Why did you choose Dirty PCBs? Was there something else you liked about them? Adrian Jones over at WoodUino tried it out:
As you can see, I chose a white coating for the boards but they offer many colours at no extra cost. The plating is excellent and the boards soldered easily. The component silk-screen is clear but all over the place – my fault because I didn’t bother to take the time to pretty it up. The boards are clean and tidy and look very professional.
I’m delighted that you took my pictures and lifted text from my blog.
Please pay the courtesy of asking permission first!
Thanks…
Huh? Afaik we attributed you with a link and someone submitted this to the blog. Did we violate the internet norms for quoting and linking?
@adrian, Funny thing is you took an image from Dirtypcbs site for your blog post too.
It’s not like people sharing your projects out of genuine interest is a complement or anything. Now if it was posted on an adult site doing a strip-tease (“now the silk screen, slowly”), that would be understandable.
Hey it’s winter, some of us Canadians can get a little testy. ;-)
@Adrian: I clicked through to your blog and read your post, which was interesting and useful. I would never have seen it, if I had not seen this mention of it. Personally, I’ve always been pleased when one of my posts was judged worthy for inclusion here in the dangerousprototypes blog.
I think that maybe he thought that you thought that his prototype was not safe and in fact dangerous : )
Yep. You’re right. Apologies I overreacted. My bad! I am delighted that you included the link and attribute to my blog. I guess that the notion of the “creative commons” cuts both ways and Picasso was right all along when he noted that “all art is theft’. Thanks for the citation, comments and the much-needed reflection on online ownership.
Keep up the great work..
