I always liked Winamp, especially the visualisations which were very trippy. But it's closing down as AOL do not want to keep it going. So if you want a copy grab it quick...

I have a problem in my area where the houses get a very high voltage supplied to them from the power grid, on average it's 250 volt here where it should be between 230 and 240, though my high voltage is within acceptable parameters (Just) it has negative side effects.

Appliances take more power than they need to.

Appliances tend to have a shorter lifespan.

I have to buy "low energy light bulbs" far to frequently, sometimes they blow within a matter of a few weeks and some have lasted just a few days, like the last one I got just 5 days ago, yup it lasted 5 days and it's not the first time it has happened.

So, starting to get a bit annoyed about it I wondered if there was anything that could be done to regulate the voltage to a sensible amount, that's when I found vPhase its a system that you have fitted in your house that keeps the voltage at 220 constantly.

Any thoughts ?

If you ever needed a graphic demonstration of what happens if you don't have enough downforce this would be it!!

Time for a Redbull methinks.....
