“What type of server is my site currently on? Because I need to use an
Access database,” said the customer.
“Well, it's currently on our Unix server,” I replied, “so we'll need
to—” KA-KRAAAAAAACK-BOOOM! “—oh holy sweet Mother of God we're all
going to die! Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” It's amazing the small amount
of space an adult human can occupy under the desk when the proper motivation
is applied.
“Sir,” said the customer, “are you okay?”
Slowly peek my head out. “Yes … just a lightning strike across the
street.”
Coincidentally enough, the customer's domain has the word “lightning”
in it.
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.
