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.

9 Jun 2005There is a slight chance that I could be going to Germany at the end of the month, so I need some help.
I am looking for reader comments/suggestion on a solid, robust, multi-country power adapter for my emergency bag (I fly off to foreign countries to solve Web performance issues almost daily — NOT!).
