Updates - 19th April 2006

Wired Surf

First up, two Wired Surf updates.

"Due to errors and problems with our surf bar, today, April 18th will be a free surf day meaning that you are not required to surf in order to receive your daily earnings. In fact, we ask that you refrain from surfing so that our programmers can work on determining what the problem is.

Our server is an extremely powerful one and so upgrading it isn't going to help us as it is one of the best that RackSpace offers.

We will determine the problem and fix it, however to avoid frustration and activity within the surf bar, today is a free surf day.

Thanks!"

And now some good PR and suggestion from the campaign-managers at Wired Surf Advertising HQ:

"Wondering what we have in store for you as a member of Wired Surf?

Here are a couple of hints:

- Scratch and (possibly) win, even as much as $8,000.00!

- Earn more money in less time AND surf even less daily!

- Pending payment? Not anymore! Is 48 hours too long to wait?

- Refer & Earn, psst, you will receive a percentage of your entire downline's upgrades!

- ATM, anyone? Skip E-gold and receive your earnings instantly!

Have we caught your interest yet? Visit our forum for details on all of our upcoming events and special programs, available only to active and upgraded members."

I find it quite interesting, and like the fact they are going for a mild mystery angle. At least they have SOME nous on how to advertise stuff! Which is what surfs are meant to be all about right?

Yes, these guys are still facing mega problems but Gordon did pop in eventually to give us little guys an update:

"GMI and NES are under intermittant DOS attacks.
No sooner had we moved servers, than we suffered a spammer attack and a dos at the same time.

I went online to begin making payments today and found that some software was missing off the server.

As soon as I had managed to make the first manual payment, we copped another dos.

I cant receive deposits or make payments until this thing is resolved.

Gordi"

I take it the missing software is the source of the SQL problem.

Gordon's response there was in response to questions about dividends as well, so I'll take it to mean that he is also referring to dividend payments - or at least implying that he can't apply them till everything is back up and running smoothly.

We'll see.
