Personal

Hi, my name's Irné Barnard. I'm an interested user of OOo and other Open Source programs. I have a Computer Science degree, but work in the Architectural (Building Construction - not to be confused with Software Architecture) industry. My experience is mainly in Graphic Design applications (in particular CAD). I consider myself highly advanced in most programs & like playing around with all to find new and useful functionality.

I'm mainly based on a Windows XP / Vista system, but am trying to move towards Linux. Unfortunately due to unavailability of CAD (in particular) on Linux, I'm still stuck with MS operating systems.

Programs used

The following is a list of programs I've used in the past or am using at present. Incomplete

Graphics Programs

Program	Level of expertise	Comments
AutoCAD	20 years 2D & 3D drafting, including customizing using AutoLISP & VBA	This is the program I spend almost all my time in, I know it nearly back-to-front.
Revit	5 years 3D Drafting, Rendering & BIM. Intermediate to advanced usage only. No VBA / Lisp available ... new version comes with VSTA & .NET extensions.	I'm trying to use this for technical documentation instead of AutoCAD, but thus far have not found the time to generate the needed building blocks.
3ds Max	2 years 3D Rendering, intermediate usage only.	I only use this for final presentation rendering, I don't use this to generate the 3d model.

Programming IDE's and Languages

Program	Level of expertise	Comments
Delphi	On-and-Off over 10 years	I've used it while it was still under the Borland name. I prefer this to VB or MS's Visual Studio.
AutoLisp	Advanced	The original (and still used) extension language for AutoCAD
