Links pointing to the old URL of http://blog.benmcclure.com will still work, but will all forward to the http://technologykills.com homepage. To fix, simply change your links to point to http://technologykills.com instead, and they will work like they did before.

If you notice any quirks or issues with the site running in its new location, let me know and I will work to resolve it immediately.

Thanks for sticking with me during this transition!

For the past hour or so, I've gotten reports of the site being inaccessible sporadically. I have also seen this myself, as all of my equipment has been down for the past 15 or 20 minutes.

As you can see by this post, the issue seems to be resolved for the moment.

My current service provider is undergoing a management change, and is taking care of some long-standing issues, so hopefully these problems were a result of the firewall finally being set up properly.

My servers already ran great, but it was taking weeks to get any request through. I firmly hope (and expect) to receive better service going forward with the new owners.

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 ) which worked perfectly, and all of my Start Menu items have returned.

Thanks, Greg!

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, , 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.

This has just been resolved, and all should be back online to stay.

Starting now, I will be posting here about anything and everything.

Stuff about games, computers and technology, my music, writing, random notes, pissed off , and more...

Stay tuned!
