Keeping Your Apartment Cool in the Summer Time?

Posted by Cliff on from the keeping-your-air-temp-in-the-comfort-zone dept.

uvince asks: "Sure, the air is on all day at work, but when you are at home and it warms up (as the west coast is now) what do you do when a fan just won't cut it? Do you install a swamp cooler, set out a standing air conditioner, or install some air conditioner that fits in the window. How can I keep my apartment, or at least my bedroom cool? Anyone have any creative, green ideas?"

    routine with multiple calls to clustalw. I figured I had some bad code, until
    the same thing happened with another cpu intensive routine.

    Hmmm...
    1. athlon server
    2. cpu intensive routines
    3. hot whether

    -> heat issue?

    I opened up the case to find evil, insulating dust-bunnies had taken up
    residence. I did a quick vacuum, added a room fan, and started it up.

    So far, so good..." -- you!
