My Nephew Conner, wanted me to put this on my blog, so here it is….maybe he’s going to be the next Sir Alan Sugar or Sir Richard Branson!

(no idea what it’s all about!). But if it helps him become a Millionaire, hopefully I’ll get a bite of the cherry!
Yes, 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….

Role Calls as follows:-
I 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!
and now……

You may notice today if visting Wikipedia you’ll be greeted with
It reads ”
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…
Google.com has a link on it’s homepage
Tell Congress: Please don’t censor the web!
We’ve now also, added the Christmas Tree lights outside, in the Magnolia Tree.
I also got a little bored, and decided rather than using a traditional plug-in 240v 24 hour timer, I would add them to the X10 Computer Controlled System, so I can turn them off via a VMware Virtual Server, running Windows 2008 Web Services!
Lindsey asked “Why?“ – I replied, because I can do stuff like that!
So in thoery I could grant access to this Website, on the Internet to turn them off remotely, or let other people turn them on or off!
The website is basic, but it functions, just need some graphics and CSS!
Update: I’d already written this blog, and submitted for publishing, before catching an Episode of “The Big Bang Theory” – The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarisation (s1e9) – at this very start of the episode, Howard Wolowitz also demonstrates a light and stereo being power-on via x10, and enabling public access to do the same thing, which Penny also states “Why?” – you can get a really cheap wireless remote from Radio Shack!
Okay, so I’m a nerd! But we all knew that!
about this time last year, I was Ranked around 115,000th!
