So I came across “What Colour are your bits?” for the nth time,
and I thought I might link to it,
but I want to make sure I haven't linked to it before.
So I do what I usually do and try
a Google search.
Nothing comes up.
But hold on—it's “colour,” not “color” so
let me try that and even less comes up.
By now,
I'm sure I have linked to that article before.
A somewhat-quick-but-not-entirely-quick search locally on my server revealed that yes,
I did link to that article.
Okay Google,
what gives?
You index everything pretty much instantaneously.
I use you pretty much all the time to search my blog.
And you can't find a single entry with an exact phrase?
Are you just having a bad day?
And now I'm curious—what if I tried … oh … I don't know … BING?
Well,
I didn't expect this—first result,
exactly what I wanted to find.
Well,
Google?
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.
