  Welcome

 

I have been interviewing some potential graphic production assistants this week to help with producing icons for our new software and also to work on our new web sites. I have also been busy working with Michael Nordling on the interface design of our new software - an advanced RSS reader and blog application.  Designing software is a real passion for me, so it has been a productive and enjoyable week.

Ananth and Javier are making excellent progress on the new control panel as Michael explains below.

We have a very overloaded database server due to some issues in our automation system that provision new databases. Josh is managing the issue to bring everything back to normal loads as quick as possible. He has brought on extra shifts to balance the overload of databases to new databases servers as fast as possible.

I'd like to wish all our US friends a happy and safe 4th of July Next Monday!

This week was spent finalizing the documentation for my Management, Monitoring & Maintenance procedures. This info will provide someone with a quick, concise reference for all the common admin tasks related to server and network administration procedures. We also have a new web server setup this week which is now taking new accounts, and there is also SQL and Web server balancing being carried out this week and next week too.

This week is an exciting week here at m6. I have made the calls and we have 2 new hopeful m6 employees. Over the next few weeks we will be feeding them as much knowledge as we can to help them help you. We have been having some difficulties with a Database server. Currently its grossly overloaded. The reason why this happened is because we had a scripting failure for a few days. In that few days our cut off for databases was ignored and that has caused us to have an excess of databases on one of our Database servers. Plans have already been started to move the excess 200 databases from this server.

This week we have been working on to make the control panel faster and we have been able to make it much smoother. We still have some work that needs to be done on a few features but after this is done we are ready to release the control panel to a public beta to all our clients.

Also thank you to the people that test and give us feedback about the new control panel.
