Three years ago I did a Stupid
Twitter Trick and it ran fine up until, until Twitter changed how third party
applications can access Twitter. Then it went, well, not dark, but it
wasn't exacty updating either.
Until this weekend. In fact, it wasn't that hard to
update; perhaps an hour or so of work.
But three years though … perhaps I should come up with some other
Stupid Twitter Trick to do; my quote file is running out of quotes.
I'm working on some code to manipulate quote files (a simple text file
filled with various quotes from people). It's not working—it either
crashes or corrupts the output.
And it's the same quote each time—“There are only two hard problems in
Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one
errors.”
The problem—an “off-by-one” error.
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.
