JSON or XML for AJAX
Just as you can store data in XML and access it without a browser refresh using AJAX you can also do the same with a format called JSON. JSON is simply short for JavaScript Object Notation, ie JSON is JavaScript. This means objects (information) is stored in a native JavaScript format.
This article will address pros [...]
LocalHero API documentation
Introducing the LocalHero API. Actually LocalHero has always had an APi to get data from the backend, it was designed and built that way from the beginning. But I have just got a around to adding some documentation so others can use it too….
These API’s are/will be the same as the ones I use throughout [...]

The main service a managed fund can provide is a reduction in risk. They do [...]
Lerderderg Gorge: Mackenzie’s Flat
Friedmans Scandinavian quandary
After reading today’s Crikey I felt I couldn’t let Guy Rundles article pass with comment.

Scandinavians are culturally industrious and Scandinavia is ethnically homogeneous (although this is changing). Their industriousness means they can afford the welfare state and [...]
Petes 30th
At 6 PM on the third of June at the Melrose Institue, Peter Shaw had a BBQ 30 years in the making. Many friends and team mates where there including most of the Dunneworthy team.
My cousin took a few shots of the night, although it would appear they are mostly of him and his mates, [...]
