Montreal weblog note:

January 26, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Montreal weblog note:

Ed Bilodeau has, yet again, quit his weblog, this time the one called “Shoulder to the Wheel“. And, yet again, it’s too bad. He had, in this last incarnation, amassed a very nice source of information on various advanced topics in information management (etc.) that, unfortunately, others will no longer be able to consult.

I’ve been meaning to link to

January 26, 2004 by Michael Boyle

I’ve been meaning to link to

the Zeke’s Gallery weblog for ages, since Chris let me know about it in the fall. For whatever reason I only made it to his site the other day, and noted that, as expected, Chris is completely and totally suited to the blogging form. His posts are quite long, but they are original and opinionated, as is Chris himself in everything he does. Definitely a blog to watch in Montreal.

Documentary evidence

January 26, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Documentary evidence

of the insanity of the Montreal real estate market. The house I rented for 4 years in the mid-to-late-90s is for sale now – listed at $269K!

In Montreal, if you’re lucky and do your research, you can still get a hell of a lot of house for that kind of money. This particular house, however, is a real dump and unless a lot more work was done than can be seen from the photos published in MLS, it is worth not even half what they’re asking for it. Moreover, I know for a fact that it was sold to the current owner just 18 months ago for $110K.The place was very economical as a $700/month rental that you could share with three roommates. That’s a far cry from what they’re asking now though.

Incidentally, this is where my first mirror photo was snapped, a couple of months before I moved out.

The New Hampshire primary

January 26, 2004 by Michael Boyle

The New Hampshire primary

goes tomorrow night and should prove to be extremely interesting, particularly since the results in Iowa. I wasn’t arround to comment on all of that news, but Steven Johnson has done a pretty good job of summing it up.
