Earth Hour
-
I decided to Spend this earth hour out and about in Sydney. Unfortunately I think I counted about 3 stores that had their lights off, and they were closed. Kind of disappointing how little Sydney gets behind an event.

"Hey!" she called out as the Syndey event was mentioned on the radio. "Tonight at eight we're gonna turn off the lights for Earth Hour." No. There's no reason for that. What, we're gonna sit in the dark for an hour? Go to bed five hours early? "Yes, we are. It's important. Besides, we can sit and watch a movie together" Ah, right. We'll kill the 60-watt lamp bulb and fire up the 400-watt TV+DVR+stereo combo. she rolls her eyes and stomps away...

Come on, it's an empty gesture. Getting a law passed to mandate LED lightbulbs would be fare more useful and every hour would be "earth hour" at that point.

Hello mate, We turned the lights off, closed the curtains so the neighbours didnt see and continued watching the telly. Whats news with you?
Not too much. Work is piling up like a Microsoft bug list but I'm managing. Thinking I might need to go through to the States in a few months to do a major presentation which could be fun. How's life on your end?

Kind of sad how people get behind a BS event like this and then think "I've done my part." Marc
Amen!

In SA it just gets done for us. In January, we had up to three 2 hour planned outages a day. Now we're down to one or two a week.

Sounds energy consuming.... Have you made sure to power down for at least an hour each week?
