                   And then a long digression about hypertext
                                        
I'm still thinking about how I want to organize all this, as well as how to
reference everything. One idea for the URL space I came up with is

http://boston.conman.org/log/1999.12.12

would retrieve all the (currently written) parts for that day. To reference a
particular part, then:

http://boston.conman.org/log/1999.12.12.2

would only retrieve that part (in this case, what you are reading right now).
By that logic (and following the logic used by my Electric King James [1] and
by now I'm sure your tired of hearing about it) then:

http://boston.conman.org/log/1999.12

would retrieve the entire month of December, 1999. Most weblogs/journals
though, would react differently; something like (using what I have so far,
excluding today):

November, 1999	December, 1999	January, 2000 [2]

4^th… Saturday [3] 	Sailing the Corporate Seas [4] 	5^th… Sunday [5] 	“How much for just the student?” [6] 
6^th… Monday [7] 	It's just a question of focus [8]… SimplyPorn [9] 	7^th… Tuesday [10] 	A Real Conspriacy? [11]… A sound legacy [12] 
8^th… Wednesday [13] 	Fastest Proprietary 80x86 Based Operating System [14]… Exclusion [15] 	9^th… Thursday [16] 	“The politics are so fierce precisely because the stakes are so low.” [17]… Surreal upgrades [18]… I'd hate to think what it would do on a corrupted system. [19]… Inbloodysane [20] 
10^th… Friday [21] 	A License to License [22]… Hypertext, weblogs and journals [23]… “I can crack this! Or rather, fix it!” [24]… Convolution [25]… “Do not fold, spindle or mutilate …” [26]… The other WEB [27] 	11^th… Saturday [28] 	Mapping the Corporate Sea [29]… Reorg [30]… Shut up, Mark [31]… 2b|~2b [32] 

(Whew! Did that by hand) But this breaks what I did for the Bible. If you
request Genesis [33], you get the entire book, not:

Genesis

Chapter 1 [34]
 Chapter 2 [35]
 Chapter 3 [36]
 Chapter 4 [37]
 Chapter 5 [38]
 Chapter 6 [39]
 Chapter 7 [40]
 .
 .
 .
 

and so on. You get that at some of the other online Bibles, which is what I
wanted to avoid. But in retrieving the entire month, you'll get a large
document (so far, it's 38,196 bytes for the entries from the 4^th to the
11^th).

But I'm leaning towards doing that. If you want it, you'll get it.

Update on Sunday, August 25^th, 2002

Originally, I had intended the archive section to appear under something
like:

http://boston.conman.org/log/

But I never did it that way; yet the links in this entry were originally
written with that in mind, and the various web robots where sending requests
for the pages, which didn't exist (of course).

So I fixed the links themselves in this entry.
