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.

This day in history

Interesting! Not only is today the birthday of the Supreme Commander of the cleanest race on the planet, the Sagacious Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kim Jong Un, but it is also the feast day of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, the day a UFO landing left phystical evidence (France, 1981), and the only time in the history of the United States our debt was fully paid off (back in 1835!).


I'm enjoying a lovely cup of tea

[Loose-leaf tea, baby!]

For some strange reason (I doubt it's to celebrate Kim Jong Un's birthday) I received a beautiful tea mug with infuser, and several ounces of Golden Monkey tea, which is quite good.

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.
