# GrabPERF and The Newest Industry: LAST CALL

> ***UPDATE:*** We have a new home:
> http://newestindustry.wordpress.com/
> Stop by and check us out.

> ***UPDATE:*** [The shutdown date has been set](http://www.newestindustry.org/index.php/2005/11/16/lights_out).
> **NOVEMBER 22, 2005**

Ok folks, this is it.

**Last Call.**

We have reached a point where the cost of the cable modem that connects my servers to the Internet has to be slashed.
Without the semi-static IP that I have had for the last 18 months, all of my Web services and applications will have to be terminated.
What does this mean to you?

[GrabPERF](http://www.grabperf.org/)

will be shutting down.

[Pierzchala.com](http://www.pierzchala.com/)

will be shutting down.

[WebPerformance.org](http://www.webperformance.org/)

will be shutting down.
And this blog will be shutting down.
I hate to do this, because it has been a great ride, but until we can get back on our feet financially, it's a step that has to be taken.
I will be keeping this site up until

~~November 30, 2005~~

November 22, 2005. After that, I will be shutting down all access.
This is not a plea for donations. This is a bare cold fact.
Heat the house or host my Web servers.
It's a pretty easy call.
