Browser Metrics
So, I’m creeping up the hit chart on google for the search term “browser metrics.” You can find the fake browser metrics at mozilla.org’s wiki. They only showed up several years after I had coined the term. They are stealing my thunder which I should’ve trademarked or copyrighted a long time ago.
BTW, the story of the name BrowserMetrics comes from my time at Shore Studios. I was sitting around joking with my co-worker AT about how to know that the web sites we were building were optimized to load quick. Was the jpgs and gifs and html we writing going to be quick when served up? Remember this was the time of the ubiquitous dial-up and probably around the 24.4 to 56k crossover. I hit on a scheme to figure out the load time of pages. I was developing some mathematical formulas to describe each and every element on the page and how they contributed to load times. But then I quit that job and the internet became all about the broadband, so now its just the name of the blog.
