Monday, July 29th, 2019I purchase this Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems from Amazon. It only took a few minutes to install, it took longer to read the Chinese manual, written in Chinglish!

Sensor Caps which secure to tyre valve (yes my wheels do need a clean!)

Trying to Grow Giant Pumpkins – 29 July 2019
Monday, July 29th, 2019This giant pumpkin plant is taking over like a triffid! This spell of rain we’ve had in the past few days, it’s really grown!
It’s started to flower so I’ve been selecting flowers and hand pollinating to get it to fruit.
Processor Upgrade Sunday
Sunday, July 28th, 2019This has been on my ToDo list for a while to upgrade the processor in my daily driver laptop. The laptop currently has a socketed Intel Core i7-2640M Dual Core 2.8GHz.
Intel Core i7-2640M Dual Core 2.8GHz.
The only issue is this laptop only activates two memory DIMM slots with the current Dual Core processor so the maximum RAM is 16GB.
Time to upgrade to an Intel Core i7-2960XM Extreme Edition Quad Core 2.7GHz.

My Bumble Bees in July 2019
Thursday, July 25th, 2019
The Bumble Bees are enjoying the warm weather, it stated it was 33/34 degrees C in my car this morning! This is the third year I’ve had bumble bees, they arrived on the 4th July, and are doing much better, ordering them later than earlier in the year, with the Summer forage now available.
External Temperature 33 Degrees C!
Andysworld! comes home!
Thursday, July 25th, 2019
It’s been just a little over 10 years ago that I migrated Andysworld! and all my hosting to the US, with
BUT – 20 days ago, I was left with
- No hosting.
- No email for 4 days.
There was no explanation of when it would return. So I’ve voted with my feet, and brought it all back to the UK, where I’ve been hosting with Krystal.co.uk since 2004, in one shape or form, when they acquired PurpleCloud!! (in 2011).
This is JustHost.com strapline – “Professional Web Hosting from Just Host – JustHost”
All I can say is…Just****.com.
So since I’ve moved it all back, there maybe some teething issues…
