I have been doing a lot of programming this afternoon. I did not quite get the program finished… the one from this morning I mean. But it is almost there. I am waiting on acceptance on part of a quote, although I have done the work. In this case I don’t think that the client will say no. And I was prepared to do the work for free anyway. <\/p>\n

I have also been doing some other tracking stuff. Some of it is boring and some is interesting… But I will write about the interesting stuff later. <\/p>\n

Dr Strangelove<\/h2>\n

I just saw a ‘short’ for the movie Dr Strangelove. This is a movie I saw once a few years back. The line was ‘Gentleman, You can’t fight here; this is the war room!<\/i>‘ with great irony noted. The last schene from this movie is a classic. Actually this whole movie is a classic. The correct name for the movie is Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb<\/a> and was directed by Stanley Kubrick with Peter Sellers playing a few of the characters in the movie. <\/p>\n

Railway WiFi<\/h2>\n

TechWorld<\/a> has an article on how the WiMax technology being used by UnWired has been placed onto a train from London to Brighton for use by customers. This is a great use of the technology. I used this type of thing (but much slower) on one occasion in London when I was there last year, and found the results poor.<\/p>\n

VB.Net Programming<\/h2>\n

I have a vague recollection of this programming problem. I had a WebService returning a variable. But it caused an error if the result was equal to System.DBnull. And I could not work out how to trap the error. The easy way turned out to not try to do anything except to add .ToString to the end. dr(“hardware”).ToString rather than just dr(“hardware”) was what was needed.<\/p>\n

Tracker<\/h2>\n

This is a Rabbit connected to a data radio for a project…
