A heliostat is a device that tracks the sun's movement in the sky.
When such a device is set up to reflect the ligt to a fixed point in
space, it moves in a way which  is surprising and not intuitive. We
invite you to come and learn how at the web site of the online
community Green Life Innovators – "Green Tech the Open Source way"
You will find our wiki pages for the heliostat control system on:
http://www.green-life-innovators.org/tiki-index.php?page=Sunalign

But we are not a community that works with solar thermal systems only.
Everyone who works with green tech in one way or another is welcome to
join our community.

Are you interested in technology and environmental issues, but are not
the type of person to attend a protest march or to chain yourself and
other protesters together in front of a bulldozer?

Are you a person that would rather work for something than against
something,  a person that rather would spend time on environmental
issues in a constructive, creative and collaborative way than spending
time telling others what they should not do?

Then our community might be the right place for you.

Green Life Innovator is an online community built around a website
powered by the open source social networking tool Tikiwiki. A Tikiwiki
site, like ours is more than just a wiki engine. It also contains
online forums, blogs, image galleries, file galleries, articles, a
link directory etc.

Our community is built upon the philosophy that the knowledge of
clean, green environmentally sustainable technology should be freely
available to the whole of humanity.

The initiative is also about leading a greener life in a wider sense
than just making the technology you use greener.

To achieve this goal we would like to gather people with ideas in all
areas of green tech to come together on our web site and develop green
tech together through an open source model, in a similar way to the
way open source software is developed. And then share the knowledge
with the world.

It is free, easy and open to everyone in the world to become a member
of Green Life Innovators. Just sign up for an account on our web site
and you're in. So please join at www.green-life-innovators.org and be
part of building a vibrant and productive community for a greener and
cleaner future.

Kind regards

Looks like there may be some problems with the QBasic calculator. Seems to 
produce wrong results for southern hemisphere.
