Monday, April 6th, 2009Performance Appalling
Monday, April 6th, 2009I’ve still got MySQL code issues, importing and converting from the old blog software to the new WordPress blog software. I’ve now also turned off the home page because I’m not happy with the performance on this server platform, I wanted to upgrade to WordPress to increase performance, but the home page is not loading correctly.
Tomatoe seedling update
Sunday, April 5th, 2009Since transplanting the seedlings into 3″ pots, they’ve started to romp away and grow very quickly. Here are some updated photos. The only small issue one of my trays has sprung a leak so when watering, water gets on my shoes, underneath in the shoe rack. I’ve applied a little bit of science this year in growing tomatoes, rather than plant any seeds, I’ve gone for early cordon and bush varities. I’ve only planted half the allocation of seeds I received, the other half can be used next year, but out of this half, only 1/4 germinated, but I still have too many plants for me! So I’l be gving some away! The varities being grown are:-
Bush Varities
- Red Alert
- Tumbling Tom Red
- Gartenpearle
Cordon Varities
- Black Cherry
- Money Maker
- Alicante
- Tigerilla
- Golden Sunrise
- Genovesa Costoluto (Italian seeds)
-
- Tomatoe plants, cordon varieties

The porch where they are located was getting a bit cold at night, and also there is a small damp issue, because of a poorly fitted damp course, so I’ve installed a Glen tubular electric heater on a timer, thermostatically controller, so if the temperature falls below 20 degrees C, between the hours of 12.30 – 7.30 GMT, the 200 watt heater comes on. (I’m on Economy 7, so 200 watts of electric is neglible, when your average is 3 kwatts a day!).
Potatoes in exhibitor bags
Sunday, April 5th, 2009I’ve now planted all my potatoes , first and second earliers, salad and main crop in exhibitor bags. Not having an allotment or space to put a row of potatoes in (unless I did up the lawn, now there’s an idea, wouldn’t need cutting then!), exhibitor bags will have to do for the moment.

No pictures or links
Saturday, April 4th, 2009the only problem now, is WordPress doesn’t understand bbcode or any of my links or pictures! This is going to take longer than I thought…
Increased memory allocation for script
Saturday, April 4th, 2009I increased the memory size required for the script, and it runs okay.
I included this in the script
ini_set(“memory_limit”,”256M”);
The script runs perfectly, and imports the contents from both blogs into WordPress.
Export
Friday, April 3rd, 2009I tried to export the contents of the current blogs, to import into WordPress (new blog software), and it failed with a
Connected to database for blog FishHouse Blog!
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 131071 bytes) on line 135
I wonder what that means?
These times are changing…
Friday, April 3rd, 2009These times are changing it’s been five years, I’ve been blogging, and the software I’ve been using has run it’s course and it’s time to upgrade to something more current. Over the next coming months, I will try and merge aquablog and our house blogs into one blog, with different categories, rather than two seperate blogs which is how they exist at present. This will allow me to blog in more specific categories, fish house, garden DIY, car, computers, internet etc, you get the general idea. So you can select a category (section) to read, rather than ready all the rubbish I blog about. The FishHouse Blog! and Our House blogs haven’t moved and are still there. Just click the links to access them. Eventually they will be merged into categorys (sections) here.
Real-Time Energy Usage on Blog
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009Real-time energy usage readout of electricity used in our house is now available for all to see. Average consumption is approx 3000 watts (3kW). If it increases to approx 6000 watts (6kW) then someone in the household has put the kettle or cooker on for tea! Between the hours of 12.30 – 7.30 GMT Economy 7 starts and in the winter the storage heaters turn on, so expect some high wattage readings between these hours.
Just refresh the web-page to see it change.
I blogged about this here.
First Earlies
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009I’ve planted out my First Early potatoes today in exhibitor bags, and dug out over 216 litres of organic compost from the compost heap to fill the bags. I’m a little tired!
