I have finally completed moving my servers around to a couple of different providers. This has served me very well so far. My sites are faster, several of my nameservers are on different providers/networks, and I'm even saving money!

After installing a small utility which added a Start Menu icon to my Windows 7 RC machine, suddenly my All Programs collection in the Start Menu went blank.
At first i thought the utility had somehow deleted all of my Start Menu items, but that was not the case. Items could still be searched for and launched that way in the start menu, but not browsed for by clicking All Programs.
I found this post over at Greg's Cool Thing of the Day blog which describes a "fix" (moving some of the items into one or more subdirectories) which worked perfectly, and all of my Start Menu items have returned.
Thanks, Greg!
I have opened the DEblog over at The Digital Empire, and this site will allow me to keep everyone updated about everything happening within the Digital Empire network (basically everything I do).
This includes news and articles about such sites/services as:

I have opened a new site in the DE network--the PC GameSource Blog.
For now, this has replaced the official PC GameSource site, which has been under construction for far too long.
I will post articles (usually at least daily) regarding PC games, mods, game tools, developer news, and more. Already posted are articles regarding Wolfenstein, FOMS 2, and the Aion Open Beta.
Look for many more to come! Don't forget to leave your comments and suggestions on the site, and let me know if you have any issues.
I am almost finished with FOMS 2 Alpha 2 (Keep an eye on falloutmodsorter.com for details), but it's been requiring more time than I have available to give it.
If anyone is interested in assisting with FOMS, here are the things I most need assistance with:
- Vector graphics - preferably in .xaml format (eg. MS Expression Design), but .ai (Adobe Illustrator format) is fine too.
- Icons - FOMS has one icon -- it needs more themed icons for its various components
- Website work - falloutmodsorter.com needs a lot of work on its theme (css and graphics), and a webmaster or maintainer who can help me keep content fresh, manage the "community" (non-existent so far), etc.
- Marketing/advertising - FOMS 2 is open-source and will always be free, but we still need to let people know it's out there--without a large user base, FOMS can never grow to the one-stop Fallout 3 mod sorting application it could be.
- C# and/or XAML (WPF) coding--I'm currently doing everything in this field, but it is taking up all of my time and not allowing me to focus on any of the other aspects of the app (see above)
On another note, plurliquid is doing a great job on the new template so far, and it will make its official debut in FOMS 2 Alpha 2. This has given me a lot more time to work on the backend and get FOMS ready for the next release.
You will be seeing the new release very soon (as usual, several weeks late)!
