Our network performance continued to degrade well into the weekend, and we eventually traced the issues to our router. After a herculean struggle, I believe that we finally have a stable, fast network topology for Mentat.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this might have caused. At this point, the system is *fast* and […]

We’ve are migrating the Mentat service to a very high bandwidth service provider and will very likely experience periodic outages for the next few hours. Service interruption should not continue after this evening.

Both the Agenda page and the Projects page have received some love. The loading times have been drastically improved, and we should no longer be getting in our own […]

Development on iMentat is going *fast*. It is very likely we’ll be ready for beta testers by the end of next week, if there’s actually a way for us to distribute the builds to people.

The Mentat BlackBerry OTA download links are working again.
