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.

Hello Krystal.

Since you neglected to include a link (in an email sent as HTML no less!) it's hard for me judge the value Next Publisher will provide for my site, so I'm going to have to adjust my prices accordingly. My fee for both guest posts and link insertions is $10,000 (US) per. So if a guest post also includes a link insertion, that would be a total of $20,000 (US). If I'm going to be whoring selling out what Google Page Rank I have, it's going to cost.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Sean.

Okay! I'll answer your question, LinkedIn. Also, Orange Site! Orange Site! Orange Site!

Today's “you're one of the few experts invited to add this collaborative article” from LinkedIn is “How do you become a senior application developer?” My answer? Stay in a programming job for three years. Boom! You're a senior application developer. I know, I know, that's a big ask these days when everybody is jumping ship every two years. But hey, if you want to be a “senior application developer,” you got to make sacrifices.

Oh, and the title to today's post? I found out that LinkedIn really liked when I mentioned the Orange Site in the title of my post. Almost two orders of magnitude more. So I'm doing a test to see if I can game the system there.

Obligatory AI Disclaimer

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.

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.
