Yesterday was the end of Mashed 08 – the annual London hackday from BBC Backstage.
I saw last week that there was going to be a “social responsibility” category in the hack challenge, and decided that a CurrentCost hack was in order!
Together with Rich, we spent a day trying to hack together a competitive challenge based around CurrentCost, encouraging people to reduce their home electricity usage by making it into a game they can play with their friends.
Here are a few notes based on the presentation I gave at the end.
