If you try to access GrabPERF via http://www.grabperf.com/ or http://www.grabperf.net/, you will have noticed that you can’t reach the Web server.
The domains are being transferred to a new registrar, and the authoritative servers have not yet been set up. Just use http://www.grabperf.org/ for the next few days.
Sorry.

Got a screenshot of this before it goes away.
I think this qualifies as a classic Craigslist purchase.

I can hear the soundtrack to the early 70’s crank up on the 8-track machine in this pre-shortage gas inhaler.

This story would be funny, if it didn’t happened to be my youngest son’s birthday.

Ok, looks like the GrabPERF server was unreachable from 00:36 GMT until 01:24 GMT (20:36 EST – 21:24 EST).
This is very embarassing, as I am the one who is usually calling out folks for outages.
I will be checking with my hosting team to see what the root cause was.
Excuse me while I decide what to do about the teeth marks in my butt.
UPDATE: Just heard from my hosting provider that there was a planned outage last night. Sorry folks.

With some help from the IE7 team, I got IE7 installed. Turns out that there is a conflict between Microsoft (IE7 Beta2) and Google (Desktop Version 2). The Web history indexing performed by Google Desktop somehow conflicts with the way that IE7 Beta 2 handles Web history.
Now that it’s installed I want to try it out. But so far, nothing about it rocks my world. I am sure that the IE7 team could give me an amazing tour, but it isn’t a workspace for me. Firefox is more than “just” a browser. I work in Firefox. And IE7 doesn’t feel like a workspace platform.
I will continue to try it out for a couple of weeks. Maybe I will find the killer app for it.
Merlin Mann has a What’s your favorite minimalist wallet? thread happening over on 43 Folders. [here]
I tried the Jimi. Too small.
This one is perfect.
I would never go back to a real wallet, like my father carried.
Dell could score some serious bonus points (especially after the fiasco with ZenWife’s computer) with me by sending me a bunch of these to distribute to friends and family.

I installed IE7 Beta 2 tonight. It lasted 15 minutes.
What ended its stay? Opening a new tab crashed the application.
Let me know when: It. Just. Works.
There is likely some secret squirrel hack that fixes this. I don’t want to hear it. An application at this level of pre-release development should not encounter a bug as simple as this.

I have been using the Jimi Wallet for about a week, and I have retired it for now.
I can’t operate with just five cards. I have too much happening in my life. I know that this violates all of the GTD principles, but I already have it narrowed down to a folding leather business card holder. And for my life, it holds what I need.
