Razr: MIDPSSH works just fine
In: Technology
30 May 2006Just got MIDPSSH to work on my Razr. Had to perform a few hacks to get around the T-Mobile Firewall (SSHD now listens on port 110), but there is some perverse pleasure in seeing a linux command prompt on my Razr.
Maybe I need to do some real work now.

Modding My Moto: Things to do to your Razr V3
In: GSM| Technology
30 May 2006On my trip to Europe earlier this month, I picked up a Razr V3 that had been abandoned by one of my colleagues in the UK. Sitting in a drawer, it looked so lonely and abandoned.
It probably wishes it had stayed there.
Since I got it, I have been exploring all of the sites and boards [...]
How I spent my Memorial Day
In: Life
30 May 2006Memorial Day was going to be a very quiet and relaxing day, hanging around the house, tinkering in the garden, nothing special.
Then, after cleaning up a mess in the basement, Samantha went out the basement bulkhead, and one of the doors came off it’s hinges. Which should be no surprise when they looked like this.
We [...]

Where am I?
In: Life| Technology
28 May 2006I have been recovering from travelling, working like a dog for the man, and trying to fit in some time with my family. Been a long couple of months around here, and we have to start ramping up soon for the three-week adventure back to the Homeland, aka Canada.
I have also developed a new addiction, [...]
GrabPERF: You may experience some technical difficulties.
In: GrabPERF
26 May 2006We are in the process of relocating the GrabPERF servers to new IP addresses. You may experience some weirdness as the DNS propagates, but this should die down in a couple of days.
If you do hit an issue, you can still reach the server at http://208.66.64.70/.

Rotating technology through Europe
In: Life
21 May 2006When I got to the London office, I started talking about how I had an addiction to sexy GSM phones, and showed off my collection. I then noted that the Motorola Razr seems to be a pretty hot commodity these days in London. My colleagues laughed, and one of them pulled his old Razr out [...]
Hamburg: An extra bonus night!
In: Life
19 May 2006Looks like I get an extra bonus night in Hamburg, as high winds at Heathrow have delayed a number flights and I will miss my Boston departure.
So I am back at my hotel in Hamburg.
Hamburg. Having never been to any non-english-speaking city before, I was mightily impressed by the way the people of Hamburg treated [...]
London: Some final thoughts
In: Life
17 May 2006I am at Heathrow, and my 20:10 BST flight has become a 22:55 BST flight, meaning I will get into Hamburg at around 01:00 CEST tomorrow.
Gives me some time to write my final impressions of London.
London is a very busy world city. For a small town boy, I think I did remarkably well in it. [...]
GrabPERF: New measurement location added
In: GrabPERF| Web Performance
15 May 2006Today, a new measurement location was added to the GrabPERF family. The team at Blog.com have graciously provided us with a server in Germany, and that is now online as Germany Blog.com #1.
We are still looking for measurement locations in the UK (or Ireland) and Asia.

London: The animals are so sad
In: Life
14 May 2006I went to the London Zoo this morning. I shouldn’t have.
It was an old style zoo. It is clear that they are trying to refurbish some of the exhibits, but there is far too much concrete and steel to make me feel that the animals are at home.
The lowlight? A sloth bear who was trying [...]
