The harder part was figuring out which files were going to be partially lost due to those sectors. After racking my brain on how I could convert those sectors into filenames and getting nowhere, I realized that was a very simple way of finding out: just read all the files and log the errors.
kaleidoscope tour/the intro video was nice
the video screens were nice-ish, but the resolution quite poor and the rendering not so good
looks like old 200 lines interlaced CRTs we used to have :)
it was nice to see the singers during their song, but as nice as live appearances
yes, he thinks he looks cool in big. I suppose that's somewhat true :)
don't pay attention to the OS on the left, it was being removed :)
the meter that does gathering and resending to my monitoring server
the probe gathering boxes (gets volts and amps)
this shows the CTs that measure current from their induced magnetic field

Unfortunately the solar panels are facing south east and south instead of south west where they would produce more when electricity is worth more. That is a more interesting example in September showing that despite having used more electricity in a day than what was produced, the daily bill was still negative thanks to the time of use magic, even it our case where we only get partial benefit from TOU due to the sub optimal south east angle for some of our panels:

This is where cacti comes in. I spent a fair amount of time looking for a graphing solution that would keep all my data and let me zoom on any portions I wish. Quite frankly, the fancy widget that google uses in google finance would have been what I was really hoping for, but baring that, cacti came like a reasonable alternative. So, I came up with a compound graph that looked reasonable, and the option to see all the graph items separately. So since this is about solar panels, one of my questions to Cobalt Power was why my system was spec'ed for 5Kwh at peak and why I was typically seeing 4.5-4.7Kwh at best. The reason is that 2/3rd of the panels are pointing south-south-east and the remaining 3rd is pointing due south.

I see here that you want to have new prices set for your account, correct? Marc_(Wed Nov 04 2009 15:45:29 GMT-0800 (PST)) this is a long running problem where I am forced to use your descrambling box against my will since I have QAM64/QAM256 capable TVs and DVRs I've already talked to your executive staff several times about this and basically they just lower my price since I only watch 7 of your channels, 3 of which now needlessly force me to use and pay for the DCH 3200 tuner/descrambler That price adjustement just timed out so I'd like you to re-enable it :) Marc_(Wed Nov 04 2009 15:46:02 GMT-0800 (PST)) so basically if you can reset the old price, that would be fine It's still more than what I should pay for 7 channels, but it'll do Rotcelyn(Wed Nov 04 2009 18:46:59 GMT-0800 (PST)) I understand your concern.
