The Boston Diaries

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”

Go figure.

Clarification

I should probably clarify a point from my last entry: I did hire a handy man but he had to attend to a family emergency in Pensylvania for a few weeks so he wasn't able to finish everything. I can settle the outstanding bill with him (or his assistant) and have the realtor send hers over to finish the job.

Now, I'm awashed in paper, going through my files tracking information down (and cleaning out my files) in preparation of selling Condo Conner.

Maybe in another thirty years …

While cleaning out my files I came across some movie promotional buttons from 1992. Specifically, quite a few from Batman Returns and one or two from Alien3. It was (and I guess still is) movie memorabilia and it's been ten years now; hey! They might be worth something!

I check Ebay and see what they may be going for nowadays.

$2.00

Only one Batman Returns button listed, and it's going for $2.00.

I didn't find any listings for the Alien3 buttons on Ebay.

Sigh.

Anyone care to buy a “Penguin for Mayor” button?

The computer that refuses to die

Must be something in the air.

First, my friend Ken sent me the following email:

Wow … I didn't know people even still used Amigas!

And then I get a call from Rob saying he's got a line some Amiga stuff (which I had to decline, since I don't have the space for it right now).

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:

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.
