Geeky ways to…heat your house.

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Ok, so the first in my “Geeky ways to…do things”. I have had a great idea of saving electricity for heating.

Let me ask you a question…how are you reading this? The geeks of you may be using a smartphone, a netbook, or maybe even a commodore 64 (if you are…please tell me, I’d be very interested). But many of you will answer “My desktop.” Ok, another question. What is one of your biggest problems with your desktop? The answer may be “I can’t fit anymore RAM in”, “I wish I had 2 PCI-E 16x slots” or possibly “I want a 3rd quad-core slot in my motherboard”. (Again, if you really have this problem, please tell me, I’d be impressed). But what I think most of you would say is “The cooling.”

Right, so we have decided 2 things…we have a desktop computer. And, we have problems cooling it. Now we shall decide something else…we pay too much for electricity on heating. I hope you can see where I’m going. 1 thing we need to cool down, another we need to heat.

So…get rid of your case on your desktop, direct the heat around your house, and hey presto…you have a heating system. For the even geekier of you, get rid of your server room. Stick them around the place, and they will heat it up just nicely. It may not be the most efficient way to heat your house…but you are using the electricity anyways.

Geeky ways to…do things.

Thursday, February 19th, 2009
2 things for this blog.

  1. I will be adding a new regular feature to my blog. “Geeky ways to…do things”. These will be random geeky things that will take you 10 times longer to do than normal, cost you 10 time more than normal, and be 10 times as harder to do than normal. But will earn you millions of geek-points. These will have the title “Geeky ways to…” and then whatever the thing is. This leads me on to my second point for the blog.

  2. My blog will also get an organisational facelift. So far in my mind to do, I am going to have my titles a lot easier to navigate. Most of my blogs will have a general start of title. Such as the “HowTO:” “Review:” “Video of the Week:” “Geeky ways to…” and the super secret “Rant:”.

    I am going to set up a wee list a the side of my blog which will allow you to see all the posts in any of my features (which just now only sits at “Video of the Week” and will very soon include my new “Geeky ways to…do things” as well as all of my general Title Starters.”

So yeah, I shall update you when I manage one of theses things. Granted, not a lot of them actually take much to do, but I don’t have much time with everything that I am doing.
