About Dan

This is Dan Gilleland’s blog site hosted as a GitHub User Page. I have a few repositories and gists posted on GitHub. Checking out my profile is the best way to get an idea of what I’ve got posted here.

I’ve worked full-time in Information Technology (mostly teaching) since the late 1990s. My own interests in computers, however, goes way back to the late ’70s, when I first began learning how to program in high school.
