18 Nov 08 The Motivation

The main subject of this blog (for now) is the recoding of my website SurfGuitar101 to the Django framework. This will now be known as “Operation SG101 2.0“.

So why take all this time and energy to convert a perfectly good, working website? That is actually a good question.

16 Nov 08 Welcome to my blog…

Greetings. This is Brian, aka, in some circles, Gremmie. Never in my right mind did I think I would start a blog. However I’ve recently started a web development project in Django, and I thought it would be fun to use a blog to document its progress, design decisions, and to receive feedback from other developers. Blogs seem to be thee way for web developers to exchange ideas these days, so I thought I would give it a go. I’m sure I will also throw in a post about my other interests from time to time: surf music and gaming.

Yes I am using WordPress, and yes I am using the default theme. I know the cool kids write their own blogging software as a rite of passage, but I am spending what little free time I have coding my main project in Django. I’ve never used WordPress before, but I’ll give it a whirl (mainly to show I don’t completely suffer from the “not invented here” syndrome). As for the default theme, I’m still looking for a good one.

More to come. Thanks for reading and be sure to leave me feedback!
