Okay, now this is odd.
About half a dozen people get notified via email when I post here (it's
a feature I dropped three years
ago) and I noticed that just now, notifications to AOL are bouncing, not
because AOL is rejecting my email (a typical occurance) but … well
…
<XXXXXXXXXX@aol.com>: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=aol.com type=A: Host found but no data record of requested type
A few checks, and yes, AOL has no way of receiving email from the
outside world at this time.
Could this be the actual end of the Eternal September?
(sorry Dad) Or is this just a momentary glitch where heads might end up
rolling?
Update a few hours later …
It seems that AOL got its act together and fixed the MX problem. Alas, the Eternal September
continues …
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
