The starter motor or solenoid has become faulty on my car, and I cannot start it, when I turn the keys in the ignition, it just goes click!
So I’ve been out this morning with a mirror and digital camera, trying to work out what the model number is!

and it’s typical the label’s burnt through that must have been where the smoke came from. But I think it’s M001T80481!

I just need to find out how to remove it now!

and just after I posted this, I noticed that the Real-Time Energy Usage how started to work on the website, and this could only be working, if computers are sending data to the Internet via fixed ADSL!

My broadband failed today at 12.10, whilst I was trying to obtain car insurance, after a call to Eclipse Internet, and trying six routers, and a Thomson ST330 USB ADSL Modem, my broadband is kind of faulty somehwere between here and Eclipse Internet.
(Thomson is now called Technicolor, so if you after Thomson drivers for your USB modems, head this way).
So I’m operating on my Huawei E585 via 3G.

Okay, the latency is slow, but that’s to be expected, but the download speed is the same as I paying Eclipse Internet. Three (3) costs me £5 a month, unlimited, Eclispe Internet £24.99 (well it will be 2.5% more now!).
Might need to think about a fixed 3G Router for the future!

Trying something different today, I’m having a day of remote working via an iPad and 3G. To check to see what average data usage allowance I use in a day. So far and it’s only been a few hours checking email and a few websites, I’ve Sent 5.8MB and Received 131MB.
I’m also using an iPad blog applet as well to post this, to reduce data usage.
The Suzuki needed a MOT today, yes it’s been almost three years we’ve had it, so I’m buying time in Morrisons’ cafe waiting for the car. My banger is off the road at present because the starter motor or solenoid is broke.
Mr Apple saving you money!
This is an odd message you cannot update large apps via 3G. I hardly think 20MB is a lot!
Mr Apple is obviously helping you save money!
UPDATE:- My Dad had a moan about the grammer, so I’ve corrected it”

This will be my last post of 2010, and to all readers a Happy New Year 2011, a may it be a Prosperous One!
It’s been the coldest December in North Yorkshire since 1840, ball cock froze, drain pipe froze, pipes froze, and the ground is just starting to thaw, after tomorrow I think all the snow may have gone, that fell in late November 2010.
Here are a collection of photographs taken in December 2010, to remind us of those cold dark days
All the best for 2011 – Folks…

This is probably going to bore the pants of most of you, but it’s information for me really. I’ve been wanting to monitor real-time temperatures of ALL tanks in the fish house for a while, so this is just a test, these tanks are under contiuous monitoring at present, linked to Internet, by uploading real-time charts, emailing me real-time data every minute and also Alerting me by Text Message to my Mobile Phone or Fixed Landline.
Temperature (as are other water parameters) is critical to tropical fish, under temperature of over temperature if a heater should fail. I can also monitor pH, redox potential, conductivity, water levels, oxygen content and air pressure, if I wish using different probes.
