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.

Lost pictures

Man, am I pissed.

I'm copying the pictures I took yesterday off the digital camera:

[spc]marvin:/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100OLYMP>scp * \
	/Volumes/WORKGROUP\;LINUS/images/2006/0806/

And as I always do after transfering the images (I had assumed the pictures copied okay):

[spc]marvin:/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100OLYMP>delete *

(in this case, delete is an alias for /bin/rm and rm is an alias for echo "This command doesn't exist"—don't ask).

Only the copy didn't work out as expected (okay, who's bright idea was to include semicolons in Mac OS-X mounted volumes? Especially for those of us who like working at the command line?). I ended up with one (1) picture, named /Volumes/WORKGROUP. The last picture on the camera, which was of the cheeseburger I had yesterday after the movie (should have used cp but mistyped).

Lost: pictures of the 50s decorated Denny's. Those of Gregory, Spring, The Kids, Wlofie, some random customers at said Denny's. And two reserved spots in a parking garage protected by two of those automated arms that go up and down.

Sigh.

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, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
