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 about locking the keys in the car

“Finally! I'm home!”

“Yes you are!”

“And you didn't answer your phone.”

“You didn't call!”

“Yes I did.”

“Oh! I see I did receive a call, but it was from a number not on my contact list. You know I don't answer those.”

“I was hoping you'd make an exception.”

“It's hard to make an exception when I don't know who is calling.”

“Sigh. I locked my keys in my car, and I had to walk home from Panera Bread.”

“Oh dear … ”

“Now I have to locate my spare key.”

“Oh, you mean this key.”

“Yes. Could you please drive me to my car now?”

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.
