So we have this new project at work,
ERAS.
It's an ETLA that stands for “ECID ReST API Service,”
which itself contains a few ETLAs that,
when fully expanded,
becomes “Enhanced Caller Identification Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface Service.”
If you have to ask,
it's not worth knowing,
and if you don't have to ask,
I'm sorry.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
“What was that term you just used?”
“What? TLA?”
“Yes. What does it mean?”
“It's a ‘Three Letter Acronym.’”
“Yes, but what does it mean?”
“A ‘Three Letter Acronym.’”
“… and it means … ?”
“…”
“…”
“Tee—three, el—letter, ay—acronym.”
“But what does … oooooooh!”
“Thank God I didn't mention ETLA …”
“What?”
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.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
