Roy did it!

For months, I’ve been struggling with TateHausman.com. Someone (or more likely, some bot) hacked into my code and planted something ugly there. I couldn’t find it. And it started spewing out all sorts of nonsense — I think it was trying to sell Viagra to eastern Europeans. Or maybe Turks. I don’t know. As a result, Google dropped TateHausman.com from its rankings.

This was all pretty annoying, but not annoying enough that I did anything about it. Until my friend Roy came over. Roy is a computer systems professional. Unlike yours truly, he actually knows his way around code, instead of just pretend- pseudo- kinda-hacking like me.

Within 20 minutes, Roy had found the problem, (in the htaccess file, btw), isolated it, and fixed it. Within 2 days, Google had re-indexed the site. And now, finally, TateHausman.com is once again the top hit when you search for my name.

Thanks, Roy! For your genius detective work, I hereby reward you with a link to your clever but incomprehensible blog, forexroy.blogspot.com, about the ups and downs of foreign exchange currency trading. You helped me with the Google; here’s backatcha!
