This is Drew Perttula, creator of the barcode door entry system. Many of you have emailed me asking for where I moved the site. In my bulk answer (which about 200 people have received by now), I included the following text:
I give everyone on this Bcc list permission
to mirror the page with these conditions: you have to put my name
and email on it as the author, and you have to indicate on the page
that you're mirroring is http://bigasterisk.com/automation/door (not
[the address of the moved page], obviously).
What do I get? digital_gods (to whom I did not give any special additional permissions) mirrors my page, alters it with a comment that readers will not see that includes the secret address of the moved page! He didn't add my name to the page either. This doesn't make me mad; I'm just stunned at the way someone copied my work without attribution and without following my easy instructions about the URLs.
digital_gods, I hope you'll edit your mirror the way I asked. Everyone else, go look at digital_gods' page I guess, since all you want is to see my photos. I want to go to bed, so I'm not going to mess around with links and servers any more tonight. I hope I am still able to receive all your emails, as I've been receiving lots of interesting stories over the weekend.
