useful articles

Rather than have to keep my work and home bookmarks synchronised by mailing my email account every time i find something useful, so. here is a list of useful articles i've found.

I intend to use a bit of ajax for a few of the pages cos
A) the way i'll use it will really speed up what the user has to do
