Andysworld! new logo and identity on the internet

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

I was getting bored with the stock template image, and although I had changed it from the default blue to green, I’ve been wanting to change it for a while. As you may have noticed we have a new “clickable Logo “. If you click it, it will return to the homepage (root of the website).

Andysworld New Logo and Indentity

I’ve been testing VMware View 4.6 (Virtual Desktops using PCoIP) experimenting with Windows 7 64 bit Professional and Adobe Photoshop CS5 64 bit, using virtual desktop workstations. I wanted to test fully, so I spent a few hours testing Adobe Photoshop Cs5 (64 bit) and Corel Paint Shop Pro x3 to check what performance was like testing the in the Cloud! I think the performance was better than installing it on my standard PC.

As more web site traffic comes to Andysworld! than it did five years ago, I’ve decided it’s time for a facelift, so the logo is the start.

As you may have noticed I “borrowed” the theme for the logo, from a well known Search Engine, if it works for them! the random colours in the logo, reflect the choas in my life, from one day to the next!

Hozelock Water Timer Instructions

Monday, June 13th, 2011

To regularly water my hedge automatically I am going to use a Hozelock AC4 Water timer.

Hozelock AC4 and AC1+ Garden Water Timers

Hozelock AC4 and AC1+ Garden Water Timers

I have removed my Hozelock water timers for storage over winter to protect them from frost. I also remove the batteries from the units, to prevent battery leakage, and insert new batteries the following year. The only problem is I have forgotten how to program them, and I can never find the instructions , and Hozelock do not have the older models listed on their website anymore, just the newer timers.  Programming is not very user friendly or intuitive, So for myself and other readers (or Googler’s (hi!)), I’ve stored the manuals here, so they can be found. (next year!)

Hozelock Instruction Manuals

Hozelock AC1 Model 2705 (old model) Timer Instruction Manual (pdf)

Hozelock AC1 Model 2705 (current model) Timer Instruction Manual (pdf)

Hozelock AC1+ Model 2700 – Timer Instruction Manual (pdf)

Hozelock AC2 Model 2706 Timer Instruction Manual (pdf)

Hozelock AC4 Model 2707 Timer Instruction Manual (pdf)

Hozelock AC Pro Model 2701 Timer Instruction Manual (pdf)

What is odd, is that current Hozelock water timer model all have the same model number 2705, as the old model!

Next year, I’ll know where to find the manuals! In the Cloud!

This was a photograph that Lindsey took, over looking our house in the background, when we walked to the polling station in May.

You can see the “shire” where we live in the background.

Privet Hedge maintenance complete

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Finally complete the border for the privet hedge today, the weather held off this afternoon to complete the rest of the border, Lindsey also help me, so it did not take much longer to complete the border for all the hedge and install the Hozelock water soaker. I just need to install the time I have in the fish house, so it can water the hedge twice a day, for an hour each time, and I need to add the fertilizer, and hopefully the hedge will grow and fill in the bare patches.

So if the weather is good tomorrow, cut the lawn and hedge!
