The weather was a little dull and wet first thing. The Silver Vixen wanted to get some gardening done, and GF thought it more gallant to help than to set out on his planned walk.
Much of the afternoon has been spent on the computer. GF has been looking at some Open Source software that may be of use for the Silver Vixen as she expands her quilting hobby. The software looks quite impressive, but depends on a software stack that includes:
- PostgreSQL
- Tomcat
- Ant
- SUN's latest JDK
This has ended up a slight problem because try as he may, he cannot download the SDK... or indeed anything from SUN. As soon as he hits the key (on Firefox or IE) it displays a page saying Fatal Exception. GF has read their various Forum entries, but found no sensible cure. He concludes that SUN have lost the plot... or are using one of their own servers (and it's down as you would expect).
Not at all impressed!
