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.

Burning down the house

I'm feeling much better today.

Back on Friday I first felt the inklings of a cold inching its way into my system, and I began a schedule of heavy vitamin-C and a sea of fluids, followed by heavy sleep, and that seems to have done the trick.

But it wasn't all chicken soup and tissues. On Sunday, groggy from having just gotten up (around 7:00 pm), I went to the kitchen to make some tea and soup. I turned on the wrong burner (easy enough to do) and almost burned down Casa New Jersey when a stove cover (these thin metal lids that cover stove burners when not in use) caught fire. Fortunately, Wlofie caught it in time.


Notes on the Great Stove Top Fire Incident of 2007

On second thought, maybe I'm not 100% yet. In rereading the previous entry, I realized I should have put a gonzonian fictional spin on the Great Stove Top Fire Incident of 2007.

Ah well … I'm feeling too lazy still recovering from my near death cold experience.

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.
