Software
-
Google Chrome Extension for property info - a Google Chrome Extension that adds a context menu item.
Select an address in a website (e.g. Trade Me Property or realestate.co.nz), right click the selection and choose "Property Information". It opens the Auckland City Council property information for the address in a new tab.
-
Auckland schools mash-up - a Google Maps mashup of Auckland schools colour-coded by decile band. Also has the KML for Google Earth viewing.
-
VQToDo - a lightweight todo list with two levels, categories of todo items can be prioritised as well as the items themselves. Also has tiny built-in web server so todo categories can be exposed over HTTP.
-
VQEmbWeb - an ultra light-weight embedded Java web server born out of frustration with alleged lightweight web servers. This is seriously light-weight - you implement one interface that hands you the URL and the parameters, you return a response object.
-
VQWiki - a J2EE web app Wiki engine. I started this one at University and when it got too big handed it off to Martijn van der Kleijn in 2005.
