Finally entered the world of blogging. The charts are from my home power monitor and represent real-time power usage. Pachube is a beta service and sometimes they have problems so if the charts don't work right, just refresh the page. If that doesn't work, refresh again.
The dial guage is on a 15 minute refresh cycle but the various line graphs refresh only on a page reload. The graphs and such will change as I try new stuff out.
Meanwhile, take a look at my narrative on controlling the power usage of my home here in the desert. It's the tab at the top of these 'comments'.
