As noted last week when Giveaway of the Day posted this application, myself and many others were having launching issues as well as most having registration issues (and more specifically registration ‘expiring’ after one day.) I could not review the software last week because I was one of the many who were plagued by this bug. After trying for a good period of time last week, and when the giveaway came up this week, trying some more, I finally found what was causing my issues (And hopefully others.)
It appears to be linked somehow to the software’s detection routine for drives. Read “here”: or the continued portion for the body of my comments made on Giveaway of the Day’s comments – Hopefully this can help the developer of the software revise this title to be a little more compatible, as well as help others who really want to use this title.
With that said – Today’s 15-Minute Review of the title will be either delayed until this evening or cancelled. Work has me tied up today and do not have much time to get to this title to review it (Though I may do an article at a later time due to the face that I have an interest in seewing if this application works with my PSP.)
A quick note: If my technique works for you, post in my forums or the comments at Giveaway of the Day which application/driver/etc you had to turn off to make it work – This will help the developers figure out the exact issue and hopefully rectify it.

As mentioned before, the site would be a bit slow in new material except for the daily 15-Minute Reviews because I was moving and dealing with all the fun that comes from such an event. With my move complete, I am starting to work on new material for BladedThoth.com including more reviews, tutorials, articles and more.
With that said, I would like to ask anyone who has a suggestion for an article or tutorials that I may be able to cover, drop me a line on the forums and I can see what I can do. As well, if you have a product (Software, hardware or otherwise) you would like a review on, let me know and we can work that out as well.

Giveaway of the Day is not placing a software title online today. This is what Giveaway of the Day says:
“Hello all,
Today is technical maintenance day at GAOTD, we will be tuning our servers for maximum performance, checking the equipment and the software for problems and performance bottlenecks.
We will be back with new software and exciting action game tomorrow, and we hope you will be there as well to download our new giveaways and provide us with your opinions on those. We also hope your friends and colleagues will visit our site too:)
Yours sincerely, Giveawayoftheday.com team”
With that said, there will be no 15-Minute Review covering a software title from Giveaway of the Day – I will be doing a sponsored review for a website, as well as some site maintenance today.
Sorry to all of those who directly come to my site first. Check back again tomorrow!

Even though my host never stated it like they state they would on their status page, they had an issue with one of their network fileservers, which brought a lot of pages to their knees today, including mine for the better part of today unfortunately. If I keep having recurring issues with my host, I may need to start shopping for a new one.
Anyways, it appears I am back up and relatively stable so we’ll watch it for the next while to see if I keep having issues. Let me know in the forums if you notice anything.
Thanks for your patience!

Due to the severe site traffic being experienced today and my webhost consistantly canning my dispatcher, the site is experiencing outage issues. I am continuing to work on it as we speak but I am not making much headroom with the site constantly up and down and not able to test my attempted fixes effectively.
Thank you all for being patient with me as we hit this growing pain rather hard. I hope to resolve this soon.
