Just checked the last six months of half-hourly smart meter data to ensure my @octopus.energy billing is correct; which it is. w00t @philsteele.bsky.social Benefitted from a whopping 618kWh (£166) of free/powerup electricity over this period. That's over 2,000 EV miles. Cheers! #FutureGrid

Just read through my School Reports for S1 to S3 (1989-1991) and don't know whether to laugh or cry. This is a howler though...

Who doesn’t like 2 hours of free electricity between 8pm-10pm when it’s minus 6°C overnight! Thanks Octopus, that will see us through until the sunshine tomorrow and then some. Plus it has made me do the dishes and three loads of laundry 🤣

@foundationsofthedigitalstate.com Interesting video summary. I watched at 1.5X speed to give it an edge. Check out this 25 year old video (twenty five years!!) from BT's 'stepchange' eGovernment team: youtu.be/vf6cOjrH9H0?...
