GrabPERF – Search Performance Index
In: GrabPERF| Web Performance| search
16 Mar 2009Today I would like to announce the availability of the GrabPERF Search Performance Index.
The goal of the index is to provide performance metrics for a group of search providers around the world. The results are based on a direct HTTP GET request being made for the search results page by the GrabPERF Agent.
Currently only live [...]

Google Searches Always Bring Surprises
In: Blogging
14 Aug 2008Since November 5 2004 (Geez! Have I been blogging that long?), I have written 1,744 posts (this is 1,745). So, as you can well imagine, I can’t remember whats in most of them. I know which ones are the most popular and what’s in those, but on the whole, I couldn’t tell you what’s in [...]
So you think you’re getting a better deal…
In: Immigration
17 Dec 2007Landed in the US on a one-day business trip today. The family is enjoying Christmas with the grandparents in Victoria, BC, and I need to work remotely to cover the time.
I flew into Seattle for a one-day trip, with my brand-new Advanced Parole documents. Figured it would be speedy.
90 minutes later, they let someone who [...]

Dog Friendly Hotel: Comfort Inn — Syracuse Airport
In: Life
18 Jun 2007Ok, we are back from Wasaga Beach. We crossed the border in a ridiculously easy manner — when you have a work visa, you always expect the body-cavity search treatment — and made a run for Syracuse. We picked a hotel out of the air and lucked out with the Comfort Inn near the Syracuse [...]
One toke over the line, oh Buddha…
12 Feb 2007After suffering with some negative reactions to my medications this weekend, I decided to do some research. It took a little longer than I expected because the information is gloriously hard to find, and I was drooling like an ether fiend in a wolverine pen.
It turns out that Bupropion inhibits the effectiveness of Paroxetine and [...]

London: Back home and some travel tips
12 Nov 2006Now that I am back on US soil, I have some tips for surviving your trip to London.
GSM Phones. If you are one of the millions in the United States who subscribe to a CDMA service (Verizon, Sprint, etc.), invest a few bucks on eBay and buy a low-end, unlocked, tri-band GSM phone. I have used [...]
Moleskine: Joe Lavin Skewers the Cult of the Black Book
In: Notebook Lust
16 Aug 2006I have this search set up to deliver the things that Google’s Blogsearch finds out in the blogosphere containing Moleskine in it. Sometimes, it delivers some real gems, like Joe Lavin’s The Condensed Guide to Looking Like a Writer (found via Professor Barnhardt’s Journal).
The take-away quote from this article?
At the very least, costing $15 a [...]
Blog Search: Technorati, where art thou bot?
In: Blogging
11 Aug 2006July 25, 2006 at 19:48:24 GMT.
That’s the last time that the Technorati bot indexed my blog.
I am confused, because of all the sites out there, my blog should be pretty easy for Technorati to index — this server, as well as the GrabPERF servers is hosted in Technorati’s racks. Theoretically, the bot should be able [...]
