Happy Earth Day! It looks like it will be a lovely day around here to go out and enjoy the earth. In honor of the occasion, I am going to try and change my habit of leaving my computer on all the time, which I believe is better for the hardware, but is obviously wasting a lot of energy. I have a lot of making up to do, I've been running a PC 24/7 for something like 10 years straight now, but I can at least start by shutting it down overnight (of course the first time it fails to boot in the morning will probably put an end to this).
