*sigh* dek - someone stole your idea

http://www.squidfingers.com/patterns/

a while back, dek had one of the best ideas I have ever heard. He was going to make a site called PooP(?). The idea was to design tiling backgrounds for websites for folks to download. He would also take submissions, I think, from folks.

Seems the idea has been spreading.

Yeah k10k has a pattern gallery too. Patterns are all the rage now. If I had jumped on it when I originally thought about it, I would have been the first. But there is no point in it now. People will start hating patterned backgrounds in about 3 months. But I really like squidfinger's patterns. He's very good at it. I visit his site a lot.

Speaking of patterns ax, remember this? http://www.soktdesign.com/Pattern.gif You did the left border thing and I did the pattern I think.

wow. that thing is super old. I found a cd of stuff I did back in the day when I was somewhat creative...if I tried to do that today, I would probably fail misserably.

I'm working on taking up some xml/css to bring back my site as a blog. soon as I get some decent resources to run through, I'll be set. Been reading ALA trying to catch up.

Buy Zeldman's new book. I'm on chapter 2 right now...

i'll swing by bam tomorrow and take a gander at it.

Damn...I really thought I would be the first one to do it...
I thought of it a long time ago.
But I never got the site up...
