Collected thoughts about software and site performance ...
Web performance matters. Responsive sites can make the online experience effective, even enjoyable. A slow site can be unusable. This site is about online performance, how to achieve and maintain it, its impact on user experience, and ultimately on site effectiveness.

Adobe Acrobat 8 and Software Bloat
Lately I've been working with a lot of documents, so I was getting ready to invest in an Adobe Acrobat licence. To be able to merge documents of different types would be particularly useful. So it seemed like serendipity today when I got an email from Adobe with the title, Combine it all into one. It offered a free 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, which it said could "combine spreadsheets, e-mails, web pages, and forms into one searchable PDF package". Perfect! I thought, I'll download it now. And that's when the problems started.
