The web service for fetching contacts from MSN messenger / Windows Live Messenger has been hit by a series of problems over the past few days. First I hit the bandwidth limit for the account used to host the service. Next, the server used was hit by a DDoS attack. Finally after all that was sorted out the bandwidth limit again caused problems.

Hopefully everything should now be back to normal and the service will be stable.

As always, if you do have any problems, my contact details are available under the ‘About’ tab at the top of the page.

WordPress is a web-server-neutral application, meaning that it can run on many different platforms. Apache and Linux are the most robust platforms for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do.

Make sure your host features the most up-to-date and stable version of these platforms to create a strong environment in which to run WordPress.

Choosing the best method to run PHP, the language that interprets the WordPress code, can also affect your server’s performance. In CGI mode, the server creates a new instance of the PHP program for every PHP file that a visitor requests. In shared module mode (or ISAPI), a single library instance is used for each PHP hit. There are advantages and drawbacks to each method - while choosing the method for your server, be sure to keep in mind traffic and its demands on the server.

You can read feeds using an online Web service, a client-side feed reader or by creating a Firefox Live Bookmark. So there’s no need to comb the Web for the latest news and updates. See the latest headlines in the toolbar or menu and go directly to the articles that catch your eye.
