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.

We're not all dummies at the office

Edvard has some new friends:

[Where are we? Why is it so hot? And why are we in this basket?]

They were just hanging out in the conference room at the Ft. Lauderdale Office of the Corporation. On the up side, they're pretty quiet. On the down side, they're no showroom dummies.

Welcome back, Bunny

Because it's the anniversary of our first meeting face-to-face (Bunny and I met online), I thought I would take Bunny to Roots Italian Kitchen, the place we stumbled into on St. Valentine's Day. Fortunately for us, we were able to find parking outside the non-Euclidian, Escheresque parking garage from the 8th Dimension sitting smack-dab in downtown Boca Raton.

“Welcome back! We are so glad you have returned to dine with us!” the owner said to us as soon as we entered.

Welcome back? I'm thinking two things at the same time. One, they must not get many customers to recognize us after nine weeks. Two, they must really know how to run a restaurant.

Not only did we end up with the same waiter, he too, remembered us from nine weeks ago!

[I came close to licking the bowl clean. And this was just the salad! Yes, the food is that good. And I'm still hoping pictures of empty dinner plates becomes a thing.]

The Chef even came out and discussed the food he was about to serve us. This place is insanely good.

I'm really glad we found this place.

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.
