Before I go

August 14, 2000 by Michael Boyle

Ooh that's hot AND spicy
I’ve been meaning to make note of a new feature in the new Eudora beta: hot and spicy filters. It (optionally, thank goodness) lets you know if you’ve included hot and/or spicy language in your posts. It’s quite ridiculous.

So I’m on vacation

August 14, 2000 by Michael Boyle

for the next week. Much needed – but not too many updates coming until next Sunday when I return. I’m headed to Minneapolis, which promises to be a grand time, due mostly to the company I’ll keep there. I leave Tuesday morning early, so I may write a bit tomorrow, but then again even for a simple week away I have lots of details to take care of during the day tomorrow:

  • return the “Being John Malkovich” DVD I rented the other night
  • go to the regie to check on a possible health card mixup
  • finish up something I’d not completed to my satisfaction at work (but I can do it here)
  • send my old video card to ATI so they can update its BIOS, which will allow me to drive my secondary monitor
  • answer a dozen emails I’ve let sit too long, plus one postcard
  • arrange for flowers to be sent for a friend’s birthday late next week
  • laundry
  • pay my car insurance
  • etc.

Not your mother’s

CBC: 120seconds.com. The requirements blurb is funny – a standard list of components you’ll need (Real 7, Flash, etc.) and then, “One final warning: we did everything we could, but the site just sucks with IE4.5 on Macs.”

Harry Potter book, but the Choose Your Own Damn Harry Potter Adventure is hilarious.
