Re: [ubuntu-uk] wireless mouse

[Gary Cordery]

I will try and dig up the bug, its only affecting the Microsoft mice as far
as I know. My wife has suffered from it for the last couple years, really
evident when she switches from windows to Ubuntu but as stated in the
original email if you unplug and put back in its fine for a while.

This has been a known bug on Ubuntu for a long while now unfortunately.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] advanced metering reader software (electricity)

[Gary Cordery]

I use http://openenergymonitor.org/  and i am very pleased with it,
features growing steadily with a nice community behind it, all open
source/open hardware.

My dash is at http://emoncms.org/tailzer if you want to check out what I
capture currently.
As a bonus the guys who created it run Ubuntu :0)
