File Appropriation

Since abandoning the mobile phone idea I've had some spare time to get the fundamentals of data reporting into place. Using pseudo-random numbers and timestamps the LittleBrotherClient can now report with a time and a location. Obviously, once I've got my head around the GPS Receiver issue it will be able to report where it actually is.

LittleBrotherServer can also look up where these reports are stored. Once it has got the list of new files from the repository it can open and parse them, so we now have some data to play with on the Server side. When it's finished parsing it can remove the files from the store.
