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.

I've been doing this for thirteen years

As I was reading about the expression problem, I couldn't help but think it sounded very familiar. And then it hit me, I wrote about this nine years ago.

This might be another reason why I took some time off—I've already written about a lot of stuff.

Twice this year, I've wanted to write about some topic, only to find I've already written about said topic. For instance, there's this silly series about solving sudoku problems that I've written about before (seriously—I thought this was satire at first, until I realized that this was a serious article by Ron Jeffries, who is a consultant selling this programming methodology).

The second came about because of the alarm clock incident where I was reminded of this weird dream I once had.

It's sometimes hard to come up with new material.

No AI was used in the making of this site, unless otherwise noted.

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.
