In: GrabPERF
29 May 2009There will be GrabPERF downtime on May 29-30 2009 as Technorati completes its colocation relocation process. [here] There is no set time for the outage or its length, as the machines have to be physically relocated to the new datacenter, and then integrated into the new network configuration.
I will be contacting the agent locations in [...]

GrabPERF Search Index – March 13-19 2009
In: Internet| Web Performance| Web analytics| WebPerformance.Org| analytics| performance index| search
20 Mar 2009About four years ago, I published/posted a number of indices related to GrabPERF data. This is a re-launch of that, starting with the GrabPERF Search Performance Index.
The methodology of the Search Performance Index is straightforward: A number of key search providers are selected and HTTP GET requests are sent that directly pull the results page [...]

Performance Alerting: Is Louis Gray the Canary in Your Coal Mine?
In: The Web| Web Performance| WebPerformance.Org| branding| reputation
10 Oct 2008Yesterday in the Fast Company Live Fail Whale session [mention on Scoble's blog here], Paul Bucheit of FriendFeed jokingly said that his company’s external alerting mechanism was Louis Gray.
I cringed when I read that, as the last people who should be letting you know you have an issue are your visitors or customers. I know [...]

In: GrabPERF
9 Aug 2008Between August 08 2008 18:00GMT and August 09 2008 03:00GMT, GrabPERF had a network-related outage at the hosting facility.
Many thanks to the Technorati team for working hard to resolve this complex issue, which eventually turned out to be a loose fiber-cable.
Data from the time period has been cut, so no one’s stats should be affected.
I [...]

9 Mar 2008You hear a song off Bob Mould’s album Workbook used in a TIAA-CREF commercial.

Many, many years ago, I started my depressing voyage through the world of work at an Overwaitea food store in my home town. As a teenager, I expected to work so weird hours, and accept some level of abuse from the “adults” I worked with.
However, it seems that the organization now expects all their employees [...]
