Last week, we announced the publishing of the magazine 8 Faces by our partner and friend Elliot Jay Stocks. 8 Faces is a new magazine for fans of typography that asks eight leading type designers compelling questions informing the arguments behind “good” type usage.
Earlier today we made an announcement that we were making a significant change to the way notifications about system maintenance are handled. Prior to this change, we received a lot of feedback that (mt) was over-communicating and cluttering up customer inboxes. Some folks even said “Stop spamming me!”
Just a few hours later, we began hearing from lots of customers who very much liked the emails and who found value in the notifications.
As a result, we have decided to create an opt-in system that will allow us to send notifications to users who desire the email they are accustomed to. Please add your email address to the form below, and you will continue to receive notifications as usual. In the future, we will make a more elegant email preference management tool available inside the (mt) AccountCenter.
Thank you again for the feedback! We get it. Some of you love blogs and Twitter and some of you love good ‘ol email. Whichever your preference, we hope that we have satisfied your notification preferences for the time being.
Based on customer feedback, (mt) Media Temple will no longer send email notifications regarding scheduled maintenance or emergency maintenance actions. Instead, we will use our System Status Blog and Twitter to share important maintenance-related information with you. This change will go into effect on August 14th, 2010.
Also, we have chosen Monday and Thursday [9 PM to 1 AM PDT] as an established time window to perform our maintenance actions and system improvements. If a critical situation arises, we may need to conduct “emergency maintenance” outside of the established time window; however we intend for these situations to be rare and infrequent.
(mt) Media Temple supports the open source community by helping programmers do what they do, better. That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with Bocoup. They are a Boston-based JavaScript company primarily focused on doing enterprise development work for the Fortune 500 and product development for start ups, while contributing substantially to open source projects.
This post was recently updated (8/7/10 10:30 AM) to convey new information. Please look for new content in the color orange.
Recently, the hosting industry has experienced a large influx of malware attacks against websites running popular blogging, content management, e-commerce applications and static content as well. At (mt) Media Temple we take these threats very seriously and we have taken several parallel steps to help our customers stay secure. This blog post is an attempt to do a better job in explaining the often confusing nature of security issues - some of which are specific to (mt) and some of which are non-specific to (mt). We would like to assure our customers that we are focused on this subject and that the (mt) infrastructure is not “hacked”.
Elliot Jay Stocks is a designer, illustrator, speaker and the publisher of the instant success, 8 Faces. 8 Faces, a project (mt)’s proud to support, is a new magazine for fans of typography that asks eight leading type designers compelling questions informing the arguments behind “good” type usage. (mt)’s Jason McVearry interviews Elliot, a long time (mt) partner and client about this latest project and the story behind 8 Faces.
Mobile Roadie leads the pack in the emerging mobile application platform market. Based in LA, they launched in 2009 as a platform for the music industry, allowing labels to easily roll out mobile apps for their bands. “MoRo” has since captured the attention (and business) of Fortune 500 brands spanning industries and interests. Their original feature rich platform allows their clients to roll out a customizable app easily for $500.
Ceding to high demand, MoRo has expanded their “Core” product offering to include “Plus” and “Pro”. The new tiered packages introduce vast new customization features, advanced content management and new web->to->app syncing capabilities. Rolling out a robust mobile app just got easier.
(mt)’s Jason McVearry visited the Mobile Roadie team a few weeks before today’s launch. Co-founders Michael Schneider and Brock Batten took time to chat about new Pro features, their growth and future plans.
This post was recently modified to contain new and updated

Realtime Graph displays deep server information with detailed points to help administrators diagnose server and application performance.
