About Me

What the hell is "Greywethr" anyway? It's my own modified spelling of the word "graywether" which is the folk name for sarsen. Sarsen is any of numerous large sandstone blocks or fragments found in south-central England, probably remnants of eroded Tertiary beds. AKA: Saracen, a heathen or pagan stone or monument. AKA: Druid Stone. Stonehenge... The large upright stones of the outer circle are made of sarsen.
I've been working with AutoCAD since 1998, starting with R.14. I was with a mechanical/electrical contractor for 3-1/2 years, a home builder for 1 year, a mechanical contractor for 1 year, and mechanical design here at ASI since March 2004.
It's been a very rough road leading up to college, but it was a learning experience, just as all things are, or at least should be. I've done a lot in my life, proud of some, not all, but live a life of continuous improvement. If you always strive for perfection that you cannot achieve, you should at least better yourself.

FIREFOX is the ultimate web browser! It fucking rocks! It's super-customizable, doesn't crash, doesn't let in bugs & viruses, no pop-ups... everything IE wishes it was! Internet Explorer is fucking crap! But what else can you expect from MicroSHIT?

Speaking of MicroSHIT, why pay a couple hundred dollars for their bug-laden crap when you can get all the same stuff for FREE? It's just as good, but FREE, created by true geeks who care to share their knowledge in hopes of improving products & software. That's what "open source" is all about!
