Security is in place, monitoring is being set up, and all sites are being tested as time permits.

Please let us know if you notice anything amiss throughout the DE Network.

We sincerely apologize for yet another long stretch of downtime. Funding is nil at the moment, and we have no redundant web server in case of emergencies. As it is, we had to wait for our old server to be shipped to a different facility so that our existing data could be made available. Unfortunately we could not make it work on the server it was moved to (OpenVZ, the technology we previously moved away from), and as a result had to find a new provider and transfer all of our data there instead.

We’re back up, we’re Xen-powered, and we’re hard at work on our server technology here at DE, two concurrent projects at Fallout Games, several open source .NET tools and libraries at SingularityShift, our debut sci-fi novel at digiPress, and some new electronic music from [broken] at Shattered Audio.

Don’t forget to bookmark Technology Kills, Ben McClure‘s blog.

Stay tuned for future updates around the DE Network, as well as a new Digital Empire site to tie them all together.

Many of our sites have their own blogs which you should also check out:

• DE’s founder, Ben McClure, has his own blog titled Technology Kills. Here, I (Ben) will cover pretty much everything I do, so it’s a good starting point.
• PC GameSource has set up the new PC GameSource Blog where they are posting news, reviews, and articles related to PC gaming.
• FOMS (Fallout 3 Mod Sorter) also has a blog on its own site where the developers post release info as well as other articles.

We will always try to link to and keep up with the latest news from all of our network sites here.
