Current Cost Monitor…

A couple of guys at work have managed to lay their hands on a funky new device called a Current Cost meter. It’s pretty simple to understand, it measures your household electricity usage and displays……

That’s really cool. You should come over to A block some time and see what my extreme blue kids are doing representing group status ambiently.

Nick -

Very cool ideas — and brilliant use for an Arduino Ethernet Shield. Do you know when it will be available? I’d love to get my hands on one!

That’s pretty cool. What I’d really like to see is something massively multiplayer. I’ve been thinking about elite, using http://www.uselesspickles.com/triangles/demo.html 3d technique, and the free comet server from my work. But really, I suppose anything multiplayer is cool. Have you seen kdice?

I’m getting some weirdness between my desktop and laptop with this game.
Works fine with FF3 on the laptop, but FF2 on the desktop is a bit wonky. Not sure if it’s FF2 or my desktop that is causing it.

Let me know if you have any issues.

Hi Dan,

good question - I’ve not come across anything that is specifically for use in the US but I’m sure they must exist.

Not sure if you could just a use currentcost over there; I suspect it makes an assumption about the voltage whilst making its calculations.

Hey Nick,

Do you know of any CurrentCost equivalents available in the US?

@roo - I got as far as giving different values to the pieces for landing them (no idea if the relative scores tally with what the real game does), but left the scores for completing lines as a simple multiple, rather than exponential.
