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.

The Proto-Company Blog

When I wrote about the posibility of doing a company blog, Spring wrote (in a locked journal entry, so that's why there's no link here):

… though how on earth you're going to do the company blog is what I am wondering. I don't think you're the man for that job, not due to any inadequacy, but due to area of focus. I just don't see you getting that excited about the sorts of things that should be in a blog like that.

But in discussing this with Smirk, about 70% of what I write (as he said, probably taking about 70% of what I mention about The Company) is fine for The Company Blog, but that I would need to steer clear from certain topics (like complaining about customers) that really, I have no problem with. Also, the direction I'm thinking of going with The Company Blog is a “behind the scenes” type of blog, where I describe what goes on at a web hosting company, how this whole Intarweb thang works, stuff like that, with the hope that it'll give people a realistic expectation of what they can expect from a web hosting company.

I have a prototype up and running but there are still broken links, pages not finished, and I'm still playing around with the layout and even the name of the blog. If you are interested in seeing this prototype and giving me some feedback (and even a potential name) just send me an email and I'll reply with the link back to The Company Blog.

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.
