As the version I was running was very old, there are some notes at the bottom of this post, as if like me you want to move to a more up-to-date implementation.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h observer password 'new-password'
Alternatively you can run:
/opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation
which will also give you the option of removing the test databases and anonymous user created by default. This is strongly recommended for production servers.

Sorry this is a few days late but thought I would share this. Apologies for the shocking English - nothing to do with me. Joking aside, anything that helps to address gender pay differences and domestic abuse etc can't be a bad idea. Sure somebody will come up with something as funny in November for International Men's Day.
If you need to know the specification of Windows you can open up a command prompt and run systeminfo and then ipconfig /all to find out the network information. One thing I found out today I thought I would share. If you run msinfo not only does it give you all the information you need but if you look under File there is an option to either export all the info for the machine or just the bits you need. So the next time someone asks what the specification of your Windows box is, you can easily provide it. Who would have thought it, a Windows tip from me.
I really wanted to like this little robot but there a few issues that are not made totally clear. Firstly, I can't work out if it a mini robot aimed at developers or a toy aimed at kids. Secondly, you need to have a device to run the Cozmo app which in itself is not too bad but to get the most out of it you need to connect that device using a usb cable to a laptop running the SDK, bit of a pain if I am honest.
