Simile...Cooler then like or as

It has been quite some time since I put in my first blog entry. Caroline was born and there went all of my free time.

Today I spent some time with an interesting colleague from a Canadian Performance Management and Monitoring company called Coradiant. He introduced me to a really neat web site called Simile from the labs at MIT. This was a timely find as I've been spending much of my time teaching my staff about the concepts of time phased occurences within software applications and how they directly correlate performance. If you haven't checked it out, I recommend that you do.

I've also decided that now might be the best time for my team to adopt the Apdex scale for a better understanding of response time performance. In the past I have been hesitant to adopt an all-or-nothing approach to performance analysis. After some deep deliberation, I realized that my view into performance is somewhat complex and could be deeply simplified.

I will write more later...just wanted to talk about the three links above...
