Spring has been
trying to get me to watch Billy Elliot since we rented
several days ago. My relunctance to watch it has a bit to do with my
relunctance to see many movies (I do have to be forced to watch certain
types of films and often times I end up liking the film but I digress) but
it has more to do with the subject matter—someone who is hiding what they
are doing from other people and the inevitable Embarrasing Scenes
that I find way to painful to watch.
“But it's got a riot in it,” said Spring.
“Yea … ”
“It's got kicking down of door,” she replied.
“Woot!”
“It's got judicious use of sledgehammers in it,” said Spring.
“Are you guys talking about Office Space?” asked Rob.
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.
