A while back, I posted a note that the Tag search app at Technorati was behaving in a manner that did not match the performance of the rest of their products. [here]
The Technorati team followed up with me today and asked if I had seen any improvement.
Ummm…yeah. Just a little.
Again…wow.
UPDATE: And Technorati just told me that they started using HTTP Compression.

I will be in DC/Baltimore on Thursday and Friday on business. No time for a meetup, but if anything weird happens with GrabPERF or the server, I will get to it as soon as I can.
This is shocking!
I am appalled! I don’t believe that Jean Chretien could have committed such an act! The man had an unblemished….
errr, nearly spotless…
ok, a little tarnish here and there…
…ummm, where did put my handcuffs again?
Keeping tabs on the news from home, it appears that our nation has condemned many communities of the First Peoples to communities with water not fit for any living thing. [here and here]
Canada is consistently rated one of the best countries in the world to live in. But how can this tragedy be allowed to continue? How can a developed nation, holding huge reserves of the world’s water supply, poison it’s own First Peoples with the basis of life?
Canada likes to see itself as morally superior to the United States. But allowing the systemic racism embedded in the culture of leadership to doom a generation of the most valuable (and undervalued) people in our country to disease and poverty is a shame that needs to be exposed.
The cover needs to be taken off this pot; and like Katrina, the boiling mess underneath will show the true face of the nation.

Dave Winer’s blog — ok, one of Dave Winer’s blogs — is currently throwing 500 Internal Server Error errors.
UPDATE: He’s back!
This makes me sad.
A South Caroline businessman is making an attempt to purchase the Hudson’s Bay Company. [here]
The company, lovingly referred to as the Bay, was incorporated in 1670 and once owned more real estate in North America, in fact “all the land in the Hudson Bay watershed – a mass that amounts to about a third of present-day Canada.” [here]
The HBC is the early history of Canada. Without their greed and ingenuity, Canada would never have grown beyond the Valley of the St. Lawrence.
Perhaps this is the revenge for War of 1812.

At 2AM EDT Oct 30, 2005, it will become 1AM EST Oct 30, 2005. This shift will take us from GMT -4 to GMT -5.
As always, hang onto your hats, as I have no idea how the time change will affect the graphing in GrabPERF. My theory is that there should be double measurements for the 1 AM hour, and the hourly rollup will fail, as there will already be an entry for the time period.
I could write an exception for this twice yearly foobar, but let’s just say this update is scraping the bottom of the GrabPERF punch-list.
At least I don’t have this problem.
