Just because a company is transglobal in scope doesn't mean it's the same
company
everywhere. My
friend
Mark works for
a large international company, Siemens.
Not to be confused with Siemens Stromberg Carlson, which is across the street
from him. Nor from Siemens Rolm, which, if it still exists, is down the
street from him. I don't recall exactly which Siemens he works for (and for
that matter, I doubt if Mark recalls either) but while they may be all
wholly owned subsidiaries of Siemens, they are in fact, vicious enemies that
charge each other twice as much for the same equipment their competitors
would sell them.
Why this should be remains a mystery that only PHBs can fully understand
(without their heads exploding).
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.
