The history of my personal website is a long, drama filled one. More so than any personal website should ever be.

Back with my old host and domain provider, my url (derekglascock.com) was not on an automatic renewal system. It lapsed for a few days and was purchased by some Swedish group that put up very adult content using my domain. This was horribly embarrassing if anyone were to ever Google my name.

Once I got my domain back, I switched hosts and put up a rather nice Joomla site that had my portfolio and all kinds of cool information. Recently when I went to update my site (something I don’t do nearly as often as I would like) I was mortified to find that it had been hacked by a Portuguese or Brazilian hacking team that put up some propaganda. I really don’t understand why, but it wasn’t what I would consider an ideal situation. Unwilling and unable to pay the $100 for my host to kindly roll back my site to a previous state, I decided to burn it down and start fresh again.

So please hold on tight for new content and a new layout. I fully expect that this iteration of the site will cause some sort of global disaster.
