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.

Not that it might help all that much

I suddenly realized something. About two and a half years ago I made a change to the way robots can index my site and as a result, the main page (the one you get to when you go to http://boston.conman.org/) should not be indexed at all (but links followed).

This probably had an effect on the ads Google AdSense served up for that page (or any other page that had more than one entry on it).

Hmm.

It's a quick change so that the main page is indexed, but I wonder if this will have any effect to the effectiveness of Google AdSense.

I'm guessing … no.

But I might as well try it anyway.

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.
