- @dominiccampbell right, more emotive wording might help prompt action, tho the issue has been recognised, so why not sort it out!

- followed @monkchips example and installed FF 3.1 No issues so far, seems quicker at rendering pages
- like the Ctrl+Tab feature in FF 3.1 to switch between recent tabs
- w00t! my Viglen MPC-Ls are on their way!
- @SteveRichards urgh, hope you start to feel a bit better quickly
- just signed up for Disqus, was never really happy with coComment
- @dahowlett thx for the warning, will tread carefully!
- @vruz coComment was clunky and unreliable, not picking up comments, incorrect titles, just doesn’t cut it IMHO. Not been back in ages
- cleaning out some old programs…
- @chrisgrice thx for the tip, made me realise I had installed the alpha build, not the beta 1 sorted now!
- @vruz nice, will have a play and try to get it integrated with my blog
- oh bugger, uninstalling the FF 3.1 alpha took all my personal settings etc with it!
- @Alex_Manchester thx, I’m only a little green right now!
- getting very frustrated that the internal wiki is so *SLOW* !!
- @TomRaftery @parislemon even if you do speak Spanish there are times when you don’t know what your going to get! More fun like that anyway!
- @wideawakewesley Symphony is pretty good, easier to use than Office 2007
- @pedrorq not sure, but its slow enough for me to have one between each edit!!
- @TomRaftery disgraceful! and we hold out in hoping the US will face up to its environmental and climate responsibilities?
- @benpoole Confluence. Great app, nice features, just current performance sucks.
- Retweeting @laurisa: “10 yrs ago, you had to provide business justification for email address #w2eb” nice reminder of progress!
- @benpoole thx Ben, @094459 any useful resources out there I could pass on to the admin team?
- @mastermark not if you use Microsoft as an example
- @mastermark Fair enough!
so was your question “is it” or “should it”? I guess it depends where the revenue ends up - Retweeting @monkchips: “@kittel with the economy the way it is i think its more likely the US is going to uranus… buddum tsch” Classic!!
- @briansolis post it, ithe decision sucks, a great opportunity for some good PR doing the “right thing” missed big style, and poor lass!
- RT @Bluemapia How to give up everything and ‘retire’ onto a sailing boat Maybe one day!

The average American uses 11400 Watts of power continuously. This is the equivalent of burning 114 x100 Watt light bulbs, all the time. The average person globally uses 2255 Watts of power, or a little less than 23 x100 Watt light bulbs.
What are the consequences of us all using this much power?
What is the implied challenge of global warming in terms of how we produce power?
What are the things we do as individuals in terms of using power that we might change?
