1. Google Maps JavaScript Library

   23 July 2011

   I was having a wee play about with Google Maps v3 Javascript API and decided to write up a simple js library.

   The library by no means does anything advanced, but it will allow you to fire together quick maps in the future for contact pages or other simple solutions.

   All code is available on github and you can tweak / reuse as you like.

2. The real-time web is here

   I've been looking at web sockets this evening and building a proof of concept to see how easy these new technologies are. socket.io is something I've been meaning to look at for months, it provides client -> server sockets on web pages and falls back to using other methods for browsers that don't support this new technology.
