I just got word from Mark that I've been mentioned
in O'Reilly's HTTP: The
Definitive Guide on page 230. It's in reference to a draft proposal I
had to extend the robots exclustion
protocol (and as I see, I
really need to update the links on that page—they're all out
of date which I had to go back and fix the links since link-rot had
set in) I wrote back in 1996. I had no idea I made an O'Reilly book. And
Mark is pissed off that I made it first (well,
“pissed off” is not quite the right word—maybe “envious” is more like
it).
I get maybe one email about it every other year or so, namely asking me if I
know of any robots that implement my proposed extentions and to my knowledge
I know of none that do.
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,
