Earth Hour

Hey, so it's half way through Earth Hour. It would seem rather pointless turning off a 6 Watt CFL light while still running computers which are probably using 300 Watts between them. (They ask us to turn off non-essential electrical equipment, which doesn't include computers in this house :-) )
Instead, I'll commit to shutting down at least one machine when I go to bed each night. Which means that I'll no longer have fresh data for contributions such as "My Opera session has been running for 15 days and it hasn't leaked any memory or slowed down".
We're off to the local sustainable living fair next weekend. Hmm - the earth hour website must be getting hammered - it arrived sans stylesheet at 537 b/s.
