Re: Ripple energy "strike off"

I have occasionally been logging into the Ripple dashboard to check whether 1st Energy have complied with my request to Delete-my-Data. I sent that deletion request about two weeks ago. Yesterday the Ripple dashboard still showed my personal info, but turbine-output-info appears to have stopped upda...

Re: Ripple energy "strike off"

Thanks to jonc_uk for editing out [ above, in this topic ] the personal email of the Graig Fatha committee person.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

Please remind me of the £value of 96 Octopoints - it's been a long time since I've bothered to force export for an SS.
