Iphone and GoDaddy Email

Wetwired Time Sunday, July 13th, 2008 at 11:30 am by pylorns

On my macbook I have SSL setup to use for my godaddy hosted email account.  Aparently iphones don’t like SSL much.  Useful tip, if you have a www.godaddy.com hosting account for your domain and/or email - turn off SSL for both your outgoing and incoming.  This sorta sucks because you loose that added layer of security, but hey, its not like email is really secure anyway - if your doing business you’ll be using exchange and that is through a VPN, but personal email… oh well. 




Wetwired Performance Issues

Wetwired Time Saturday, June 14th, 2008 at 11:41 am by pylorns

You may or may not notice, but wetwired has been running extremly slow this morning and it was running slow last night.  At times it takes over 1 minute to load the page.  I have done some extensive troubleshooting with firefox, and firebug plugin and after turning off all plugins - defaulting back to the generic theme of wordpress all signs point to DB queries being the problem - meaning my host (godaddy) is having DB issues or performance issues.  Posting a static page works just fine and displays correctly.  I also noticed that they just updated php on the godaddy servers - who knows this could also be a factor.

I did some searching to see if there were wordpress performance posts or insight and there was - but I’ve covered the basis for reasons why it would be slow as notated above.  I can only wait until my host gets back to me.  Incidentally, when you call them you get a phone person who is nice but is not technical.  They then tell you they will escalate the issue and you’ll get an email back in a couple hours.  It’s been a couple hours.. no word.  We’ll see how good their support is.
