Another annoying piece of news I received in snail mail is the new Florida area code of 754, which
is overlaying the area code of 954 in which I live.
What this means is that any number I now get can be in one of five (5!) area
codes—786, 305 (both Dade County, aka Miami), 954, 754 (both Broward
County, aka Ft. Lauderdale) and 561 (Palm Beach County, aka West Palm Beach,
dahlink!). The area code of my current numbers isn't changing—it's just
any new numbers assigned get assigned to the 754 area code.
And if that weren't bad enough, it now means I have to dial 10 digits for
most numbers, except those in north Broward and south Palm Beach,
until April of 2002. Then all calls to Broward will require 10
digit dialing.
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.
