If you&#8217;re wondering, the blurb on the top is my poor attempt at programming wittiness. Suffice it to say it uses php&#8217;s ternary operator, one of my favorite php constructs.<\/p>\n<p>What else.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we lost another client today. We&#8217;d been hosting this guy&#8217;s website since 1999, done the graphic layout and the backend programming. He always seemed very pleased with the result. Until about a year ago, some wiseass went and told him he could offer much cheaper hosting and a much better backend solution. This guy came to talk with me about this, and I had checked out his site prior to his visit &#8212; good lord, that site sucked big time. During the conversation I couldn&#8217;t help noticing that Se\u00c3\u00b1or Asshat was treating me like a mouthbreathing idiot &#8212; so in turn I told him how I felt about his website.<\/p>\n<p>This did not go down well.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, I&#8217;m guessing the guy has repeatedly attempted to get our client to move his business with him. And I suppose it finally paid off. The problem I&#8217;m having with this is not so much losing a client &#8212; it lies in <em>how<\/em> the hosting transfer was done: Se\u00c3\u00b1or Asshat has basically stolen my layout (copy\/pasted html-source, took all the existing graphic elements that were designed by me) and is now presenting it as his own. With a big fat link to his &#8220;webdesign&#8221; firm. Loser.<\/p>\n<p>The kicker in this whole story is: I had been working on a complete revamp of the site. No more frames, extensive usage of css and xhtml, to make it fast and search-engine friendly. No less than two days after I finished the redesign, in comes the email telling us he&#8217;s with Mr Asshat now. His loss, I say.<\/p>\n<p>Oh well, by-gones and all that, yes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So yeah, I have a new layout.
