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.

PEBKAC, of course

This issue with LuaRocks:

Yeah, that one. Totally my fault and nothing at all to do with LuaRocks. Between help from Ignacio Burgueño (via email) and Hisham Muhammad (via a bug report) I was able to isolate the issue to a Lua module I installed 3½ years ago that LuaRocks will use if it's installed.

The only problem—the module in question was compiled with some … um … let's say “questionable compiler options” (specified by yours truly).

Ugh.

Anyway, that issue has been resolved.

Sheesh.

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.
