About that frame …
I gave it some thought, and the best and quickest way I can see making a
frame is to somehow get all four pieces together into a single block that
can be cut at once. If there was only some way of strapping the four pieces
together …
Well yes, blue masking tape will work just fine to hold the
pieces together while we cut the ends …
Of course, it's still not quite that simple, because you have to
make sure the blade is at a precise 45° angle, and that took a few tries
to pin down, so to speak.
Granted, the frame is now a few inches shorter than originally, but hey,
not as misaligned as previously.
If only I had thought of doing that first …
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.
