What is

June 5, 2001 by Michael Boyle

Blink.com and why does their popup keep, well, popping up? Hmmm.

I just came across

tvgohome for the first time tonight. As a friend described it, “As Monty Python is to the Smothers Brothers, tvgohome is to The Onion“.

The FAQ has a particularly funny bit: “Why use a JPEG for the listings instead of text?

Because I want precise control over the layout. And because it seriously annoys “real ale” Internet users who do all their browsing on text-based hand-held calculators, and that arouses me.”

Although the apartment

June 4, 2001 by Michael Boyle

I’ve been in for the past year is mine (not a shared situation), for the past year I had a semi-roommate, who lived in Ottawa but came back to Montreal every weekend or second weekend. It was a pretty good deal all around – a deal that ended this past weekend. I didn’t need the money or anything, so it’s no problem to lose it – and now I have the enjoyable situation of having a completely empty room to figure out what to do with! Do I move my office there, and use my current office as a permanent dining room? Do I buy a new couch and put my convertable futon thingie back there so it can serve as a guest room? Do I just use it for storage?

Damn, the possibilities are endless. And considering them makes me feel quite, ah, old.

It’s a rare thing,

June 4, 2001 by Michael Boyle

I think, to have the opportunity to see friends captured both recently and 15 years earlier! High potential for hilarity and general (friendly) mocking, I think. It seems that I’m going to have that opportunity on June 20 when Who’s Dancin’ Now? airs on PBS, featuring a friend and former colleague who, well, we like to lovingly mock anyhow.
