You Cheeky Little Bugger!

Compsoc The Aberystwyth University's Computing Society website. I wrote it. When I wrote it I re-used no material. I lifted no material. Everything you see on the CompSoc website is stuff that I wrote from the ground up by hand. By doing so I think I made the site look good, and I was somewhat proud of it and still am.

mridge.com The website of one Mark Ridge. Notice any similarity?

In fact, if you view the source of Mark Ridge's website you will find comments that I left in there from when I was building the site, including a comment that explained why a table was a certain width. All copyright comments have been changed to point to Mark Ridge's website. Take a look at the source for the CSS file I so pain-stakingly wrote. Note it's pretty much exactly the same as the one on the CompSoc site, until you reach the bottom where the style drastically changes as a load of extra stuff has been bolted on.

If I'd been asked if it was OK to use the layout I'd have almost certainly said "yes". But I wasn't asked. Today is the first time I've seen this. The thing that irritates me most is the addition of copyright messages all over the site saying "Copyright 2004 mridge.com" when in fact all copyright belong to Matthew Lowe.

Grrrrrrrr.
