Canada 2011: Seattle-Monday 29th August Seattle Day

As Felix is getting older, he's much more fun. I get less cuddles, though.
Felix now walks in a similar way to an adult. Rather than throwing legs forward to move, he leans and moves legs. When not wearing a nappy, it has the ease of anyone.
It’s been just over a year now since I moved out here to live in California and given the anniversary I figured some time in reflection would be in order.
I recently had a bit of a lapse of self control.
Roleplaying games are fun. They are a superb social activity and idea furnaces. A clutch of like minded imagineers jointly build a story together and for each of us the epic will be remembered in our own way. As a GM, I only plant the seed of the idea, the story itself is the purview of the players. It's them that make it great.
After yet another crash on friday I finally got sick of having a barely functional machine (which would crash after minutes in any normal game, and would even regularly go in Minecraft, not known for its heavyweight requirements...).
I have been investigating with different API structures (REST, XML-RPC and SOAP) as part of work and I think it's a good time to talk about the Chom 4 Application Programming Interface.
The Chom 4 API will allow other developers to easily get at data in Chom Isis and perform some actions without visiting the web page.
