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.

A new project released!

I've made mention of my syslogd replacement, but since I had nothing else to do today, I buckled down, wrote (some) documentation and have now officially released syslogintr under a modified GNU GPL license.

It currently supports only Unix and UDP sockets (both unicast and multicast) under IPv4 and IPv6; is compatible with RFC-3164 (which documents current best practice and isn't a “standard” per se) but is fully scriptable with Lua. And because of that, it's probably easier to configure than rsyslogd and syslog-ng, both of which bend over backwards in trying to support, via their ever increasingly complex configuration files, all sorts of wierd logging scena—Oh! Intarwebs back up! Shiny!

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.
