Known Server Issues
No need to inform me about the following server issues, which I apologize in advance for:
- CPU time to generate some WordPress and Drupal pages is surpassing 30 seconds. I am actively looking into this and suspect it's some sort of VPS issue with queue times. This is my top priority.
- Caching is not working properly. No pages are being cached on most of my sites. The pages are still working fine, but because of the above performance issue this can become excruciating. I will have caching working properly by the time the previous issue is resolved.
- Our CDN is not set up correctly. We are using SimpleCDN to host many of our static assets, for performance reasons. It is correctly pulling most assets automatically, however you will notice some pictures in our posts are broken, and other links may not work quite right yet. This is being worked on actively as well.
If you have noticed anything other than these three problems, please let me know so I can work on those as well. I am assessing the entire Digital Empire infrastructure which is why things are taking longer than they otherwise would, but the end result should be a more stable, much faster network.

Finishing up a new song
Finally getting back into the swing of things and reinstalling Audition 3, I've resolved to finish the Faithlessness demo, and plan to have it ready within the next week or so.
Faithlessness is both my newest and one of my oldest songs. I started it immediately after releasing Killing Nothing several years ago. It went by several names since then... originally titled Broken Machine, it was changed to Faith in Faithlessness about two years ago, and shortened up to just Faithlessness last year.
The base track is the same one I've been working off of from the start. As a result, it will be my most polished work to date; although that's still not very polished as far as how I'd like it to be. I've re-mixed a lot of the tracks to fit better in the song over time, and added and removed several things. The last piece I'm finishing up on are the vocals. Finding just the right vocals to go with the mood and visions I had for the song proved very difficult over time, and the words only recently started coming to me.
It's turning out to be my favorite song yet. Followed closely by Stolen and then Destroy. You can check out all of my released tracks on the Broken site.
