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.

Москва в Бока-Ратоне

Bunny and I are sitting on the patio of Biergarten Boca Raton, listening to the live musicians as they finish playing “Starway to Heaven” and segue into “Knocking on Heaven's Door” when I spot a nearby restaurant called “Mantana.” A weird name, “Mantana.” I have to look it up and see what type of restaurant it is—

—and it's Russian!

Or rather, in Russian. I'm not surprised at a Russian restaurant; we have restaurants from all over down here in Lower Sheol. And it might (maybe) be fun to try it, as I'm not terribly familiar with Russian cuisine outside of borscht and stroganoff (is that even Russian? I don't know).

But the text—Russian text!

I can't even find a link to the menu to see what's on it.

I could call, and while I can use Google translate to ask “Какую пищу вы обслуживаете?” I'm not sure I could pronounce it!

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.
