I normally don’t fill surveys out. I have however filled this one out each year and you should too! A List Apart 2009 Survey. While I’m at it I might as well explain why I have not been posting here. I have been hard at work in the morning hours getting my new blog up and running. All the articles that are her will remain I will just not be posting here anymore. Instead I will be posting at the new blog. This site will contain portfolio work however. I will post again when the new blog is up and running. Now go fill out that survey all you web peoples.

So I don’t know if many of you knew but about a month and a half ago my website was completely copied by these guys - Quinetetdesigns.com. I tweeted about it and contacted the css gallery they were posted. They removed then and put mine up instead. Then within a hour or so they replaced their website with what is there now. I was glad that was over and happy they took their copy down. This morning I got into work and had an email from a reader of my site. He informed me that this now exists - Ashifnawaz.com. This Ashif is even worse then my first copy cat. He has copied everything, even my copy. He just took my name out and put his in. Other than a section about riding elephants and a lava lamp navigation everything is copied. I think he has the elephant thing commented out though. Whois.net tells me he is from Dhaka, Bangladesh. The other place was from India. Just makes me sick. One, they take work from the US because they work for uber cheep and then on top of that they copy our design, code, and ideas as well. I know that all the people over there aren’t like this but so far my opinion of then isn’t very high. Any thought about what I should do about this copy cat? I do have his email and phone number.
