Recently, my friend who also wanted to become my competitor came to me and asked another interesting question…

Did you design a website from scratch?

I was like, why not? As I answered him, I remembered the stories he told me a year ago while I came back for a short holiday.

He told me that, he joined a website to get the exclusive premium theme for a CMS system. From there, he adjust and make some graphical changes on the theme and sell it as an original work of his for his client. He did works like http://www.godietpills.com and some other personally known friend’s job.

I doubt he stop doing that since he asked the question. So I did not question him about the motive of the question nor the next question I wanted to ask.

So what do you define originality?

Seriously, getting from someone and edit the graphical appearance and claim the originality. While he who created a theme years back still insist his end-user to place back the copyright with his name on it. Looks like a mafia gang for me, if you ask me.

Well, doesn’t matter how he act, the one thing I know about his business nature now. Copy + edit + Paste = Sells. From now on, whatever he did for his next client, I will if any chance, ruin his business for this. It is not only about business ethic, but it’s about cheating/lying/con/scam.

Well, finally get this up and I think I should be free for a moment now. Everything is set and ready to go. Check out the latest project A Day A Smile. Anyway, after finishing this job, I was thinking a few thing, that actually satisfy myself…

The perfect poetry

Nowadays I hand code both HTML and CSS, with Strict document type and manage to get no error at all It’s like having a little exam with myself and I keep getting A Anyway, I do notice how error could slow down a page load, as well as divitis that jam the browser.

The design

I don’t recall myself a good web designer, I would say I am more to a webmaster. I am more into SEO, code, develop idea, solving web technical problem. Design isn’t on my side yet, though I have constantly tried to update myself by looking for more and research more. Whenever I got the chance to design my own website. I will put a 2 days there to make sure everything is track with whatever my mind can imagine. And it work for this one

Solution to a problem

From time to time, there will be some error and technical problem floating. I need to think fast and accuracy on how to solve it. Previously I would need a paper and sketches to come out with idea that can solve them. Now, everything is on my mind (speaking of saving the planet use less paper). Well, I like challenge like this

Anyway, everything coming back to square one now. Have to keep up with all the list in my to-do task.
