Touch Podium, as most of the regulars should know by now, had really slowed down at the [...]

Well, that was fun.  And by “fun” I mean “kill me now.”
Some of you may have noticed the downtime and the lovely “This account has been disabled” message when you tried to access TouchPodium, Frapstr or WebKit.  Turns out that a couple of databases had become a little screwed up and there were all kinds [...]

Our host is currently in the process of upgrading their servers and applying a huge bandwidth increase, moving everyone over from servers running regular platter hard drives to ones running server-capable SSDs. This will result in massive performance increases and far fewer CPU bandwidth errors when things start getting really busy across the Podium Network.  [...]

Yeah, I know.  Not only have I been a relative stranger around here the last few weeks, we’ve slowed to a crawl too.  We seem to be doing this too often, but I do apologize for the relative lack of activity around here.  Here’s the scoop:

I have a headache. But at least I have the satisfaction of knowing that Touch Podium is now back on its feet like it’s supposed to be, so our loyal readers should have no further trouble here.
Frapstr is now working 100% finally.  No more DNS issues or page errors, so you are free to [...]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we have been experiencing some odd issues with our new domain names. androidpodium.com and frapstr.com have been experiencing problems with wildcarding (adding “www” or whatever to the base URL) and hiding the underlying URL structure.
As of right now, http://www.thepodiumnetwork.com has worked from the beginning somehow, and [...]
