Autodesk's transition to a subscription-based business model and cloud-based software. We continue to diligently control our costs while investing in the transition. We're striking a healthy balance in achieving both short-term and long-term goals.
Disclaimer: I'm not a business analyst and nobody should make financial decisions based on anything I have to say. But it seems to me that Carl's whistling past the graveyard and disaster for Autodesk isn't just looming, it's well under way. I doubt the board is unaware of this, whatever spin they feel obliged to put on things. I wonder what action Autodesk will take? Here are my guesses in descending order of probability:
1. Keep steering the plane downwards and continue to pretend the flight plan is a good one. Carefully arrange golden parachutes for the pilots so they can jump out of the plane just before it hits the ground.
2. Go even harder at the customers, aggressively pressuring every customer into rental much earlier than originally planned. There are various methods that could be used to do this, which I may discuss later. The results are unlikely to be pretty, but the Autodesk board might think otherwise.
3. Slowly back off the rental thing piecemeal by experimentally reintroducing perpetual licenses for selected products (e.g. AutoCAD LT) to see what happens. Spin this to make it look like it's not a change of direction by calling perpetual licenses something else, in the same way that the meaning of "subscription" has been transformed in Autodeskspeak. How about Infinite Subscription?
4. Abort! Abort! Do a total about-turn on the policy, admit it was all a terrible mistake and spin it as "We've listened to our customers". No, I don't think this is a likely outcome, despite it probably being the best thing for Autodesk's future prospects.
Maybe you have some more creative suggestions?
Whatever happens, Autodesk has done massive damage to its biggest asset, customer loyalty. Many long-term Autodesk loyalist customers (including myself) are actively planning or executing an Autodesk exit strategy involving competing products. Others have already jumped ship. I spoke to an increasingly busy Bricsys person last week and he thinks Autodesk's strategy is just wonderful (for him). Even in the best-case scenario, Autodesk's self-inflicted damage will not be repairable in the short term. If Autodesk survives into the longer term, maybe it can find dumber customers and thrive, but I wouldn't bet on it.]]>
Dear Christopher [sic],
I have some important information to share with you.
As we continue our transition to a fully subscription-based business, we remain committed to providing you greater value, more flexibility, and a simpler way to access the Autodesk software you need.
On August 1, 2016, we will introduce Autodesk industry collections and end the sale of Autodesk Design & Creation Suites.
Industry collections will provide you access to a wide selection of the essential Autodesk software for your profession. They will offer immediate access to new technology, cloud services, and several licensing options. In short, industry collections will give you the freedom to access the software products you want, when you want them. Learn more about the industry collections here.
To make way for industry collections, we will end the sale of new Design & Creation Suite subscriptions and perpetual licenses after July 31, 2016.
If you wish to purchase more Design & Creation Suites before August 1, 2016, we encourage you to subscribe now and rest assured that we will provide you with a simple way to switch to an industry collection in the future, if you so choose. If you prefer, you can purchase perpetual licenses of a Design & Creation Suite with a maintenance plan before August 1.
If you wish to continue receiving updates, support, and other benefits for your Design & Creation Suites, you can do so for as long as you continue your existing subscription or maintenance plan.
To learn more about Autodesk industry collections and options for switching your subscription (if you choose to do so) please read our Frequently Asked Questions. [I fixed the email's URL which didn't point to the FAQ].
I want to thank you for being an Autodesk customer, and I hope you share my excitement about these important enhancements to our offerings.
Yours sincerely,
Jeff Wright
Vice President, Customer Engagement
Autodesk, Inc.
No, I have no idea why I'm Christopher. No, I have no idea why Autodesk is so averse to using initial capitals for its product names. It's confusing and silly.
As far as I can tell, industry collections are just renamed/combined Suites with a few things shuffled around a bit. If Autodesk were still in the business of selling software I might be interested in examining the pros and cons of moving to industry collections. Autodesk isn't (or very soon won't be), so I'm not interested. As it is, the annual cost is out of the question (unless I were actually going to use a decent number of the included products, which I wouldn't). That's to be expected, because the whole point of trying to push people onto desktop subscription (Autodeskspeak for rental) is to extract much larger amounts of cash over a given period of time.
Sorry Jeff, I don't share your excitement. Thanks, but no thanks.]]>
Note how there's no obvious "stop nagging me and leave me alone" option. Autodesk Application Manager's settings page does include an Alerts tab which allows you to turn off all desktop alerts, but the above message indicates Application Manager has suffered an "end of life" experience so there's not much point having it on your system.
Before I get onto the new product and how it works, I want to discuss its name. It's woeful. I have never been less whelmed by any product name than Autodesk desktop app. It's not even Autodesk Desktop App, it's Autodesk desktop app (sans initial capitals). It's dull, generic, uninspired, and it means nothing. AutoCAD is an Autodesk desktop app. Inventor is an Autodesk desktop app. Graphic Impact used to be an Autodesk desktop app. This is the equivalent of Ford naming their next new car "Ford road vehicle". It says to me, "We couldn't come up with a name so we just gave up."
Having got that off my chest, what about the product itself? What does it do? According to Autodesk, this:
Autodesk desktop app is a content delivery solution. The desktop component installs with Microsoft Windows®-based Autodesk 2017 products and suites. It replaces the previous in-product update components and the Autodesk Application Manager.
Autodesk desktop app keeps Autodesk Subscription customers informed of product updates, new releases, new features, and special subscriber-only learning and training materials, as they become available. Autodesk desktop app also delivers and applies critical security patches for all 2015 Autodesk products onwards.
Does it deliver? No. Not for me, anyway. In my secure proxy server environment, it fails to connect, despite Autodesk Application Manager working fine in the same environment. There is a long and unfortunate history of various aspects of Autodesk software switching between working and not working in a secure proxy environment, and this product just added to that history. Things that worked in one release stop working in a new release. Some of them might start magically working again in a later release. I can only assume it's developers tinkering with stuff and not realising the consequences. Whatever the reason, it inconveniences customers, makes Autodesk look bad at the Internet (again), and throws a spanner in the works as far as Autodesk's online-driven future plans are concerned.
Besides it having the dumbest name ever and (for some) not doing the one thing it's designed to do, what else is wrong with it? Here's a list for starters:
Let's say you don't care about any of that and still desperately want this thing working. What to do? At the bottom of the About Autodesk desktop app knowledgebase article, there is a link: Autodesk desktop app is not able to connect to the Internet. When I clicked it, I got this:
Well….this really is embarrassing. To be fair, the link appears to be working now, so you probably won't see the above. However, what you do see isn't any better. The advice provided there is terrible. It's asking for totally unreasonable holes to be punched through your firewall, allowing whitelist access to a myriad of marketing and other undesirable sites (e.g. Akamai, which has a history of sub-optimal online ethics). I don't think so.
The best thing I can say about Autodesk desktop app is that you can choose to not install it with your 2017 product. That seems like an excellent idea to me, because this product is a crock. Uninstall it if it's been installed. Uninstall Autodesk Application Manager if that's installed, because it's just going to stop working and nag you to death in the meantime. Then store away this little episode at the back of your mind for future reference, because I'm sure Autodesk hasn't finished pushing us down this path yet. Push back. Hard.]]>
Here is the announcement. When is this event, exactly?
Join us at our first "Big Bang" Answer Day online event on Wednesday, May 18th from 6:00am to 6:00pm Pacific Time.
Pacific Time is currently UTC (GMT) -7 hours, so for people outside North America, that means UTC 1 PM Wednesday 18 May to 1 AM Thursday 19 May. To calculate the times in your own location, I suggest using the very handy timeanddate.com site or thetimenow.com.]]>
These days, McNeel is best known for the 3D modelling software Rhino. I have heard good things about this product, but have never used it. However, I am a long-term user of another McNeel product, DOSLib. This is an extensive set of functions that adds greatly to the functionality of AutoLISP. It all works very well and has saved me many hours of work that I would have spent reproducing that functionality. Of course, many LISP programmers could write functions to calculate a cube root, or read a text file, or display a date in whatever format you like, or copy files, or generate a GUID, or toggle the Caps Lock status, or display an HTML file, or return a list of OLE objects in the drawing, or display a multi-select file dialog, or return a list of Windows printers, or a hundred other handy things. The point is, they don't have to because all that has been done for them and handed over for nothing.
The documentation is straightforward and accurate, and is provided in the form of a good old-fashioned local CHM file. This Help system may be unfashionable, but it remains infinitely superior to the still-awful system that paying AutoCAD customers have had to put up with for the last few years.
For those investigating alternatives to AutoCAD for whatever reason, the availability of DOSLib for Bricscad may help make that particular alternative a more attractive proposition.
Despite McNeel and Autodesk breaking ties many years ago, McNeel's Dale Fugier has continued to provide, maintain and improve DOSLib. What's more, DOSLib has remained totally free of charge and ad-free throughout its history, which dates back to 1992! Sometimes, there really is such a thing as a free lunch.
So here's a big raised glass to Dale and Robert McNeel. Thank you for the many years of outstanding customer service in exchange for nothing but good feelings. Long may you prosper!
Disclaimer: I have no pecuniary relationship with McNeel; no money has ever changed hands in either direction. This post is totally unsolicited; I hope it comes as a pleasant surprise to McNeel.]]>
I expect I broke a few things; please let me know what.]]>
Note that currently, I need to approve comments before they appear. I may change this setting later, but if you comment and nothing appears instantly, don't panic.]]>
Autodesk will acheive better success in convincing customers about Cloud computing and other concepts by actively and interactively engaging with them. Addressing their specific and legitimate concerns has a chance of success if the concepts have merit. Insultingly likening customers to allegedly stupid animals isn't going to convince anyone.
Besides, the point has little validity. Armadillos have 20 species, are currently dramatically increasing their territory in North America, and have been around rather longer than humans. Maybe we should wait until we've been around a few tens of millions of years longer before we get too cocky about how terrible those stupid armadillos are at surviving.
Edit: Shaan has responded to this post on his own blog, deleted my reply and closed comments. He seems rather upset about something.
Edit: …and has now restored my comment and opened comments again.]]>
What do I want you to try? It's up to you, but I don't want to waste too much of your time. Why not have a go at something that would only take you a couple of minutes in any AutoCAD release from the last quarter of a century?
For example, I'm sure everyone here could start a new drawing using a template containing your company's layer standards, insert a title block and populate a couple of the attributes, then accurately draw and dimension a single 2D view of a rectangular plate containing a single round hole. Try to do the equivalent in AutoCAD WS. If you have difficulty with that, try uploading a simple drawing and perform a few simple edits instead. How did that go?
I'll be interested to see what you came across at each stage of the process. Was the setup process straightforward? What was easy to do in the WS editor? What was difficult? What was impossible? What worked well? What didn't? What happened quickly? What took a long time? What's good about the interface? What's not? Do the commands work as you would expect them to? Please try to describe your experiences as objectively as you can.
Note: I've asked a similar question before, but that was some time ago and things have moved on since then.]]>
I do believe that everything is moving to the cloud.
There are a lot of applications that will [still] be done on the desktop. Whether Autodesk does it or not, I can't think of a single function that won't necessarily be done in the cloud.
Still a bit confused? Me too. It's not clear where this leaves his underlings who have been rushing to contradict Carl's earlier statements by unambiguously reassuring customers that Autodesk would continue to provide desktop software. Will they now come out with "clarifying" statements that fall into line with whatever it is Carl's saying here? I doubt it, that would be just too embarrassing. I suspect we'll see things go very quiet on this subject for a while.
Now we know (or do we?) it's full steam ahead with desktop dismantlement, what about all those Cloud concerns? Carl does the standard Cloud PR thing of "addressing" that question by restating some of the concerns, ignoring others, but not coming up with answers for any of them other than expressing a vague hope that some of them will go away:
Foremost in people's mind is security, privacy, reliability, confidential information. Some of those concerns will fall by the wayside.
Asked to come up with a compelling reason for customers to embrace the Cloud, he didn't:
In many cases, for anyone to move to any technology platform you have to do more than what people have today. So what's the compelling event? I think what you will see in the cloud is that it will look like every other disruptive technology. Some people will downplay it. Some will poo poo it.
More of the same, then. It's disruptive, but people with legitimate concerns about that disruption are just naysayers to ignore. With an attitude like that, the chances of Autodesk taking its dubious customer base with it into Cloudy Heaven are slim indeed.
Caveat: I do not have access to the entire interview, so the opinions expressed here are based only on what I do have. It's quite possible that Carl had something useful to say that didn't appear in the article.]]>
In upFront eZine #756, Autodesk's Andrew Anagnost (or was it Clay Helm?) had the following to say, and must say I agree totally with the first sentence:
The best evidence is how we have behaved historically. When we included Mechanical Desktop with Inventor, the media complained that we were killing Mechanical Desktop; you were probably one of them. But we didn't; we came out with six, seven more releases of it, completely free.
So, MDT users, you're the poster child for how Autodesk looks after its customers. You're also evidence for how wrong those nasty media naysayers can be. So here's your opportunity to offer your gratitude to Autodesk for looking after you so well and giving you all that completely free software. Or perhaps you're the user of another Autodesk product that fell out of fashion or was deemed a technological dead end (like desktop software, apparently). Let's hear your good news stories about how well Autodesk treated you and your investment.
If you don't want to add a comment, there's a poll over on the right. I look forward to seeing the "Brilliantly" option show a near-100% rating!]]>
Carl Bass, CEO
Phil Bernstein, Vice President, Building Industry Strategy and Relations
Scott Sheppard, Autodesk Labs Software Development Manager (with private Cloud caveat)
Autodesk people who say no:
There's huge irony in the way Clay (or Andrew) attempts to paint the shafting of MDT customers as a we'll-look-after-you example, but I think that's a deliberate distraction tactic; other than this comment I'm going to ignore it. I'm ignoring, too, the spin about informal interviews, misinterpretation and the like. There's a black-and-white contradiction here. Autodesk either intends to move all its applications online and away from the desktop, or it doesn't.
Two men say they're Jesus
One of 'em must be wrong
Dire Straits – Industrial Disease
So who do we believe? Last time I looked at an org chart, the CEO trumped the lot. The buck stops with Carl. So why is he letting his underlings go around undermining his Cloudy Vision? I see the following possibilities:
None of these options makes Autodesk look good. Is there an option 4? Feel free to speculate. Ultimately, the only chance of sorting this out is by Carl Bass himself coming out with a definitive and spin-free statement. Even then, will anyone believe him?
I have lost all trust I had in you
Opeth – To Rid The Disease
I can agree with one thing Clay (or Andrew) had to say; you will get the best idea of what's to come by looking at Autodesk's history. So if you're concerned about Autodesk pushing you onto the Cloud against your will, don't be. Instead, be afraid. Very afraid.]]>
If you're like me, you answered the same for most or all of those questions. I own all of the above and rent none of it. I prefer owning all of the above. Why? Three Cs:
That doesn't mean renting things never makes sense, of course. I wouldn't buy a car to drive around while visiting another country, for example. Many people can't afford to buy their own homes and have no alternative but to rent. But that doesn't alter the basic point that ownership is the most desirable situation to be in. Let's look at another situation and see if that point still applies:
There are an increasing number of people who feel that owning music is old hat. For example, have a look at Scott Sheppard's blog post on this subject. Here's one thing Scott has to say:
When you think about it, you don't want to own an album or CD, you want to hear the songs when you want to.
Sorry, Scott, but there is more to it than just hearing songs when I want to. I have thought about it, very carefully, and I do want to own an album or CD. I want this for the same reasons I want to own my home, my car and so on.
The cost issue may or may not apply, depending on the album and the service, but for me the other two factors are dealbreakers anyway. Besides, there are other reasons I want to own an album. These include artwork, lyrics, the pleasure that comes from collecting and owning an artist's works, and so on. I understand that these aspects are down to my personal preference. There are plenty of kids out there who just want to listen to this week's stuff without thinking about the future too much. However, huge numbers of those sort of people aren't customers, and don't enter into the commercial equation. When they download music, they don't pay for it.
Scott's experiment with Spotify is hardly a compelling argument for non-ownership. He lists a whole bunch of things that are irritating and which detract from his ability to listen to the music when and where he wants to. Things that don't apply to those of us who own our music (or those who download it for free). In fact, it's a very convincing argument that the "anytime, anywhere" mantra needs to be turned on its head. Want to ensure that you'll be able to listen to the music you want? Anytime, anywhere, uninterrupted, problem-free and independent of external factors? Ownership, not Cloudy stuff. Every time.
With that in mind, let's look at one more situation:
Let's sidestep the convenient (and court-approved, in some locations) legal idea that customers don't actually own the software they buy. Let's interpret the word "software" above as the ability to use the software. This includes whatever is required to do so, from a media, technical and licensing perspective. While you and I might prefer to permanently own our software (or licence to use that software), Autodesk likes to think that society:
is moving from [sic] only requiring access to products instead of owning them
and so it wants to:
move from offering a perpetual license with maintenance to a termed subscription model
In other words, Autodesk doesn't want you to own software any more, it wants to rent it to you. This desire is clearly the prime mover behind its Cloud push. Never mind that the last time Autodesk tried renting out its software, the experiment was a dismal and short-lived failure because of a lack of customers. This has nothing to do with what you want, it has everything to do with what Autodesk wants.
Is this all OK with you? Do continuity, control and cost really not matter when it comes to software? Are you happy to hand matters over to your friendly vendor and not think about the future too much, like some pop-happy teenager? Or, like me, do you think owning stuff is still important?]]>
Document "drawing name" has a command in progress.
Hit enter to cancel or [Retry]:
At this point, the user can do nothing with the program. Hitting Enter, Esc, R, etc. or doing more all do nothing except cause the message to be redisplayed. Picking a point or further wheel zooming does nothing useful. Using the application's red X, or attempting to use the Taskbar to close it are equally ineffectual. The user has no alternative but to terminate Civil 3D using Task Manager, losing all unsaved work in all drawings.
This happens for me in Windows 7 64-bit. It does not occur using AutoCAD 2013 on the same system. Does it happen for you?]]>

The Kim Kardashian of Essex! Lauren Pope takes inspiration from her US counterpart in a stomach-baring crop top and clinging green pencil skirt
They've got more than a few things in common.
They both star in hit reality shows, they both have figures to die for and they have both become household names over the past few years.
And now it seems that Lauren Pope is starting to take style inspiration from fellow TV queen Kim Kardashian - judging by her ensemble as she stepped out in London on Thursday night.
The Kim Kardashian of Essex! Lauren Pope took inspiration from her US counterpart as she headed out in London on Thursday night
Green fan: Kim wore a similar skirt while out in November, before opting for a lighter shade out in Beverly Hills this week
The 30-year-old blonde adopted Kim's new favourite colour as she wore a green pencil skirt with a thigh-high split to show off her long legs to enjoy an evening at ME Hotel in the capital.
Lauren also followed in Kim's ever-so-fashionable footsteps by teaming the skirt with a stomach-baring crop top - a trick her US counterpart has been using in recent months to flaunt her enviable post-baby body.
The TOWIE star completed her look with a strappy pair of black sandals, a black clutch bag and an embellished gold necklace, topped off with a leather jacket to keep her warm in the chilly London temperatures.
Kim is most certainly a fan of a figure-hugging green skirts. having been seen in a forest green one in a similar shade to Lauren's back in November.
Gorgeous in green: Lauren showed off her slim figure in the thigh-high split skirt and a black crop top, but she hasn't quite go the same posterior as Kim
Radiant: Lauren kept her make-up simple for the night out
More recently, Kim opted for a lighter, turquoise coloured vintage Alaia skirt to shop in Beverly Hills on Monday.
And cropped tops are a wardrobe staple for the world-famous reality star, as she proved by teaming the skirt with a cream Celine number for the retail therapy outing and the darker shade one with a stomach-baring grey T-shirt last year.
Lauren was out with her TOWIE co-stars Chloe and Charlie Sims on Thursday night, tweeting earlier in the evening: 'We OUT out tonight @djkellieacreman @VasJMorgan @Chloe_Sims @charlessims_ and lil Lucy #pardy.'
Dark side: Chloe Sims gave her outfit a gothic twist by pairing it with dark lipstick
Three's a crowd: Lauren and Chloe were joined by Charlie Sims at the bash
Pop princesses: Jamelia and Mutya Buena also attended the party
As well as being kept busy with
various nights on the town, Lauren has also been spending her time
sharing her opinions on this year's Celebrity Big Brother.
Not holding back with her disdain for one of the housemates, Lauren told the Daily Mirror: 'Lee Ryan is a massive t**t and everything I despise in a man. Selfish, egotistical, and one that obviously has zero respect for women.'
Lauren was referring to the fact that Lee led glamour model Casey Batchelor on, before declaring his true feelings for American actress Jasmine Waltz.
She added in her opinion piece: 'As someone who's had more than their fair share of relationships play out on national TV, I really do feel Casey's pain. Having to go through that without everyone watching is hard enough.'

|I actually thought the second story was really great, and had some really hilarious moments in it. (spoiler["Manga artists have no other marketable skills." "Too late to become a civil servant!"] ) But hey, to each their own, especially when it comes to comedy. I do agree that the show seems a bit uneven, even if I did like all three stories so far.

This. I'm not either of these:
and yet those episodes have easily been the best part of the show for me. Most people I've talked to about the show seem to agree.
"Uneven" is a good description of the show, though, and is the only reason I can't praise the show as much as I'd like to.

|I didn't hate the Manga arc but I sure thought it was the weakest of the three thus far. It had few fairies and wasn't about the end of the world; it didn't follow the humour and tone set down in the first arc.

|I've loved all the arcs so far, but I would agree that the show's uneven. I've heard opinions holding one or more arcs to be brilliant and the others mediocre in almost all combinations; I think that it comes down to taste and that no arc is objectively inferior to the others.

|I thought that episodes 3 and 4 where the second and third funniest in the series. while the 5 and 6 episodes were weak and not that funny (yes I have seen 2001 a space odyssey. giant cat...really.... I am sorry but it is to weird for it's own good sometimes. like episode 1 with the famous bread.

I also enjoyed the manga arc, despite the fact that I don't read manga, much more than the Pion/Oyage arc.
It's quite a festival of inside jokes, though. The humor would be utterly lost on anyone who doesn't know what Comiket is, for example. And the ending...
Fairy: Your fate is to take over running the family business.
"Me": I was already running the family business.
It's so funny, because it's so real.

|I don't find the absurdism in the anime to be all that humorous, because it's presented in such a matter of fact and deadpan fashion, whereas that brand of weirdness serves anime like Dai Mahou Touge or Cromartie Highschool far better. As for pointing out things in society, the blunt and obvious approach of SZS always comes off better on me. I like this show a tiny bit, but I cannot call it the best of the season whatsoever, it's just alright. I actually found the manga episodes to the most intriguing, far better anything directly dealing with fairies or chickens.

This show is cynical in a self-impressed way that really puts me off, and I found the main character's inner monologue especially grating. She keeps making these oh-so-clever observations about the other characters' stupid, contradictory lines that feel to me like the writer is trying to explain his own jokes instead of trusting the audience enough to get them.
I was going to drop it after the second episode, but I ended up watching episodes 3 and 4 because I'm a sucker for manga industry satire. I enjoyed them quite a bit and I thought the show was growing on me, but then episodes 5 and 6 brought back everything I disliked about the first two, despite the attempt to give the arc some emotional resonance at the very end. I guess this is just not my cup of tea.

|I've liked it enough that I'm considering importing it, and I haven't come to that conclusion, yet, with any of the other series that I'm watching this season... Will it be my only one? Probably not, but I don't which one(s) I might also pester Amazon about.

Although I largely agree with the review (and it's a nicely written one at that) I also vastly enjoyed the "middle arc". The reason for that may just be that the series did not stop being imaginative. On the contrary, I think the whole spin with spoiler[having them being transported into a manga and create it while being part of it at the same time (complete with an editorial margin and a nice little jab at the current practice of editing works to pamper the readers) worked really well for me.]
I must agree though that these two episodes(especially episode 3) where not as mind-blowingly weird or creepy (aka. awesome) as the rest. Also, I kind of missed the sci-fi references a tiny bit.
Anyway, good review!

East coast rail service is stopped
But it will be back in August, KiwiRail promisesTANIA BUTTERFIELD
Relevant offers
KiwiRail has cancelled the train service from Picton to Christchurch over winter, but says it will resume the service from August 15 in time for the Rugby World Cup.
KiwiRail chief executive Jim Quinn said the TranzCoastal train service would lose money through the low season if it continued.
The company needed to save money following a drop in passenger numbers since the earthquake in Christchurch along with a drop in freight services following the Pike River disaster last year.
The company's target of gross earnings of $120.8 million had taken a $15 million hit, he said.
The TranzAlpine train, which generally attracts more passengers than the TranzScenic, would continue to operate and the company was committed to restarting the east coast service in spring.
"By committing to a restart date we believe that we can provide confidence for the wholesale market and be part of the upswing into the summer season and the Rugby World Cup," he said.
A company spokeswoman said TranzCoastal staff will be retained with full pay during this time and where possible will be shuffled around the company doing other tasks before returning to the TranzCoastal.
Rail and Maritime Transport Union general secretary Wayne Butson said the decision to "mothball" the service was short-sighted.
"It starts to make New Zealand look like a developing country. Will tourists be interested in booking a service that is being pulled off the market then put back on? From a marketing perspective it's a disaster," he said.
Picton and Kaikoura business owners are disappointed at the loss of the train over winter but those spoken to said they understood KiwiRail's decision to do so.
Destination Marlborough general manager Tracey Johnston said New Zealand has been trying hard to tell the world it was open for business after the Christchurch earthquake and KiwiRail's decision contradicted that message.
"Especially when other services have opened up to allow people to travel to Christchurch, the airport, motorhomes etc, and yet we don't have a train service operation."
On the flip side, tourists unable to take the train might rent a car and be able to visit more places in Marlborough, she said.
"It does bode well for Marlborough in that they will have more flexibility to experience the region than they would have from the seat of a train," Mrs Johnston said.
KiwiRail has invested in new carriages for the TranzCoastal train and hopefully will invest heavily in a comeback campaign when the train returns, she said.
Sounds Air staff who sell TranzCoastal tickets in Picton have dealt with numerous complaints and cancellations of train tickets since the service was suspended on February 22.
Sounds Air managing director Andrew Crawford said it was great the TranzCoastal would not be closed indefinitely.
"It's a very good thing they're bringing it back. It's better than not bringing it back at all. They are a business and just can't run at a loss. It seems like a prudent business decision," he said.
It is not fair for people to criticise KiwiRail for not reinstating the train sooner, he said.
"It's only four months away, so let's just look forward to it coming back," he said.
The coach service which had replaced the TranzCoastal train will continue to run until Sunday, April 10. Passengers booked after that will be offered a full refund or the opportunity to rebook the train for a later date.

This paper explains the development of a highly efficient progressive 3-D mesh geometry coder based on the region adaptive transform in the spectral mesh compression method. A hierarchical set partitioning technique, originally proposed for the efficient compression of wavelet transform coefficients in high-performance wavelet-based image coding methods, is proposed for the efficient compression of the coefficients of this transform. Experiments confirm that the proposed coder employing such a region adaptive transform has a high compression performance rarely achieved by other state of the art 3-D mesh geometry compression algorithms. A new, high-performance fixed spectral basis method is also proposed for reducing the computational complexity of the transform. Many-to-one mappings are employed to relate the coded irregular mesh region to a regular mesh whose basis is used. To prevent loss of compression performance due to the low-pass nature of such mappings, transitions are made from transform-based coding to spatial coding on a per region basis at high coding rates. Experimental results show the performance advantage of the newly proposed fixed spectral basis method over the original fixed spectral basis method in the literature that employs one-to-one mappings.

HP will begin implementing a worldwide firmware update to select LaserJet and multi-function printer (MFP) models to enable wireless network printing from mobile devices as well as connect to HP's cloud service and print remotely. The update will add to the number of models accessible by the iOS feature AirPrint, which allows devices running iOS 4.2 or later the ability to print from selected apps and native programs to AirPrint-enabled HP printers.
Canon Pixma printers grab AirPrint support for iOS devices
Canon on Tuesday sent word it had brought AirPrint support (link ready soon) to some of its Pixma printers. Its newest all-in-one photo printers with Wi-Fi, the MG5320, MG6220, and MG8220, can all now take print requests from an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch running iOS 4.2 or newer. The "majority" of Canon's inkjets in the future will also get the wireless printing support, Canon said.
HP expands AirPrint support to eight more LaserJets
HP is distributing a new firmware update which substantially augments the number of AirPrint-compatible printers. Eight more LaserJet models have been added; these include the P1102w and P1606dn, as well as six Pro models: the CP1025nw, M1212nf, M1213nf, M1214nfh, M1216nfh and M1217nfw. Prior to today only five LaserJets supported AirPrint, all of which were Pro devices.
Avatron unveils Print Sharing for iOS devices
Avatron has released Print Sharing, a $3 app that prints wirelessly to a wide range of printers, including shared and network printers. It works with both Apple's own AirPrint or its own print engine, and includes options not found on most other AirPrint apps such as dual-sided printing, page order, choice of paper trays and more -- depending on the printer model. "Print Preview" is available to all printers.

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

The Extreme microSDXC UHS-I card can read at a fast 100MB/s and write at up to 90MB/s, and will be shipping sometime in the fourth quarter for $200. http://bit.ly/294Q1If
Apple's third-quarter results due July 26
Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day. The stream of the call will go live at 2pm PT (5pm ET) via Apple's investor site, with the results themselves expected to be released roughly 30 minutes before the call commences. Apple's guidance for the quarter put revenue at between $41 billion and $43 billion. http://apple.co/1oi1Pbm
Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE
French show carries on with iPhones
Following a prolonged power loss in a French TV studio, the crew was able to use a combination of limited studio lighting and a number of iPhones to continue taping the Saturday episode of talk show On n'est pas couché ("We're Still Awake"), using the resulting footage in the first edited episode. The Plus-model iPhones used for the impromptu shoot completion were either iPhone 6 Plusses (which shoot in 1080p) or 6s Plus models (which can shoot in 4K). The decision to use the iPhones to complete the show was made after a power outage at France 2's studio stretched to more than three hours. http://bit.ly/299wqDt
Scrivener for iOS to arrive in late July
For some long-time Scrivener users, to quote Paul Simon, "these are the days of miracle and wonders." As it marks its 10th anniversary in business, developer Keith Blount has announced that the long-awaited iOS version of his creative-writing tool Scrivener is to be submitted to the App Store, following strong praise from beta-testers. The program, expected in late July, will sell for $20 and work with both the iPad and iPhone. When we interviewed Blount last January, he added that Scrivener 3 for Mac would follow along shorty afterwards. http://bit.ly/2901XLE
WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX

E3 kicks off in less than two days, and the Nintendo triforce — Reggie, Iwata, and Miyamoto — have arrived in Los Angeles. Nintendo of America tweeted the above photo where Luigi welcomed Reggie Fils-Aime, Satoru Iwata, and Shigeru Miyamoto to Los Angeles for the 2013 E3 game expo. They did something similar last year, as you can see on the image below. Apparently, they always meet at the back of a van outside the LA Convention Center. That last part was a lie.
Are you looking forward to E3 2013? What would you love to see from Nintendo and the Wii U at this years E3? Let us know in the comments section!

One of my favorite restaurants, Taco Beach Shack has an amazing menu. My favorites are the Mahi Mahi tacos and the mushroom tacos. You can get them soft or crispy. Everything is served with black beans, rice, and the absolute best roasted corn! The special touch is the rich cream sauce. What I like best is that everything tastes fresh, never heavy or greasy. The plate is quite filling. The atmosphere is relaxing and you can enjoy some live music. Don't forget the sangria! An excellent dining experience.
