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.

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 [...]

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.

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.

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).

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 [...]
The Flickr tag search for Moleskine is always good for a laugh or two.
