Just getting started with node, and trying to get the mongo driver to work. I've got my connection set up, and oddly I can insert things just fine, however calling find on a collection produces craziness.
var db = new mongo.Db('things', new mongo.Server('192.168.2.6',mongo.Connection.DEFAULT_PORT, {}), {});
db.open(function(err, db) {
    db.collection('things', function(err, collection) {
//          collection.insert(row);
        collection.find({}, null, function(err, cursor) {
            cursor.each(function(err, doc) {
                sys.puts(sys.inspect(doc,true));
            });
        });
    });
});
If I uncomment the insert and comment out the find, it works a treat. The inverse unfortunately doesn't hold, I receive this error:
        collection.find({}, null, function(err, cursor) {
            ^
TypeError: Cannot call method 'find' of null
I'm sure I'm doing something silly, but for the life of me I can't find it...
