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 [...]
My side project, GrabPERF, is looking for a few good measurement locations.
Right now, there are only five measurement locations, two of which are in my basement, on my personal Internet connection. I am hoping, through this pledge drive, to find a number of additional locations. Areas desperately needed include:
East Coast, USA
West Coast, USA
Midwest, USA
UK
Asia-Pac
Southeast Asia
Australia [...]
Chatting with a friend in Australia, and I came up with this gem: “my code is like a tank”.
It’s slow, but built to withstand any sort of shit and abuse. I was describing the code that underlies GrabPERF. It was built to be ignored for long periods of time, performing a lot of self-maintenance.

UPDATE: Just talked to Ian Holsman in Australia. Other than some speakerphone-like reverb, it was like he was down the street. Ok, I know, I’m late to the party again; but Skype ROCKS!

17 Apr 2006Ok, I look like a refined suburban husband and father. But I grew up in a small town in the British Columbia interior.
Now, for those of you who grew up in small British Columbia towns in the 1980s, you know that the hair was Mullet-extreme, the car was a black Firebird “ThunderChicken”, and the music [...]

6 Mar 2005I made the attempt. No one can fault me for that. However, I was defeated by the twisted, anarchic madness that is the ARIN database.
A step back: I was considering refining the GrabIP database to more accurately reflect the true countries where IPs are used.
APNIC, LACNIC and AFRINIC are all sanely managed. Countries and IP [...]
