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.

Just an observation, nothing more

As I've been cleaning up blog entries (the first few years also have some pretty bad formatting issues) I've noticed something—I used to write a lot more back then. I think part of that is that the whole “blogging” thing was new, and after twenty-plus years, I've covered quite a bit of material. There have been multiple instances where I come across somthing, think I should blog about that, and when I check to see if I have, indeed blogged about that, I already have. Also, it's a bit more of a pain these days as I manually add links to my blogs at Me­Linked­Insta­My­Face­In­Gram­Space­Book­We. This used to be automated in the past, but Insta­My­Face­Me­Linked­We­In­Gram­Space­Book doesn't play well with others and with constant API updates and walled garden policies, it's sadly, easier to manually update links than it is to automate it (also this chart). I mean, I don't have to update links at My­Face­Me­Linked­Insta­In­Gram­Space­Book­We, but pretty much everybody just reads Me­Linked­Insta­My­Face­We­In­Gram­Space­Book (Web? What's that?) which is why I bother at all.

Obligatory Miscellaneous

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, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
