24 Oct 2005Normally when I discuss the performance of a page I am measuring using GrabPERF, it’s either good news (“you just got 5 times faster!”) or bad news (“your page hasn’t loaded in 6 months; you still there?”).
Today, something a little different: a question. What’s the question?
Why is the performance of a Technorati Blog (aka Traditional) [...]

7 Oct 2005UPDATE: Geek News Central sees it another way. They see Cogent as hitching a free ride and getting thrown off the bus finally. Either way, the bacbone providers are about to realize that they aren’t the ones with power anymore.
The lawsuits from this should be interesting, and are likely going to expose many of the [...]

I still consider that the greatest compliment that I have ever received.

30 Apr 2005The last time I attempted to compile mod_gzip into Apache, I found that the instructions for doing so were not documented clearly on the project page. After a couple of failed attempts, I finally found the instructions buried at the end of the ChangeLog document.

26 Apr 2005I’m with Dave Winer on this concept…UGH!
Just remember: My thoughts and opinions can be bought for the low price of a 17″ Powerbook.
Roland thinks this will fade away…
