27 Apr 2006As many of you know, I inherited an old, very well-used T-Mobile Treo 600 a couple of weeks ago. Well, I have become acutely aware of people who have them, much like suddenly noticing pregnant women when your wife is pregnant.
Today, I am on-site at a large client in the Philadelphia area, and the office [...]

10 Feb 2006If you are wondering about the picture at the top of this page (sorry for you folks in RSS readers, gotta head to the blog to see it), I can tell you one thing.
It is real.

I grew up in the shadow if this mountain called, oddly enough, Mount Seven. The [...]
Ok, if there is an issue with GrabPERF or any of the other services on this server this weekend, it is unlikely that I will be able to fix it.

I will try and check mail once a [...]

8 Nov 2005The second measurement agent is now up and running on Ubuntu!
And the happy news is that it is reporting CONNECTION ERRORS!
Well, ok, not so good news for those of you who are getting them. On the other hand, a gap in the measurement data should indicate a serious problem now.

17 Oct 2005I have permanently blacklisted all of people making comments from blogspot.com — it appears that Google’s little nightmare is getting worse.

14 Sep 2005Over the last two days I have been trying to optimize the performance of the Index Charts/Graphs. I think I have found the fix, and you should see results for these charts in the sub 1-second range.
To explain how this works, I have to open up the GrabPERF data model and let you folks peer [...]

26 Jul 2005Effective immediately, The Newest Industry is on hiatus.
Most readers are not aware that for most of my life, I have fought a constant battle with depression. Thankfully, my symptoms can be effectively moderated and controlled through medication…most of the time.
Right now, for a variety of reasons I am not comfortable getting into, I am [...]
