In browsing the web (under Windows. Darn it, IE is faster than
Netscape, and it handles bookmarks much better) I came across a site that
decodes the :Cue:Cat bar code scanner. Since I have the scanner hooked up to the Belkin OmniView, I decided
to try it under Windows on that site.
It worked. Unlike last
time.
I then logged into the Linux box from Windows, and tried it. Again it
worked.
Then I tried from another Linux box in console mode. It worked
again.
I think the problem is that X Windows is affecting or misinterpreting the
keyboard scan codes, causing problems with the :Cue:Cat. But it's nice to
know it works.
Just not under X Windows.
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.
