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.

I have listed products to offer?

Really? [Yes, your Amazon affiliate links. –Editor]

Oh, yeah.

But that aside, what's the angle here? I mean, random spamming of companies looking to buy unspecified items? Um … perhaps inserting themselves as middle men, advertising your products as theirs, passing on the orders they get to you to fulfill, and charging their “customers” more money?

Perhaps?

Either that, or Mr. Allen is really desperate for money.

And assuming he is, Mr. Allen, here are my answers:

  1. FOB EXW Boca Raton (Incoterms 2010).
  2. Cash up front, no credit. Payable as US dollars or an equivalent amount in gold or silver.
  3. Please allow four to six weeks for delivery.
  4. We don't talk about Flight Club (think happy thoughts—I'm expecting only four people to get this).
  5. Um, what part of “Please allow four to six weeks for delivery” did you not understand?

That should work.

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.
