26 February 2014

Short but sweet



Slight pick up in sales, love is in the air, check your emails, write an awesome blog post and February is as good as gone. What else can we expect from the shortest month? Joking aside, I really hope it's not just me that feels like 2014 is speeding past faster than the speed of light, and yes, I do know that this comparison has some scientific loopholes!


Over the last month we have done the rounds of the domestic trade fairs with the standout one being Bautec 2014. With over forty thousand visitors and plenty of fresh ideas it is quickly becoming a must visit event for designers and architects. "Along with building materials, construction systems and components, Bautec  showcases the future of architecture and construction planning with a focus on the following themes: energy-efficient and sustainable construction, intelligent living, reconstruction of existing buildings, noise and fire prevention, sanitary systems and building/living with renewable resources." To find out more visit the official website.

Even the big boss can't resist a chance to try out the new touch version of Palette@Home at Bautec 2014.
Next month also sees the celebration of our 20th year anniversary, and we will be celebrating in style with a two day user event in Stuttgart. We have certainly come a long way since 1994 and just thinking back of how it used to be makes me feel significantly older.

To put that into perspective for you here are some fun facts from 1994: Forest Gump, True Lies, Pulp Fiction and Lion King were all released and Friends first braced our TV screens. Aggasi and Sampras were ruling the tennis world, Euro Tunnel was opened and in the UK there were 67 mobile phones for every 1000 people (fast forward just ten years to 2004 and there were already more mobiles than people). PlayStation was introduced changing the world of gaming forever and Netscape released their first internet browser, not that any of us could actually get a chance to use it!

I am going to leave you with a request, imagine what technology will look like in 20 years time.

Greeting from Stuttgart,
Your Palette CAD-Blog Team
