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.

I'm afraid Benjamin just won't be reclaiming his property any time soon

I think I have to resign myself to perpetual confusion over people not knowing their own email addresses (and I could have picked easily a dozen other posts about this). This case, it's not some other Sean Conner not knowing their own email address, or a person attempting to mail some other Sean Conner not knowing the proper email address, but a non-Sean Conner not knowing their own email address. This time it's a Benjamin who is attempting to reclaim some property while signing up for rent assistance who also has an Electronic Arts gaming account.

I suppose it could be some elaborate troll but that's quite a bit of work to set up. Maybe some sort of tactic to get me to click on some malware laden link? Whatever it is, it's just bizarre.

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.
