Does Hard Work Pay Someone Else Off?

What do you do when someone steals your content, displaying it on their site as if they wrote it? I’ve sent 2 messages to the email addresses on this site several times and they are not responding. I’ve explained very nicely that they have stolen my content and asked them to remove it because they are in violation of copyright. Don’t people have an conscious these days?

See for yourself…

Doesn’t this site (site has been removed) copy word for word from my Poker Chip Tricks Tutorial?

pokerchiptricks.com

I promise I’ll be starting on the new poker chip tricks site within a week. I should be able to get started on Sunday and Monday with quite a bit. First step will be coming up with a design and porting over the current list of tricks. Any ideas for a header logo? I’m not very good with graphics, so if anyone can create something worth using, I’ll give them my Rounders DVD. After I get those things done I’ll need to come up with descriptions and videos for all of the new tricks that I have saved up.

Uninspired

Things have been pretty slow on the site lately. I know! As you know, I was out of town for almost two weeks and I’m still recovering. I just haven’t had any great thoughts or ideas to write about. I hope to change that this weekend though. Sorry for the lack of posts.

MtDewVirus Is Back

I’m sorry for the interruption in my sites over the last few days. I’ll take full blame since I didn’t plan the server move out very well at all. Things kind of hit and there wasn’t much I could do at that point. Over the next few days I’ll make sure that everything is still working properly, but if you find something that isn’t, please let me know.

I think this was my longest streak without posting since I’ve been running WordPress.

Update: The offer still stands if anyone needs a place to host their site. I promise I won’t charge you an arm and a leg!

Lately…

I’ve had quite a few things going on. Somehow, things all happen at once.

Today I did a little work on my new dedicated server, but I still need to wait for a few domains to transfer over to 1&1, where I’ve decided to keep all the domain registrations. I now own 8 domains, which are

  • momrik.com
  • mtdewvirus.com
  • mtdewvirus.net
  • mtdewvirus.org
  • nickmomrik.com
  • pokerchiptricks.com
  • pokerchiptricks.net
  • pokerchiptricks.org

I hope to have the pokerchiptricks.com site up in the next few weeks, but there really is a lot of work to do. I need to come up with a design, shoot a lot of videos, compress all of those videos, write tutorials, and many other things I have planned.

PokerChipTricks.com

The announcement you’ve all been waiting for…I’ve purchased pokerchiptricks.com! Over the next few weeks I’ll be designing an all new site and moving my poker chip tricks tutorials. I also have quite a few new tricks to add. Big things are planned and I’m pretty excited about it.

A Busy Week Means A Quiet Week

Just a warning that I have a very busy week ahead. On Friday I’m taking a couple of Microsoft certification tests, so all of my free time will be spent studying. I don’t have much free time as it is, so updates and posts to the site will be few and far between, if any at all. I’m also trying to get into a sleeping routine, which hasn’t been going so well. Starting last week I’ve been going to bed before 11:00 during the week, trying to get more sleep. It’s not working! I haven’t been able to sleep worth a shit since I’ve been doing this. In fact, I’m home sick from work today because I’m rundown. The last thing I want to do is risk getting mono again, so I always play it safe when I feel like this. I was getting more rest by going to bed at 1:00 AM…I just don’t understand! So, when I’m not at work, studying, or trying to sleep, I’ll be biking or eating. As you can see, it doesn’t leave much time for working on the web.

It’s a bad week for this to happen though, especially with all of the new domains I’ve recently registered. In addition to the ones I posted about the other day, I have one that just completed a transfer today. I had to buy it from someone who had it registered, so I’ve wanted to keep it quiet until it was in my name. I’ve got some pretty big plans for it, which I’m extremely excited about. It’s just too bad that I’ll have to wait until the weekend to get started on it. I’ve also purchased my own dedicated server, where I’ll be running all of my sites from. I have to transfer everything over to the server from my current hosting providers and update the domain names to use this new server. In that process, mtdewvirus.com might “disappear” for a day or two, but I’ll try to make the transition as smooth as possible. If anyone has any suggestions for this process, I’m all ears! Since I have my own server, I now have the means to host people’s sites with all of the extra space and bandwidth I’m paying for. If you are interesting in starting a site, or need a place to host your domains, contact me and I’ll see what we can work out.

As you can see, a busy week for me means a quiet week for the site. 😐
