Thoughts and hints

Ok, so not a blog as such - but things that have either frustrated us or struck us as important - often after a good browse around with Google... There's that line from one of the Jurassic Park films about "standing on others shoulders" - and that's exactly what programming is about these days - find someone else who has solved the problem and been kind enough to share it. This is our contribution and thanks to all those who have gone before...
