If you’re not sure

If you’re not sure

about the Winter Olympics, Reindeer Games by Richard Libero of NHL.com is a good primer.

Good news

Good news

and odd news from Google. First the good: the Google Search Appliance. Now you can install a Google machine on your private network. I bet it’s not intended to compete with things like Documentum, but I bet it will regardless of the fact that it’s a different thing.

Also new is that www.google.com now redirects me to www.google.ca. I trust that the results of a regular search won’t be affected in any way – at least I hope not. It is a good way to gain additional revenue streams for companies targeting different markets – now they can sell the same adwords in different countries to different companies.

I returned home

February 11, 2002 by Michael Boyle

I returned home

from New York this morning following a long weekend with family and friends. Of course I spent most of my time out and about, but I am a freak for the Winter Olympics, so I tried to sneak a peek as much as I could as well. It was a big shock. I knew how crappy the NBC coverage was since I get the network at home, but in other years I didn’t have to rely on it – I could just switch to the CBC to get a real view of the Games. In NYC of course I didn’t have that option, and the shortcomings I’ve noted before about NBC’s coverage were all the more annoying.

After my class tonight

February 6, 2002 by Michael Boyle

After my class tonight

I just plain forgot about the YULbloggers meeting and drinkfest tonight. Just as well, as I’m off for a long weekend in NY tomorrow, so I had to get ready.

I’m going to NY to visit with my brother and his wife, who live there, and my mother and stepfather, who are in the city for the winter. Back on Monday – I’m probably not going to post until then.
