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.
Bunny and I were walking through downtown Brevard when we came across this sign reminding us of our duty to social distance in these times of human malware:
![[A graphic showing social distancing as being the size of a bear.] Do NOT offer the bear a Coke. This is only effective against polar bears. Also, I don't have to out run the bear, I just have to offer YOU to the bear.](/2021/11/04/SocialBearDistance.jpg "Do NOT offer the bear a Coke. This is only effective against polar bears. Also, I don't have to out run the bear, I just have to offer YOU to the bear.")
Also handy to keep in mind: how to survive a bear attack.

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.
