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.

“The master then called out to three senior monks, to attend the example of the bridge builder, and to hear of the discipline of a true engineer.”

Surfing the web, I came across “The Codeless Code: Case 154 A Bridge To Nowhere”. It hit pretty hard, especially given the situation at The Corporation, despite repeated exhortions about how well things worked in the past and how not so well things are working now, they aren't going to change course—the process of the process is the process and all that.

It was the final paragraph of “A Bridge to Nowhere” where I enlightened, and laughed out loud. We'll see how long that lasts.

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.
