• A web-based “ERP-to-CAD” tool at synthesiscompany.com is highlighted for automatically generating AutoCAD drawings from up to 3,000–20,000 variables, illustrating an early attempt at parametric CAD automation.

• Discussion of open geometry data standards includes links to the Free and Open Geometry Data Standard wiki, the cad-linux-dev mailing list, and a Google Group thread featuring Eric Wilhelm, all aimed at creating open CAD file formats.

• Reverse-engineering efforts on AutoCAD/SolidWorks/Pro-E APIs are mentioned, with kanzure downloading ObjectARX documentation (CHM files) to understand undocumented VBA interfaces.

• A Japanese fMRI paper on reconstructing visual imagery from brain scans is shared via a local mirror (heybryan.org/~bbishop/docs/) after the original Japanese source proved unreadable.

• CloudSH.com is introduced as a command-line interface to the web; kanzure critiques it for likely relying on fragile web-scraping rather than stable WSDL/OWL interfaces.

• Graphene’s Wikipedia page is noted to still reference kanzure’s personal site among its external links, illustrating early open-science documentation efforts.
