Site History
Gather ’round children, it’s high time ye learned…
DISGRACELAND, in its previous incarnation, was born on the month of July, 2001. Its origins date back as early as the year 2000, however this is a pre-history of sorts as it bore no substantial similarities to its subsequent states. It was, suffice to say, thoroughly awful in every conceivable way.
Throughout its existence, Disgraceland has remained largely (and perhaps rightly) neglected for the most part by an online community perhaps more discerning than one would give them credit for at a casual glance. Moreover, it appears to have been lost amid a myriad of pointless personal webpages. Fitting company, indeed.
In its previous guise as a largely one-dimensional bile factory, it succumbed to the inevitability of self-inflicted ritual suicide. Three years of shouting contempt for everyone and everything exhausted its supply of new targets, and so therefore eventually turned in on itself. The collapse was almost immediate.
The final entry made the bold statement: “Come back next lifetime.” Since then I have undergone something of a non-physical rebirth, so I’m satisfied that the criteria has not been stretched too far. It has, however, been laid to rest for long enough to allow the malignant inertia of history to grind to a halt and permit a change in direction.
In its resurrected form, much of the emotional baggage has been discarded like fat trimmed from a cut of steak. It still exists for posterity, but its expiry date for public consumption has long since passed. Most recently, the focus has shifted to the technical side of what I do, and the ratio between diary entries and tutorials will probably reflect this.
Have a nice day,
MS.
