The Boston Diaries

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”

Go figure.

It isn't SoBig after all …

Everybody I know has received at least a thousand copies of the SoBig.F virus email and yet, what do I get?

From: “John Llamas” <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX>
To: <sean@conman.org>
Subject: I am seeking a reputable vendor of inflatable sheep …
Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2003 23:36:29 -0700

Hello

I am a “generously proportioned” male (375 pounds) with a less than generous penile length (4 inches erect). I seek a vendor of quality inflatable sheep who can give away free samples as I am unemployed.

Best regards

John Llamas

Um … yea.

Not quite so big there, huh?

I will certainly say that at the very least, I get entertaining spam. Almost makes up for the seven Nigerian scams I received this week.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.

It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
