Absolute Power

At power.silverorange.com you’ll find a live dashboard of the electricity usage here at 84 Fitzroy Street. Some of the kilowatts you see flying by there are powering the server that is delivering this post to you. Very cool.

It’s not ALL of the power usage for 84 Fitzroy St. It’s only the top two floors which does included the server delivering this post but not the computer that made this post (located on the 1st floor).

We’ve upgraded the dashboard to have a nice woodgrain finish…

I guess that means I can power the grow-op in the downstairs closet back up. Thank goodness.

This is great — how difficult is it to set up something like this?
