Andysworld! is back, and fixed!
Sunday, February 5th, 2012Yes, sorry for the few days outage, it would appear that a Wordpress plugin just decided to go bad!
and the answer is or was:-
The Plugin “Tweet This”! I”m running version 1.5.1
Adds a “Tweet This Post” link to every post and page. Shortens URLs in advance through Th8.us (19 characters). Customize under Settings > Tweet This. By Richard X. Thripp.
there is new version 1.8, but I do not like upgrading for the sake of upgrading, and not being able to upgrade to 3.3.1 of Wordpress because if the php on the host, and most plugins are now designed for 3.3.1…
Stange how a plugin went bad. I’m going to leave for a few days….
Shoutouts and thanks to the Guys at Experts-Exchange.com

Andysworld! downtime!
Saturday, February 4th, 2012I shutdown Andysworld! for 12 hours, (between Feb 4 00:00 and 13:00) because I was having issues with the performance and database, But I suspect the issue could be with my home broadband throughput.
in the process of checking the database, the website may have sent out, emails by mistake if you are registered on Andysworld!
Whoops!
Sorry about that!
Hopefully back to normal, and was nothing!
Frozen @EclipseInternet Broadband!
Friday, February 3rd, 2012Everything else freezes around here, so why not my Broadband “wires”
It sounds like food you have with chips and peas!
Again, I’m having broadband issues, for the last four days, during the twilight hours, under clear Yorkshire Wolds skies, the temperature has been falling to -7 degrees C, and I have a theory this causes a fault on the line! It just seems very coincidental, if we get a cold spell or very hot spell my Broadband has issues. Recently spoke to Eclipse Internet, that states that four other Eclipse Internet users on the Exchange also had issues this week, at the same time, so it was suggested it was BT, playing with their Exchange!
I’ll think I’ll be opening that call again Eclipse Internet!
Here are some lovely test results

Citroen Xsara Modification - Guiness fuled car!
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012Do I need to notify the insurance company I’ve got a Guiness fuled car!
In the damp, cold, wet January weather guesss what I’ve been doing today?
The exhaust dropped off the car yesterday, so I’ve been trying to fix the exahust with a
Diet Coke Can - didn’t work,
Heinz Backed Bean Can - didn’t work,
Draught Guiness Can minus the widget fixed it!
I later took it to a garage to get a price to replace the exhaust, and they spotted they following:-
- two front tyres are illegal (caused by tracking!), and need replacing.
- two front brake disks on the front are badly corroded and need replacing.
- and I just need a centre pipe for the exhaust!
So I just need the cheap centre pipe to the fix the exhaust!
Oh well that’s not too bad!!!
Arnie my 18″ Arrowana died today.
Friday, January 20th, 2012Arnie my 18″ Arrowana died today.
I’ve just visited the fish house, and found him mysteriously dead. He was okay this afternoon, possible heart-attack, he did not look like he had been attacked by Ernie the Giant Red Tailed Gourami.
I was given Arnie, in October 2009, he was approx 9″, the previous owner was feeding him cockles and mussels, which is not good for their diet, because of the fat content, and can cause fat behind the eye, causing drop-eye. Arnie had slight drop-eye, in one of his eyes, which I think had got much better. I spent many months,
weaning him off cockles and mussels, onto raw King Prawns and Whitebait, he was a stubborn fish, and I had to feed him occasionally with a chain mail butchers glove! because he would jump out and snatch the food from my fingers, and occasionally would bite my fingers and hand in the aquarium.
I do not get attached to many fish, but I’ll miss Arnie!
Wikipedia protesting against SOPA and PIPA!

It reads ”

Without Free Knowledge
For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia. Learn more.”
As I type this reddit.com is about to go dark in the next 20 minutes, it was also hoped that Google, Facebook and Twitter my join…
