…and get it out of my head!
I just listened to the original of Bootylicious [sample on Amazon]. Trust me…this re-mix takes the lyrics to the place they should have gone in the first place.

How much of your bandwidth does RSS consume?
Yesterday I was on a call with a customer who flat out stated that 55% of their bandwidth was consumed by applications pulling RSS feeds.
Does your company have a grip on just how much continual background noise RSS feeds inflict on your Web servers?

Stupid Mastiff! Take me on will he?
I like this. Underdog wins again.
GrabPERF 2.50 Enhancements and Improvements
I am starting to lay out the new items that I will be rolling into GrabPERF 2.50, set for release in April. Already some friends of GrabPERF have weighed in with their desires, and some of them are easy to do, others require a whole new learning curve for me to get ramped into.
What I need from all the folks who use the system right now are the things that make you nuts. What don’t you like about:
- Graphing
- Data Presentation
- Workflow
- Available Statistics
This is your time to speak up because you use GrabPERF far more than I do. And without feedback, I just write in the stuff that is interesting to me.
Looking forward to the give-and-take.

Two Fisher Space Pens — GONE!
Last spring I bought two Fisher Space pens: one matte black; and one shiny purple.
Yesterday, I lost the last one, the black one.
Back to the Pilot G2s. Don’t feel so bad losing those.

GrabPERF Quarterly Pledge Drive
Time for me to launch the GrabPERF Quarterly Pledge Drive.
This is the part I hate. As I have noted in the past, I can’t charge for GrabPERF in any sort of traditional business sense. But I am also not doing this for a pat on the back.
As always, any donation, no matter how small, is appreciated.
I am also looking to add to my corporate spnsors list, so if you or your company is interested in achieving this much sought after position, drop me a note.

TailRank: Happy Monday the 13th
Kevin Burton of TailRank dropped me a great note last night and asked me to add his site to GrabPERF.
Ouch.
He did have a lot of great ideas about extending GrabPERF capabilities, and I will be putting those up in a post later today.
UPDATE: TailRank came back at around 14:00 GMT (09:00 EST).

Canadian Olympic Committee — Go back to Roots
In the past, I have lined up to buy Canadian Olympic team goods from Roots. Good quality, and just generally cool and useful stuff.
This year, HBC (the Hudson’s Bay Company) is doing Canadian Olympic apparel.
This is like grandma dressing a teenager.
I am so disappointed. What was the COC thinking?
