Chrome v. Firefox – The Container and The Desktop
In: Browsers| Technology| The Web| Web Performance| Work
4 Sep 2008The last two days of using Chrome have had me thinking about the purpose of the Web browser in today’s world.

This paper is an extension of the work done for another article that highlighted the performance benefits of retrieving uncompressed and compressed objects directly from the origin server. I wanted to add a proxy server into the stream and determine if proxy servers helped improve the performance of object downloads, and by how much.

Enemy Alien Status: Uncertain
1 Sep 2006I just remembered something this morning. Starting October 7, 2006, I will be officially a man without a Visa. My final H1-B renewal expires on October 6, 2006, and although they have applied for an extension, and I am at some indeterminate point supposed to get a Green Card, I will be of no status [...]

Performancing Extension: Trying something new
In: Uncategorized
8 Aug 2006Since I started using the Performancing Firefox extension, it seems that Technorati takes a while to find me. FInally figured out that I haven’t enabled pings.

In: smp
30 Apr 2005Web page compression is not a new technology, but it has just recently gained higher recognition in the minds of IT administrators and managers because of the rapid ROI it generates. Compression extensions exist for most of the major Web server platforms, but in this article I will focus on the Apache and mod_gzip solution.
