And now it’s 2:15

November 2, 2000 by Michael Boyle

and it’s all weird. I wasn’t at home to change my clocks, so they’re all an hour slow, and anyhow I’m 3 hrs behind due to this wonderful Canadian invention, the Time Zone. I did find it interesting to note down which websites I visited first – this being my first look at any weblogs in a few days. I looked at mostly serious issues-oriented sites first – PeterMe, Zeldman (to whom I’ve neglected to send my condolences), CamWorld, and Evhead. Next were Montrealers – Ed’s nicely redesigned Calebos.org, Aaron’s site, and David’s. Last were honourary/former Montrealer Heather’s Harrumph and Derek Powazek‘s site. And now to bed. Because I have a very big meeting tomorrow with a man who might win a Nobel Prize for medicine soon – a huge figure we’re doing some work with. Nope, not intimidated at all.

Damn – I wanted

to cut out early from work and go up to the Electronic Arts thing at the Biennale de Montreal 2000. I got an email from the nice people at Rhizome yesterday announcing that they were around at 2 this afternoon. But I’m leaving for Vancouver tomorrow and have a ton to do – so I can’t make it.

, I am now on a company’s board of directors. It’s for cam.org, a small non-profit community-oriented ISP here in Montreal, which also happens to have been the first public ISP here many years ago. Should be fun, though I should try to learn a bit more about the ISP business pretty quickly.

Much hilarity from

the government subsidy file as well. The Montreal Gazette reported today about E-Commerce grumblings, which is about how unhappy developers are at a plan to develop “E-Commerce Place” and give subsidies to businesses that locate there (there’s a Tilden car rental place in the location now, right around the corner from the Molson Center). Thing is that the business that are currently succeeding here are doing so in spite of gov’t intervention, not because of it. Plus, we already have the Cit du Multimedia.

Have I mentioned?

The new Nantha’s Kitchen website is now live and regularly updated. I used the old design, but recoded the whole thing because there was a ton of real spaghetti that slowed things down a great deal.

Nantha’s Kitchen is a restaurant here in Montreal. It’s on two levels – the ground floor is the restaurant itself and upstairs is more of a bar, with DJs and bands playing weekends.
