I had originally registered JackHarner.com about 5 or 6 years ago, when I was first getting started with Web Dev. It was my first domain I ever purchased and was home to some of my early atrocities (For some reason it did get captured by the Wayback Machine).

Jackharner.com from 2013

In early 2016 I was broke as fuck and couldn't pay to renew the domain. Eventually it got deleted from the registry and re-registered and turned into a Chinese ad wall in June of 2016. They obviously weren't getting enough traffic to make any money from my shitty old portfolio that had probably 0 backlinks to it, so they let it expire.

It was then registered by another news aggregate wall in May of 2017.

I saw that it was about to expire this year and was constantly checking the WhoIs to see if it had been deleted again, and I finally got it back just last week!

I'm going to be using as a home for me and all of the things that I do. I have a seperate portfolio at HarnerDesigns.com but I want that to be focused on the Web Design stuff that I do. Where JackHarner.com can showcase all of the many facets of creative type work that I do, and just a place to fuck around on the web.
