My wife and I will be in Boston a day early (Friday). Does anyone
have a "must-see" touristy suggestion for us?

Things I really enjoy in Boston:
- The Museum of Fine Arts, right across the street from Northeastern
- The Freedom Trail, a self-guided walking tour of many historic Boston sights
This goes through the North End, which is a nice place to walk
around all on its own.
- The Boston Harbor Islands (
+1 to all of Sam's suggestions.
I'd also add the waterfront as being a nice area (relatively new to
Boston). If you head to the water from Quincy Market, there's the
Aquarium. Then you can turn right and walk along the water through
Rowes Wharf and to the old rotating bridge that's pedestrian only
p.s. The walk I described is mostly parallel to the Rose Kennedy
Greenway that Sam mentioned, just a block apart, so you could head out
one way and back the other.

Sorry if I am rising a false alarm. I noticed that there is a massive
download of my package
called bystroTeX :
http://planet.racket-lang.org/display.ss?package=bystroTeX.plt&owner=amkhlv
All the downloads are of the (old) version 1.6
What is going on?
Is it possible to figure out who downloads it
I don't think that the planet server itself doesn't keep enough information
to say much about this, but the requests come via apache so there might be
more information in a log file at that level that Eli might be able to tell
us about.
I do see lots of requests coming in for packages, tho. In add
I just looked into that, and it seems that there's something bad going
on with some machine at BYU which started yesterday. (Ping: Jay.)
The offending traffic comes from "fltr5.byu.edu", at a very high rate.
The new log file for the week had started at 2013-09-22 03:40 local
time (about 12.5 hour
Update: bringing it down for a few minutes didn't help, and the
offending process continues its merciless traffic. I've added a
temporary rule that effectively blacklists planet access from that IP
address. (Apologies in case that's a shared machine.) All I see now,
are failed attempts to get "/
(Note that instead of the apache rule I now switched to a firewall
rule, so it won't even get 403 responses now.)

Next time, feel free to follow the directions on
internal.racket-lang.org. Now that you've turn off its access, rather
than just logging in and killing it, I can't test and see what the
underlying problem was. Let me know when you have turn traffic back
on.

It is like he is trying to justify his existence while he is on his way out
the door which seems strange. IIUC, we cannot afford $80/90k or whatever it
was he costs anyway.
So I have no idea what to think about his message.

Eli: I'm sorry. I (obviously) didn't mean to send this message publicly and
it was also definitely sent in frustration (in lots of directions, not only
yours).
My apologies.

I have no practical way to know whether it's actually one of your
machines. (I did check that it's not an IP that is in our DNS.)

Eli:
Apologies for this exchange. Someone who volunteers his time to monitor our
machines and fix them up doesn't deserve any kind of yelling and other crap
that showed up in this thread. Your help is very much appreciated not to speak
of the tons of work from the past.
Again, apologies fro

Is this the package server?? The IP I have for that is
128.187.105.226, which is different from the IP

One last self-reply for future readers who may judge Eli more by this one
interaction than his body of work, let me also add that Eli has been a huge
part of whatever success we've had with Racket. He positive influence
cannot be overstated.
Sorry again for being a jerk, Eli.
