The method for orthocenter is to find the slope of one of the sides and find the perpindicular line equation that passes through the opposite vertex of the side.
Repeat for another side and vertex
Find intercection
to summorize

Y-Y1=m1(X-X1)
Y-Y2=m2(x-X2)

if their are any other good tricks my eyes are open for new info.

Oh, well that makes sense. Still a bit of work, though.
