Blog Feeder busted and bandwidth sharing...

There is a problem with our Blog feeder service thus it continually blocks the other modules from running. So, we had no other choice than discontinuing the blog feeder service until we can find a more suitable XML rendering engine which is compatible with the ATOM format.

Nevertheless, there is one good news that cheers us up. That is one copy cat group forgot to close a certain hole within their security, thus allowing us to dump some of our content over there. We thank them for the generousity and thus relieving some of the extra pressure from our webserver. Kuddos boys!!!

www.mychub.org --> MyChub.ORG

Recently, there was a problem regarding our URL www.mychub.org. It seems that base address was not working while sub address works fine. Initially, I thought it might be due to the DNS caching factor. Thus I added a temporary DNS server to accelerate the propogation of the domain name. Nevertheless, it turns out that the problem was not as expected. I have traced the error to a faulty index file coding which has wrongly sent our users to a blank page.

Within minutes, the error was rectified and now users are able to use the old address www.mychub.org

More importantly, the added DNS server will continue to accelerate mychub site pages while we have added a feature of a shorter URL --> http://mychub.org

With both URL working, we can expect more users will enjoy the benefit of this shorter name and a faster browsing experience via the accelerated server.

MyChub.ORG is back Online June 2005



This is a screen capture of the recent mychub administration module.

As you can see.. our bandwidth is very high and every effort has been done to maximize the usage of the site. Fortunately for us, we have a fantastic hosting - FIVIO.COM.


We have been upgraded to the Linux-GOLD package FREE of charge. This translates to :-
200MB More Diskspace
40GB More Data Transfer

We value every effort to support mychub and kuddos to the people at Fivio.com for the upgrade.

MYCHUB.ORG domain outage 2005

There was a domain outage in June 2005. This was due to the excessive amount of users going to our website. Thus, we are in the process to upgrade our server to a more bigger and powerful plan to accomodate the additional bandwidth and content. Users are advised to be patient as we will take some time to port all the coding and material to this new server. Estimate downtime - One week !!!

(It can be faster, but i'm doing task this alone.. so spare the comments while I work on the migration work)
