Yeah, can be bit of a nuisance how the current design hides the older
episodes.  Our target was every fortnight, but on many occasions we
haven't managed this!  However, at the moment, there is a longer than
normal wait - as we are currently on a season break.  :(

Power consumption goes straight over my head of interest :). The only
time i really take note of power use, is when i'm paying per Amp in a
datacentre. :)  However, in that episode, I think i did bring up the
subject of power usage to one of the other presenters (who hasan
interest in power usage), and at that stage they weren't aware. 
However, the thought was there. :)

Great to hear!  We always like to hear feedback (both good and bad). 
Perhaps when we restart you come email [0] us, and perhaps enter the
