Personal Story from the founder, Zim Lin / “A. F. Bach”
I did some website work on the side, although it was using other people’s themes. Eventually the thought occurred to me that I should finally have a website of my own. I thought of designing something very special just for myself, imagined how it would look and behave before I wrote any code. I decided to challenge myself if I could make my website exactly as I imagined it, and I succeeded. Since I was successful I’ve decided to try selling my website design skills.
In addition, I had created a digital harpsichord out of the old Yamaha OPL3 chip from DOS PCs. I kept playing different types of music on it and adding MIDI features inspired by real harpsichords and electric guitars. So I’ve decided it’s time to try selling it too.
In all honesty, I don’t know if anyone would actually be interested in renting my “harpsichord,” but well, you have to actually do it to find out!
