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.

Hi, I just read your post on your site about the domain name guy. I did a search for domainguardsystem.com because I has just received the same email from him, only of course a different domain. When I checked on the .com domain of the .org that I used to own, it was available also. This silly person is trying to sell domains he does not own for a huge markup. You can buy the name with GoDaddy for $7.69 using a discount code and probably cheaper at other places, and he wants to sell names he does not own for $99!! Unreal … At any rate, I am glad you posted about it. He only bought his domain in October, so he is fairly new at this and seems to be targeting the owners of dot orgs right now.

Glad I could help, Cindy (and it seems that Cindy blogged about domainguardsystem.com as well).

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.
