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's not at all like the Bonnie Situation

Just got a bit closer to resolving the email situation (yes, it's still in the process of being resolved two weeks after it started). I just now received a call from AbuseBob, who works for the Abuse Department at The Monopolistic Phone Company. Nice guy, and he confirmed that not only is the one server being blocked, but that another server our customer has has also sent spam. He would like to work with us, but we need to make sure we're filtering spam before it gets sent to The Monopolistic Phone Company email servers.

But more importantly—I have AbuseBob's phone number!

Obligatory Miscellaneous

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.
