  Gigantic nuclear furnace
A break in the rain at last!

It was still gloomy this morning, but it must be clearing up at least partially because Bill's energy server shows we are producing solar wattage. Yeah! I love our gigantic nuclear furnace. The middle table ("Outback MX-60 solar charge controller data") is the relevant one, the fields I use to guage how the day is going are "charger watts" (current power intake on the panels) and "daily solar kilowatt hours collected" (power collected through panels during current day so far). The server page is constantly improving as Bill tweaks it. The latest tweak is to use Ajax to update the page every two seconds - by updating only the relevant data and not the entire page. Bill describes the tweaks better here. The energy server page totally rocks, though. I keep getting reminded that most people don't really know how many watts they consume on a daily basis or what the wattage of most of their appliances is, and it seems strange to me, and then again I guess it's strange that it seems strange :)

I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good,
and the good becomes common as grass.
When the will to power is in charge,
the higher the ideals, the lower the results.
