There are very few certainties
in life - taxes, death and change. The first two we
can't do much about. Change on the other hand we can
either choose to embrace, or not. Change is not a
bad thing - without it you can't grow.
Autodesk's signature software
application, AutoCAD, has now been around for 25
years. Embracing change in technologies,
environmental priorities, end user requirements and
the fact they "want it now", has driven AutoCAD's
success and longevity.
Our country now has a change
of government, environmental changes are happening
all around us, Australia's resource industry is
booming, business generally in Cairns is healthy.
Change is all around, in fact "The Only Constant in
Life is Change", so please enjoy our "New Look for a
New Year" email
newsletter.
Dale, Chris and the team
at Realtime International wish you a safe and happy
holiday season and a prosperous New Year for 2008!
Please note we will be
closed from 4pm 21/12/07 until 8.30am 7/1/08.

Autodesk and AutoCAD -
Celebrating 25 Years of Design Innovation!
Twenty-five years ago, John Walker and 15
co-founders established Autodesk with a goal of
creating a CAD application at an affordable
price. Since the creation of AutoCAD software,
the company has grown tremendously, taking
Autodesk into new areas of computer-aided design
with solutions specifically designed for
industries including AEC,
manufacturing, government, simulation and
Hollywood. |
 |
|
To recognise AutoCAD's past 25 years of design
innovation, Autodesk has created an
interactive Web site. Take a stroll down
memory lane!
Do you know - What version of AutoCAD was the
first that shipped to customers? Which version
of AutoCAD had dimensioning added as an
extension? What significant event first occurred
in 1985? Test yourself in "Autodesk Trivia"… |

Revit Architecture -
Designing a Greener Building
The cornerstone of building information
modelling is the high-quality design information
it provides. This paper delves into a practical
example of one way that this information is
being utilised - in this case allowing
architects to perform faster and more accurate
energy analysis on early stage building designs,
thereby promoting the construction of "green
buildings".

Congratulations to
Limecut Interior Designs!
On 23rd November this year, a piece of old New
York was bobbing merrily alongside the Marlin
Marina in Cairns. This day represented many
months of local building and out-fitting of the
luxury Florida Bay Coaster "The Investigator".
Based on the design of a 1930's New York tugboat
and kitted out with tasselled and swagged
drapes, and a mahogany ship's wheel, stepping
aboard was to step into a bygone era. |

Our customer, Sheila Sparkes from Limecut
Interior Designs extended us an invitation to
celebrate the official launch of the vessel. The
following day, owner Jim Downs from Sydney left
the Marina to follow his passion of living
aboard his dream. Congratulations Sheila, Tom
and the team for an amazing job!
Limecut's foundation lies in sharp, innovative
interior design. From concept development to
project management, Limecut has proven expertise
in creating the ideal interior for a range of
sectors - from super yachts, international
cruise ships, 5 star hotels and resorts, to aged
care facilities, health clubs and corporate
offices. For examples of Limecut's projects

Business Coaching -
often you need an outsider who CAN see the
forest for the trees!
I (Chris) was fortunate recently to have been
invited to attend the local ActionCOACH's
quarterly "Growth Club". What is Business
Coaching you ask? Well, I had to ask too.
We are not born knowing how to run a business
and it can be a lonely experience. Don't we all
learn by our mistakes and experience? - things
that take up a lot of valuable time! What if you
could shortcut this process, implement tried and
true processes, learn from other people having
made the mistakes, and improve your profits in a
shorter period of time?
A business coach, I discovered, can help you
with sales, marketing, advertising, profit
growth, business growth, business systems, time
management and team building strategies. The
proof was in the stories I heard told by local
small business operators who attended this
particular day. THAT's what it's all about.
Cairns' local ActionCOACH is Carol Hautot
