First of all…
I suppose that each of these so-called blogs has an entirely useless post by way of introduction, and in the case of the ‘G-string’, this is it.
My name is Dan Garland, I’m a musician and web entrepreneur, and I enjoy spending time creating things. I’ve had a website since I was a youngster, with a Geocities site containing jokes and other things. When the term blog first became an ordinary word, I couldn’t understand what the fuss was all about- after all, a blog is simply a website that you update more often, without an FTP client and text editor. So in my stubbornness I decided that rather than starting a blog using one of the free tools out there, that I’d write my own blog tool and use that. This mistake, which I have repeated many times, is the main characteristic in a Java developer, namely, to build a generic solution to imagined problems rather than addressing the issue at hand. In the end, I have decided to just give up and use Wordpress.
Perhaps I might elaborate on the title. I have taken the first letter of my surname, G, and combined it with String, because String is a common class of object-orientated computer languages, and when you combine them you get an important part of a guitar, and a type of pants.
I aim to use this blog to log difficulties and voice complaints about my experiences in developing websites, mainly because I am now unemployed and free to persue works of my own choosing. I have several truly award-winning ideas for web projects, the development of which I shall be charting in these pages.
Please feel free to join this blog and correct any mistakes I make.
