GrabPERF: Met with the Technorati Team
In: GrabPERF
28 Aug 2007Had an on-site meeting with Dorion Carroll and the Technorati team. We discussed some ways to extend and expand the GrabPERF infrastructure, and improve the measurement gathering.
Look for changes in the next 6 months that could radically improve the system you know and love!

IP Registry Statistics – August 2007
In: Life
22 Aug 2007My system has a daily job to collect and aggregate the IP Blocks distributed by the five registrars into a single database, and then provide high-level WHOIS information for this data. If you want to try this yourself, the interface here.
On an extremely irregular basis, I aggregate the statistics from this data, and present it [...]

State of the GrabPERF Update — August 2007
In: GrabPERF
12 Aug 2007It has been at least a year since I last updated everyone on the state of GrabPERF. That’s because for most of the last year, the system has been rolling along without a hitch or a major systemic change. The last major change to the agent code was alomost exactly a year ago, when I [...]
GrabPERF: Content! Watch your content!
In: GrabPERF
9 Aug 2007Last night, I got motivated.
Ok, I got manic. Goes with my life.
As a part of that mania, I had a breakthrough on how to present GrabPERF data that I’ve actually been collecting for nearly a year: text match failures.
GrabPERF has the ability to match text on page results using a standard PERL regex. By putting [...]
GrabPERF: Ads Gone
In: GrabPERF
7 Aug 2007As a part of the reworking of the GrabPERF code, I removed the Google ads from all pages. They were an annoyance, and displayed items were incredibly irrelevant for the site.

GrabPERF: Substantial Navigation Changes
4 Aug 2007If you use GrabPERF on a regular basis, the somewhat flaky navigation method has become second nature to you. In fact, to circumvent some of the idiosyncrasies, you have probably bookmarked your favourite pages.
Yesterday, I broke your links.
When I redesigned GrabPERF in February 2006, I had just discover the require function in PHP, and decided [...]

YSlow: Cool idea, performance inhibitor
In: GrabPERF| RANTING| Web Performance
3 Aug 2007So, a colleague of mine told me about the YSlow plugin for Firebug yesterday. I had a look at it and it does do an amazing job of analyzing Web pages according to Steve Souders performance rules.
The only hitch in the get-along: a number of pages I visited when the plugin was activated were effectively unusable [...]
