Electricity tariff is UP!

Like everything else the price of eletricity has gone up effective 1st July 2008. The announcememnt was made when the fuel pricce went up but now its come in effect.

I don’t think ill be effected too much by this because i hardly use much power and im mostly out anyway.But imagine those big families, surely going to be a pinch.

I logged onto the tnb website and saw the below notice ->

	No increase for domestic / household consumers with consumption of up to 200kWh (or RM43.60).
	Lower percentage increase for low voltage industrial and low voltage commercial consumers with monthly consumption of up to 200kWh, compared to consumers in their respective categories
	The 10% discount for government schools, government institutions of higher learning, welfare homes and places of worship is maintained.

	Call 1300–88–5454
	Fax 03-7960 0343/0348
	E-mail tariff@tnb.com.my
	Visit the nearest TNB offices or Kedai Tenaga

So from that notice it clear that TNB are still on Natural sources for power generation
- Coal
- GAS

Ok, this is the bit that puzzles me. The environment is a very important topic that the whole world is lobbying and large companies should be exploring alternate power sources to replace the dependency on natural sources(which will run out).

Green power may cost more to implement and but in the long run, isnt it the more logical choice? Its sustainable and it doents damage the environment. Coal and Fuel involve some burning in one way or another and seriously, is anything being done ??

Here are some tips on how you can save power at home, to save you some money and also reduce the damage by the coal and gas that are being burnt to generate that power that we all need.

- Only use the air conditioning when you really need it

- Your computer doesn’t need to be on for 24 hours, turn it on when you need it!!

-  Change your bulps to energy savers, they are low on power consumption and last much longer than conventional bulps

- Turn off those appliances that are on standby (standby = power consumption)

- Do your laundry once a week (its saves you power and time to wash and iron your clothes once a week!)

All these basic steps can not only save you a extra buck but save you some precious time and indirectly, your doing your part to reduce the damage on the environment!!

Have you got any other tips??

Defrag Tools

Im one of those who diligently cleans up my disk space and defrag’s my notebook at least once every 1 weeks. I dont know if its neccesary but its a habit for me. All this while ive been using the normal disk cleaner and defrag tools of Vista but lately i started using CCleaner for a clean up and i think its pretty decent so far.

Now its time for a external app to do the defrag for me, jsut to see if its any better.

Below are a list of candidates

• Wincontig
• Auslogics
• PageDefrag
• JkDefrag
• Defraggler
• SpeedDefrag
• DisKeeper (non-free)
• O & O Defrag (non-free)
• Ashampoo Magical Defrag (non-free)
• Contig
• PerfectDisk (non-free)
• DefragNT
• Ultra Defragmenter
• Power Defragmenter (based on Contig)

Any ideas which would do the job well??
