    My server has two X5675 CPU's and it pulls about 220 watts at full
    load according to my kill-a-watt meter. $10 a month or so I figure.

    Thats about the same as the x3220 I was using, I did have it loaded with HD's though too admittedly.To be honest maybe AGL scared the bejesus out of me too. :) I don't have much running here, no fridge, microwave, tv, washing machine etc etc. So I was a little surprised when they popped up and said, you're on target for a $400+ power bill. When the only thing running 24/7 is in fact said Acer Altos G330 MkII.

    Unfortunately, time is in short supply here. Money is also a
    (lesser) issue. My trip last week was very much a targeted single
    purpose trip. Had to keep it very short, and we only stayed for 90


    You're talking to the non eating, non-exercising (maybe that should be exorcising) :P skinny little dude that if he was a horse they'd take him out the back and shoot him. Free time is all that I have, pretty much all day
    every day. There are times when I do need to be otherwise engaged, but generally you can freely assume I'm free any time you're down.

    So now you know, you've got no reason to say something :P

    My issue that day was the trip was to help a friend with cancer.

    That's all good. I'm not trying to make a day trip out of it. If you're around, I can meet you somewhere convenient and hand the loot over. Then you get the chance to use it. I stop wondering if I'm wasting my time popping it aside.

    Well, if you have the time, you can always catch the train up, it is

    Last time I got the train, I got a bus because some fool had decided to find out what its like being run over by a train :/ My back doesn't enjoy trains much, I'm better in a car so long as I don't have to pedal much. So open road and cruise control is a winner.

    So, weekdays obviously work for you, which helps, as I tend to have
    more time on some weekdays. Except my training schedule has kinda

    Well like I mentioned, just say you're coming, where you're going to be, I can say hello give you the showbag and away we go. All done and dusted :)

    Cool, well at this stage, September 11 and 21 are goers if you're
    happy to come into the Botanic gardens area. After that, the last

    I haven't been near the Botanical Gardens in years. I guess you'll be pounding
    the tan around the outside. I wonder if that's near school hols, nope before school hols. Looking good there.
