I was so proud...

...of getting all this working:

I've got Windows Vista on my laptop connecting by bluetooth to my mobile phone, and using it as a modem via its GPRS connection.

On the top of that, I'm running a VPN tunnel to the Physics department to allow MATLAB to access the license server.

 

All so I could do some work while I waited for the gas man to show up (he never did).

Done
