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.

Oh wait … I see now … send a completely crazy email so I'll post it

I get quite a bit of spam asking to add links to old entries. It's clear that they do a search for something like “Lost Wages” and spam the XXXX out of people who link to any page dealing with their search term. But the one I received yesterday …

Sean,

I really like the post on your site at http://boston.conman.org/2007/12/27.1

I’ve also, been writing about Shih Tzu and other small, toy or medium breed dogs and related issues like health, food etc at

The Shih Tzu Expert

http://shihtzuexpert.com/canine-distemper/

I would love the chance to write a unique and an interesting guest post for your blog.

I can write about any topic related to pets.

Our articles are 700+ words, written by native English speakers/writers.

Our content is unique, fresh, detailed, and thoroughly researched.

If it covers medical issues or advice, we always require our in house veterinarian to check accuracy of facts before publication.

A selection of titles we are proposing

If there is any topic you want us to cover, please feel free to let us know.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Adam Conrad

Seriously … WTF?

The page Adam linked to?

Nothing to do with dogs!

I have entries where I talk about dogs. And cats. And dogs and cats. It's not like Adam lacked entries to choose from.

But nooo! Adam choose one sans dogs.

What?

Obligatory AI Disclaimer

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.
