Interesting development

February 6, 2001 by Michael Boyle

in Michael World. I have a promising interview next week for a job I’ll take if it’s offered to me. It’s still a web-centered job, but it’s on the other side of the table – not for a vendor (a web shop, an interactive agency, a dot-com, etc.) but for a purchaser of web services. It’s an appealing thought in that it will likely be a bit more stable than your average dot-com. And better managed as well, I bet.

Meanwhile, I’ve been furiously working on three sites simultaneously plus a possible redesign of this site to mark its first anniversary, which is on the 13th of February. February also marks the 6th anniversary of the launch of my first ever personal site, which (unfortunately, though it was an abomination) is completely lost now.

I’m a sucker for surveys

February 6, 2001 by Michael Boyle

Very very modern
like the one Heather wrote about today from Environics, a leading Canadian polling company. The online survey allows you to place yourself among the groups they identified following the analysis of the poll they did on the subject. I’m between “New Aquarian” (unfortunate name) and “Autonomous Rebel” and, as you can see, very very modern. Yup.

Long live Pine, long live Eudora: Friends Don’t E-Mail Friends HTML [again from Wired News]. Or, as Cam Barrett put it, “HTML-Email Sucks Bad, Really It Sucks Bad, So Stop Using It Already.”

Look, look

February 5, 2001 by Michael Boyle

it’s another Montrealer who keeps a site like this one. luke.andrews.net, the weblog of Luke Andrews, who evidently does web work at Concordia, one of the universities I’ve attended. He wrote about the newly-launched Concordia site the other day, lamenting the “grand messy affair of interlinking files that reference each other”. If he only knew! I was tangentially involved with Concordia’s web development back in 95-96, when their grand plan was to give every department – not faculty, department – its own Mac with StarNine’s web server software on it – and each one was to develop its own site. Madness.
