i've been using the internet and posting designs within its ever expanding web for quite some time. palesky.com alone has been around since before the turn of the new millennia (i can't be sure if it actually launched in '97 or '98) so i'll be the first to admit that i've been really lucky when it comes to web thievery. granted, most of my ( Read more... )

not harsh at all - in fact i was hoping that someone might take the perspective that this really isn't that big of a deal. i have emailed them, so i'm just in a holding pattern until i hear back from them.

still, the perpetrators seem to already have a serious understanding of PHP and HTML code in general so that would infer that this isn't a case of ripping off the code in order to understand how things are working - this *appears* to be taking the design and adopting it for their own purposes.

i am in no way at all opposed to the idea of trying to take a design that you like and taking elements of it and adopting it into your own style - but i personally feel that there are way too many similar elements to just shrug it off and let them get away with passing it off as their own work.

of course, it's a bit difficult for me to have an objective view about all this - i guess if enough people tell me that the designs really aren't that parallel then i'd probably have a much easier time letting this go.

happy valentines! spending the day with anyone special?

Pssh! Special!

I'd like to say "my hand" but that'd be too coarse; actually I'm hanging out with one of my friends here, then going to a love parade at 8pm (w/ a boy I have a minor crush on who takes the Earth Liberation Front seriously--oh Tucson, why so beyond the absurd?) & bringing my harmonica!

& you?

your hand! hah! hAhahahah!

i have absolutely nothing planned, other than a brief dinner at my pop's place in order to make up for a missed dinner invitation yesterday. otherwise i'll probably just hit the gym, go home and do some work.

love parade doesn't sound too bad - nothing that interesting ever happens in wilmington! be sure to turn heads with that harmonica of yours, and maybe it'll be the catalyst to vaulting your minor crush into something special. hehe

and eventually we do need to sit in person and talk!

Thing is, I'm still kind of ambivalent re: the minor crush. Out of practice on how these things work after such a goddamn long relationship--I still haven't really dated anyone, etc, & though the idea's pretty nice, I can't actually imagine anyone I *want* to date.

I meant to say, also, email/etc me your address & I'll send you a valentine!

You're in Wilmington? I totally had no idea--how near DC/Baltimore is that? We should totally hang out--I'll be in DC in May, and definitely again sometime later in the summer!
