Over the past few hours I've been working on the navigation code for this
blog. And it isn't easy. I decided to forgoe adding navigation to the main
page (while it's easy enough to find the previous seven days worth of
entries, I don't think it's quite worth it yet to calculate the previous
seven days entries but that may change) or to arbitrary ranges (that was
hard enough to get right, and I still think there might be bugs in that
code—not show stopping bugs, but there are probably some marginal cases
where the code doesn't display what I think it should). I'm only
handling the simple queries that bring back either a year's worth, month's
worth, day's worth or the previous/next entry. Just to calculate the
previous entry is a hundred lines of code. I could probably tighten that up
a bit, but I'm still getting a handle on this, so I'll keep it verbose for
now.
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.
