i dont belive it...

here the story so far: there was this guy and i spent my holidays in west canada at his hometay; he got commision for domestric flights and the car rental. 1/2 year later he asked me to help with his website, and he sent me a (totaly useless) "first try in ms-frontpage" hompage, done by the friendly kid who "knows everythig about computers" from next door to continue with.
because i dont like to use "font" and "blink"-tags or change 120 different products on 120 different html-pages i decided to start again with css, php and mysql.
after ~40hours work i asked for some money, but he didnt pay me anything because he missed his FF0000 textcolor, blinking heading and wooden background patterns.

today i checked the ads at one of my sites (normaly disabled by adblock here) and see him advertising his homestay via clicksor at my site

 

lol some people dont know what good looking on the web is.... ive had this experiecne with people telling me they want 1998 stuff on their webpages.

 

lol@ wooden background patterns
I think everyone new to the internet is impressed by that kind of stuff, then they realise it's tacky, annoying and pointless, just like the way they used too much make-up and video effects in the 80's.
