Jorbb back "Live" on new servers

Hi Jorbbers / Jorbbees,

Apologies for the downtime today as we've just moved to our very own server and it took a while for the DNS to propogate to the new server IPs.

Here's what our new setup looks like:

- GenuineIntel, Intel(R) Xeon(R)CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz
- psa v8.4.0_build84080514.18 os_CentOS 5
- Linux 2.6.9-023stab046.2-enterprise

So far everything feels 200% speedier than on the shared hosting. Nice.

And we will launch...

Hi folks,

We've been keeping it low for a while, but we have exciting news.

Final site testing is being conducted right now (this is our 4th round - and we keep adding features to Jorbb.com). We are hoping to wrap up middle next week and launch by the last weekend of July.

Thanks for your patience and don't forget to register your email for the lucky draw :p

Pssst, during the opening week, we're going to give away a "newly launched lifestyle companion" and a couple of PSP slims to some lucky registered users. More details later as the mystery product is not in the shops yet.

Thanks for reading / rss-ing the blog site too.

Why so BIG?

So we went to collect our Singapore GP tickets at the post office and when the staff came out with the 6 tickets, we were wondering why they came out in 3 big boxes!

Check out the unboxing of our Singapore F1 GP tickets. By the way, we managed to fit all 6 ticket packs into 1 box.

Thanks for all the emails, requesting information on what Jorbb.com will be all about.

At the moment, we are finalising some bugs on the site and hope to launch mid July.

In the mean time, we have opened our landing page and would like you to submit your emails so that we can inform you when we have launched. We will be giving away 5 iPod Shuffles.

On launch day, we will be also giving some prizes away for those who sign up on that day so stay tuned (hint - it'll be small, shiny, portable and so so useful).

Mean time, check out http://jorbb.com.

Oh, we are also testing Zopim on our landing page, so don't be surprised if Jorbb sends you a chat request!

Jorbb gets jobs for you...

Hi everyone, my name is Jorbb and I'm the mascot for Jorbb.com and Jorbb.com/blog.

Not to reveal too much, but we are hoping to launch sometime in June 2008. We will not just be another job site. There'll be heaps of incentives for being a Jorbber (Employer) or Jorbbee (Job Seeker / Employee).

At the moment, final UAT is being conducted by 2 teams, to iron out bugs on the site.

In the mean time, my team and I will be posting articles on Singapore Employment issues (covering topics on the Economy, Education, Employment, Graduate, Jobless and Recruitment).

We aim to be a one-stop blog for articles which will help you stay relevant in this every changing landscape.

As our target audience will range from students to employers, we will also post interesting articles on Web 2.0 websites / applications / widgets which may help with your day to day productivity as well as some tech news.

Do subscribe to our RSS feed using the link on the top right sidebar.

Thanks and stay tuned :)

Later,
Jorbb
