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.

At the saltmines

Still stuck at the client site.

It's actually been a rather crazy week here at The Company, as Smirk is trying to wrap up as much as possible before a business trip next week.

Today, bonding two T1s together (to make them appear as one 3Mbps pipe instead of two 1.5Mbps pipes) and a pair of new managed switches at another company site, and then finding out their firewall is totally inadequate since it's a consumer model, not one meant to handle a 50+ computer network.

Then, on to the other client site (same as yesterday) to totally reconfigure the site network (shared among three companies—we're providing Internet access to the building they're in), which was something I wasn't expecting, and while there are no show stopping problems, it is taking longer than expected.

One of these days I'll get around to calling the Public Service Commission (perhaps unsurprisingly, it's the same circuits we were dealing with earlier this week).

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.
