Sometime you forget flowers grow wild as well. Snapped this one in a big patch of weeds.

You've got to love cheap Chinese eBay electronics. If they work that is :)

Finally caved and got a USB 2.0 card for my aging Dell machine.

My first LG "Hello World" application.
Just need to test it on my phone now ;)

I wonder if my Java skills are too rusty to come up with anything useful.

When I'm bored I go and play with the servers.

Stupid me forgot to hand my camera off so no picture of me holding it.

Thanks to the comment on my previous post I have got the network card on the Windows 7 VM working.

After installing the VMWare tools I had to remove and re-add the "virtual" network card to get it working.

Here it is running our application without problems it seems.

The Windows 7 problems start.....

It can't find a driver for the VMWare's virtual network or sound cards, even although other people haven't had issues with installing it on VM Fusion.

Same on VirtualBox as well.
