Mark sent me a
link to TechCenter
051, a facility used by IBM and located in Boca Raton, Florida.
You have to check out the video about TechCenter 051. The beginning comes
across like a documentary for the NSA—IBM used this
facility for back ops and top secret projects for both commercial and
government use. The whole tone comes across as the business equivilent of
Area 51 (I wonder if there is a connection? Hmmmmm … ) but once the tone
changes, it becomes just another generic infomercial (although the building
has redundant SONET rings and redundant power generators. It is an
impresive facility.
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.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
