I get into work and one of the tech staff, JW, comes over, asking me to join
him on a smoke break. Even though I don't smoke, I usually join the other
techs on smoke break—I mean, why should they get all the
fun?
But I really didn't want to; I was tired and was still trying to get settled
in at work. But JW persisted and I relented.
Came back a few minutes later, finished getting settled in (which involves
signing into half a dozen different webservers to monitor the various
monitoring tools and what not) and launched an instant messaging program
(from my home computer—we're not allowed to run the AOL Instant Messaging
software from work, but there was nothing stating we couldn't run it from
home). It was then I discovered that my girlfriend Spring had just logged off
and gone to bed.
Man, what a horrible way to start the night at work.
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.
