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.
Lots of major ISPs block outbound TCP port 25. Don't you support Port 587 (the message submission port)?

Really?
Oh … um … looky there.
Basically, it's running a restricted version of SMTP over port 587 and from what I can find, it's only been in the last two years or so has it been widely implemented, although this is the first I've heard of it.
Interesting. Looks like I'll be reading up on this.

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.
