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.

Notes on an overheard conversation outside a used book and compact disc store

“Are all the CDs like this?”

“Yup. All ten boxes.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“I've seen a lot of CD collections in my life … ”

“Yes?”

“And I've seen some really bad collections … ”

“And?”

“This collection has to be the single worst collection of CDs I've ever come across. It's like these were given out for free. I'm not sure who would buy this crap.”

“That bad, huh?”

Music for Aromatherapy?

“Erm … um … ”

“I might have to charge you just on principle.”

“You wouldn't happen to have a dumpster, would you?”

“Oh Hell no!”

”Sigh.”

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.
