Done yesterday (20110216 We)

( raw notes )

A good IM conversation, and some good hugs and good wishes from some of the Wednesday night folks. I'm reaching out a little -- at least I've been able to notice that I need to. I don't yet have the ability to deepen a conversation; most if not all of my close friendships seem to have been started from the other side. Need to work on that.

I finally found out, with the help of Google, how to put text onto CDs. Now I need something that can read the damned things to test it with. (cdrdao can read it, but since that's what I use to write with it seems a little too circular to me.)

A few links. WTF are they thinking in South Dakota??!

The feeling of (reduced) power

The year's second utility bill wasn't quite as impressive as the first in terms of gas, but electricity usage continued to improve. I am now under 300% of baseline, which puts my marginal rate at $0.28, down from $0.40.

    Gas:  this year: 4.3 therms/day	  last year: 4.9
    Elec: this year: 24.5 KWh/day	  last year: 33.7

So on the whole I'm still pretty happy about the household's power consumption.
