The iPhone Game I never made
by Sean Carter on Jun.16, 2009, under Uncategorized
Well, I brought up talk before of how I wanted to make an iPhone game. I tried to find programmers, then I bought some books to try and teach myself programming, but now that I’m doing freelance and waiting tables (until recession is over), I don’t have time for it. I also saw that other similar games have been put up. I thought I’d at least show off the roughs I had put together.
Plagiarism is alive and kicking on the ‘netz.

So, this started off with a simple tweet. @mike9r was telling the world about a great resource he found. Someone had spent hours sifting thru logos and posted about their favorite 50 logos on their site. Mind you, a site that was seeking people to advertise on their site. Well, another designer was curious. Since it sounded alot like their post. And gee, wouldn’t you know it was EXACT!! This is where I got involved, I saw @adellecharles post about how it was her post. This kind of gnawed at me. I even twittered out to avoid the website. So, after watching a surprising episode of LOST, no I won’t spoil the surprise for you, I did a bit of digging.
delimitdesign.com has stolen a few other articles:
“35+ Excellent Social Media Tools That Make Life Easier” was posted on the thief’s site November 19, 2008. Yet, freelancefolder did the same write up just 5 days before. Jest Staffel even dugg the article. I also noticed he dugg the original article that got me involved in this investigation.
Original of 50+ Kick Ass Logos was on Fuel Your Creativity, and stolen here.
50 Websites For Free Vector Images Download was originally done on Hongkiat and stolen here.
He even had the audacity to rip off Smashing Magazine with 100 Excellent Wordpress Themes, with the stolen page here.
I think we need to get the word out on this sham artist, and make sure if you catch someone, get the word out. I procrastinate very much on this blog, I admit. It’s because it takes a lot of hard work to pump out quality blogs, especially for fellow designers. If you are inspired or something, post a link. But you NEVER TAKE CREDIT FOR WORK YOU DID NOT DO!!
InDesign and storing files on a server
by Sean Carter on Sep.10, 2008, under Uncategorized
This has been causing me a bit of strife for the past few months and every time I get an opportunity to stop and think about it, I have forgotten about it. Well no more.
The problem? I’m using InDesign on a Mac and we have a community server running windows. We store and work off the server. It allows us to all have access so if someone works on something everyone else won’t have to hunt thru the first person’s computer. It really works.
My Firefox Setup

Okay did you forget I had a blog? It would seem I did, but I have been incredibly busy. With work and wedding plans and all else that happens in life.
So, today I have finally set up my Firefox 3.0 to how I find the best way, for me. I’m sure you might find some good tools in here.
