I created this gadget to upload files to my webserver as ftp is firewalled in the company I am working for. I prepared it so that other people can install on their webserver as well, if they read the Readme on the gadget :-)

To work on the webserver I use this service, which costed me 15 euro for one year. It is a Unix shell via HTTPS that can be opened with a normal browser. Tunneling with httptunnel or corkscrew or any other trick did not work for me... Too stupid to break out without commercial support, ehm!

Joomla

Since beginning of the year I manage the local boy scout homepage with Joomla and I am very happy with this solution, last but not least released as Open Source.

Android emulator v2.0

I am experimenting with Eclipse, Android v2.0 and a tutorial a friend did... But I still do not have meaningful results. Some Java exception crashes the small application and the emulator does not work behind the proxy, even if the -http-proxy option is set in the launch parameters. Notice that the mysql trick works only with Android 1.6. Probably the proxy filters also on the browser identification string... and the emulator does not mimic a Mozilla or IE as identification... And the proxy is difficult to overcome...
