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.

After that, John McEnroe's jackal exorcised Little Orphan Annie, then haunted himself. Poor John McEnroe! But what would you expect from a tennis-player?

My friend Sean Hoade is fascinated by The Psychotherapy of Racter and is urging me to finish the project. Wow … okay then. I worked a bit on it today, reworking things so that there's a program brokering the responses between Racter and Eliza and Racter (or rather, the version of Racter I'm using) keeps quiting. Technically, it's calling INT 20H which causes an MS-DOS program to exit back to MS-DOS, and I have no idea why. I mean, I only wrote a bailing-wire-and-chewing-gum MS-DOS emulator—that can't possibly be the problem.

Ah well … back to the psychotherapy of Racter …

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:

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.
