Google Maps now does Montréal transit directions. Finally!
Though I wish I could tell it “don’t bother with a 3 minute bus ride; I’ll walk” or that Mont-Royal is only 7 minutes from here, not 11.
Update: ah, you sorta can do the first one by telling it to go to the métro station of your choice, not your actual destination.
a clean inbox is the sign of a sick mind
Oct 22nd
OK, on the left is my work inbox. I finally replied to everything that needed a reply, so everything there came in today, less than 3 hours ago.
Except: whoah, there are 2 messages from the future!
Oh, right, timezones. That’s not nearly as fun.
I’m also down to the last 5 messages in my personal inbox.. I’ve said I’m going to reply to all of them before, but now I mean it. I now get 2 automatic emails a week reminding me to… answer email. Yes. Progress. Maybe I’m from the future!
