Several of our web properties experienced downtime while yours truly was travelling overseas without a computer.
This was due to our server was 1) out of disk space and 2) out of memory. The disk space issue has been resolved and the memory issue has been resolved by reconfiguring apache and moving to fastcgi from mod_php since most of our pageviews are on static html content and don't require the overhead of keeping php in memory for each apache worker process. By using fastcgi each worker process requires far less memory.

New releases
A spate of new releases today.
The cognitive bias modification apps sport a new stimulus/response paradigm that more closely matches published studies, and is a little more interesting to play as well. The GoUpToHer app has been also been upgraded with much more content.
In addition, we have a new contamination phobia attention bias modification app! Contamination phobia is an oversensitivity to disgust that is related to obsessive compulsive disorder. Disgust is a key component in the social anxiety apps as well.
This may be the last update for awhile - I'm going traveling internationally for some months without a computer, which will hopefully be a compelling mode of life if at least temporarily.

Announcing Cute N-back!
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of cute n-back on the iTunes store.
Dual n-back is a game which appears to improve intelligence via an increase in working memory span in some studies. Our take adds more game elements and pictures of kittens. Dozens of cute, cute kittens. Just waiting for you to beat a level so you can see them. The kittens want you to succeed. Will you take up the challenge?
