    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".

    Anyone up for a class-action lawsuit to sue the Sun for lost revenue? :T

    On a much bigger scale, a nice 2 GW uplift in transmission demand as all that distributed solar generation dropped offline yesterday morning. Lots of pumped storage filling in the gap!

    I was late leaving for work when the eclipse happened. As 2 of my inverters are outside I happened to glimpse up at them and both had shut down.
    Didn't help that it had clouded over just before the main eventsmiley-sad056.gif
