On the road again

Turns out that Sketch Up 7 will run in Wine, which makes me pretty happy. Now I can learn it, use it to model the photo project, maybe even get good enough to teach it next year. And I still don't need Windows.

Only got as far as getting it installed and the registry keys changed so it wouldn't crash on start up last night. Tonight will be going through tutorials. It seems like a lot of effort for accomplishing a short term goal (model a box), but I really really really did not like the technical drawing class I took as an undergrad. This way, I get to put the image in my head on to a screen and tweak away until I'm happy. Ctrl-Z is way better than any eraser.
