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.

There are only two certainties in life; this post is about one of them, and it's not death

Last night I was busy with cleaning up my past blog entries when I happened to notice the date—April 15th. And then I suddenly remembers—I need to do my taxes! Well, as I found out later, I have until the 18th to file, but I always feel better if I'm able to get them filed by … well, technically, today.

Fortunately, my taxes aren't that hard and it only took about half an hour for me to fill out the 1040 form (I'm not a fan of electronic filing, but that's only because I know how the electronic sausage is made), take the form to the post office and have it hand cancelled by the post master (okay, that last bit was done by Bunny since she was out running errands at the time).

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.
