I think I shall carry on regardless...

Open Source Web Design

Open Source Web Design has 1694 templates for web sites. Some of them must be good!

MS Expression Web

Microsoft Expression Web is now available as a free trial.

It would be nice if it was just free. Anyway, I haven't tried it yet...

Wind Power

An interesting article from the Guardian on mini wind turbines.

I think these are only an option if you are about 30 feet above any other houses nearby. Turbulence cuts down the output.

It would be nice though, to have something that generated electricity at night or in stormy weather to fill in the times when the solar panels are not generating.

Solar PV 2006

This chart shows our Solar PV electricity production for 2006. In total we generated 885.55 kilowatts. We consumed 2,728.9 kilowatts.

So, the solar panels produced almost one third of the amount of electricity we took from the grid.

As we don't have an export meter we don't know how much we actually used, but some of the solar output would have been exported.
