Welcome to The Pen and Processor

Welcome all to The Pen and Processor - a place for discussion of Computer Aided Drafting, CAD and Project Management, and anything else that relates directly (or tangentially) to drafting in the 21st Century.
This is my first blog so I'll describe a little about myself:

I am in my early 30's and I am a project manager for an architectural firm - well not just a project manager - in fact, it is my Father's firm and I am on track for architectural licensing and eventual ownership of the firm. I started out in the back-room filing drawings - taught myself CAD (v.14) and went to architecture school and now I run the projects for the office. We are a small firm, so efficiency and speed are essential to making money and I like tips, tricks, shortcuts, and new CAD software.
I also manage the office from an IT perspective and general computer troubleshooting perspective as well. My duties include:

• Project Management

• Drafting and Design

• Computer repair and software installation

• Maintaining the "server" and network

• Research of new technology and software and implementation of same

• Reading resumes/input in hiring employees

Hopefully I'll be able to post frequently and discuss tips and tricks, features, CAD standards, CAD Management (and people management) and general computers.
