“One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you,
Don’t do anything at all,
Go Ask Alice
When she’s 10 feet tall…….”

Wireless (WiFi) Remote Control of X10 Modules using USB Remote Access
Sunday, December 20th, 2009- The Active Home Pro software is installed on/in a virtual Windows XP Professional computer, I don’t like cluttering up my main production Workstation which happens to be Vista 64-bit Ultimate.
- The CM15PRO Programmable Computer Interface is connected by USB to this computer. The Active Home Pro software is the software that drives the computer interface, I’ve saved the “house file” house.ahx on my NAS (network attached storage) device, so it can be easily shared on my network.
- This is the clever Tech bit, USB over Network by Fabula Tech, I’ve been using this software in the virtual work I do for a few years, and it allows you to share a USB device over your network, e.g. you can plug in you USB device on one computer, and connect to it on another via your network. Very handy… USB remote access!
- The USB over Network by Fabula Tech is installed on the computer connected to the CM15PRO Programmable Computer Interface. We will call this the server.
USB over network
The above snapshot, shows the USB over Network server software running, and the current USB devices attached to the server, which can then be shared, just like any resource, disk, printer etc.
USB over network device shared waiting for connection
The device is shared, and is waiting for a client computer to connect to it.
USB device properties
You can give the devices meaningful friendly names, that you’ll remember. On the client computer (remote computer), install another copy of Active Home Pro, making sure the drivers are installed for the CM15Pro. Run the USB over Network client software.
USB over Network client setup
Select USB Device, Add, browser for the computer or enter IP address. You should see, a list of devices that can be connected to.
Client connecting...
Right click the device, and click connect, if this is the first time you’ve connected to the device, you’ll get the usual, bing-bong tones, and plug N play will start and register the drives.
Now you can use your ActiveHome Pro software on another wireless (WiFi) computer, just open the *.AHX home file, from a shared location.
Client Connected to device
Happy Halloween from andysworld!

Blog outage again!
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009If you’ve not reached my blog today, received a Hello World, forbidden or otherwise, it’s because since 9.30GMT, the hosting server has been under a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack).
Just my luck…
andysworld! fault – blog stopped working!
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009I don’t know why, late last night at approx 12.00GMT the blog just stopped working! Maybe I need to put more money in the meter! I just found it down this morning at 6.30am.
Currently trying to work out why, I’ve not changed any running code for ages.
It looks like a backup module I use to backup databases and posts has stopped functioning, maybe due to the size of posts and stuff it’s trying to backup on the backend.
Whoops, sorry folks, and things were just getting exciting around here!
