OK, next step in ShowSlow was to make measured data to be a little bit more useful for analysis – previous change of adding rule grades was useful, but simply replicates YSlows functionality and you should be using YSlow itself to get this data. This time I’ve added something that almost no analytics systems have…

Meeting last night was a good start! Thanks to everyone who attended, I hope you enjoyed it. I think it was important to see that front-end performance is a very important topic among the community, but still there are some topics of traditional back-end performance/load-testing/scalability/reliability that a worth have some events dedicated to; maybe we’ll…

Just a few days ago I wrote first version of ShowSlow and then released it Open Source. But progress is unstoppable and Yahoo! released long-awaited YSlow 2.0 so it’s time for ShowSlow 0.2. This means that I’m sitting down and analyzing Beacon parameters to make sure ShowSlow can collect data properly – so here’s the…

OK, ShowSlow is taking shape and I decided to follow “Release Early, Release Often” motto so now it’s open source: http://code.google.com/p/showslow/ Current version accepts YSlow beacons and you can configure your browser to post to public showslow.com beacon or install your own instance if, for example, you want to hide the results from others. Sample…

After talking to Steve Souders about local events at Web2.0Expo in San Francisco, I realized that New York is missing Web Performance optimization event. I went ahead and saved 75% using Meetup.com discount code (Web2SF09 – graciously provided by Derek Odegard of Meetup team) and now you’re welcome to join New York Web Performance Workshop…

Yesterday, I talked about Web Performance at New York Web Standards Meetup hosted by theMechanism. Thanks to all attendees for coming to the presentation, I hope it was informative and worked as a call to action. If you have any questions or need help with your performance optimization project, feel free to post your comments…

Some time ago I created MediaWiki Widget for TypePad Connect: http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/TypePad_Connect While editing a wiki page and going to different versions of it, I noticed that Comments widget has a well known issue – it has no idea which comments should be displayed on the page if page has different URLs (ad campaign tracking codes…

I’ve done some integration of OpenID selector into MediaWiki OpenID extension and some fixing/improvements of the latter. You can see changes on TPr, MWW and SharingButtons. Next week will take a look into checking it back in. Still need to figure out if I can check in BSD code (selector) into MW tree or need…

Did some maintenance on my projects – added OpenID support to wikis: http://www.sharingbuttons.org/Special:OpenIDLogin http://www.techpresentations.org/Special:OpenIDLogin http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/Special:OpenIDLogin Also working on embedding OpenID selector – check Sharing Buttons OpenID login page (still needs some work, but quite promising). Also changed all wikis and blogs to use memcached instead of APC for cache storage – it seems to be…

While walking to work early today I came up with the name for my blog – “Binary Orders of Magnitude”. I think it’s a good name for personal blog and sounds very big and global as all blog names should sound as all of us live to accomplish something big. Plus it has some geekish…
