MochiBot Blog

Mochi Media is working furiously on expanding and improving it’s products! To do this we need a kick-ass visual designer to join our ranks. You should be adept at web and interface design, with some XHTML/CSS skills for mega bonus points. You’ll be working with the team to develop new ideas on both MochiBot and MochiAds, as well as working on our new super secret classified projects. (Not to mention you get to work with our Mochi character ^__^)

It’s been a while since I last posted an update so I just wanted to let everyone know that we’re still here and working as hard as ever. You’ll be glad to know that we’ve been making some updates to the backend of MochiBot. We haven’t pinned down a release date yet, but we’ll definitely make an announcement once it’s all finalized.

The guys at Ninja Kiwi recently released a game called Bloons that has been taking the gaming community by storm. When I first saw the game I didn’t think much of it. But then once I started playing it was soon apparent that this game was going to be a hit. Who would have thought popping balloons as a monkey would be so much fun.

The game play is simple yet highly addictive. The graphics and sound quality all blend in to make the experience of the game quite enjoyable. You don’t have to take my word for it though. Bloons has been topping the MochiBot charts since its release and we don’t forsee a change anytime soon.

Enjoy the game and just be careful because you’ll quickly get sucked into some serious time wasting. I have yet to beat the game, but I’m on level 42 now and will soon achieve Bloons greatness! muahahaha

We just finished upgrading both our servers and the network that we run on. The upgrades will increase the speed of the system and give us some greater stability. It’s been a while since we last upgraded the servers. In fact it had been some 500+ odd days since it was last rebooted. That’s pretty cool! =)

You may notice a small dip in your traffic and that’s during the time we were running the upgrades. Sorry for any inconveniences!

Today you’ll notice a flatline of traffic data in MochiBot due to an issue with our DNS last night. The outage was between March 4 at 6pm to March 5 at 7am PST.

The outage was due to our DNS being reset by Yahoo after a domain renewal. If you’re considering the use of Yahoo’s domain registry services, then I would highly discourage it! We’ve had nothing but problems using their system and running into problems like we did last night is completely unacceptable if you’re running a mission critical site.

Love’s Arrow is a great Valentine’s treat by Cadin Batrack. Play cupid and shoot your arrows of love to fill those gray and lonely Valentine’s day souls with joy.

A perfectly timed release of this game has sent it to the tops of our MochiBot charts. Great job Cadin!

We had a short outage today between 4:30pm and 5:30pm PST. You’ll probably see a dip in your stats between that time. Things are working as expected now so sorry for the inconvenience.

Bob I and had our first filmed interview a couple days ago with the Podtech LunchMeet team, Eddie & Irina. It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed our time with them. I hope this gives everyone out there a little peek into our world.

Sorry for the inconvenience but one of our servers went down late last night so you won’t be able to log into the site right now. We’re looking into the problem and hope to have it fixed up shortly.

Thanks for your patience!

**UPDATE** The servers are up and running again. The problem was not with the servers, but rather a router. No data was lost so the system is processing all of the past day’s traffic and should be finished soon.

Have a great weekend!

We had a network outage at our data center yesterday between noon and 4pm PST. No data was collected during that time so you’ll see a break in your MochiBot reports. Sorry for the inconvenience.
