Around three months ago, I found a
bug in Lua (and yes, it's silly to run an 80M script, but then, I tend to do silly things
with programs). I reported the error to the Lua mailing list, and a few
days later it was posted as a known bug
with a one line patch to fix it.
And yes, I just got around to retesting Lua (with a version that
has every patch applied, including the patch for the bug I found) with my
80M script:
[spc]lucy:/tmp/lua>time lua -i show.lua
Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> dofile("default.lua")
> os.exit()

Much better.
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.
