CANOE redesigns

CANOE launched a redesign sometime in the last few hours. It's jarring going to a site that you visit 5 times a day and seeing something completely different.

Kinda like expecting Coca-Cola and getting Root Beer.

The Ad Banner is Dead

The Ad Banner is Dead! Long Live the Ad Banner!

It seems like the number of popup-window ads that hit my screen is doubling every day. I'm not sure what I find more annoying yet, ads that popup when I go to a site, or when I leave it.

We've gotta pay for all this crap somehow, right?

(Yes Wes, micropayments are the way it should be... :-))

Virtual PC 3.0 with Windows 2000

(This message posted from IE running in Windows 2000 running in Virtual PC 3.0 on my PowerBook.)

Now that I have Windows 2000 on my laptop, I can work anywhere. I can't wait to get everything I need installed so I'm finally mobile.

RE: Poll, Should Jim to to MacWorld?

I don't think I'll be going to MacWorld SF this year, even though I really want to. There are a number of boring reasons that I'll spare you from reading. I have until tomorrow to make a final decision, but I don't think it will change between now and then.

Thank you to everyone that participated in Friday's poll. It really did help!

Snowing...

It's currently snowing (heavily) in Victoria. I imagine there's going to be quite a lot of it on the ground by morning.

Now would be the time to take advantage of the situation and get Cyan out in the snow like I mentioned I was hoping to do with her this year. As fate would have it, she has a nasty cold right now.

Sigh.
