Wasted my time making a course webpage on Sat, but the html codes were then thrown away in less than 4 hours. Another guy and I were supposed to create a course webpage. I suggested that a text based webpage would be sufficient, and he agreed and said that we can just follow another webpage from another lecturer. We agree to start writing after lunch as he has to go for lunch with someone, just came back from the state. I didn't want to eat, so I waitedfor him, and at the same time, trying to code on my own. Then I wait until 4pm and he's still not back and my version of the webpage is done. I had to leave to meet my friends for dinner. So I left a message for him, asking him to feel free to make any modification. That's the biggest mistake of saying that. He ended up writing a brand 'new' webpage. He followed every *single* detail of the original webpage, things like color, bulletting, navigation style and even phrasing of title (e.g. "Homepage of xxx course" instead of "Course webpage of xxx"). He copied 101% of the original. The reason he gave was "I loved the webpage too much in my undergrad days". That's fine with me. You can be religous in something. But I wouldn't waste my time if I had known earlier.
