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 is not the jury summons you are looking for.”

Beep boop beep boop beep boob beep beep boop boop.

Ring.

Ring.

“Welcome to the Palm Beach County Courthouse. If you are calling for jury duty, please press one—”

Beep.

“Please enter the nine digit juror number on your summons … now.”

Beep boop beep boop beep boop beep boop beep.

“You entered XXX XXXX XXX XXX XXXXX XXX XXX XXX XXX. If that was correct, press one—”

Beep.

“Please hold while I access your information … you are excused from juror duty and no further action is required from you at this time.”

Yippee!

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.
