I downloaded the Edison software. It works well. It has kicked in many times when I got pulled away from the computer. You can also set the timings for work and non-work hours. hbomb7 - 7/4/2009 3:14:21 PM

Take a "Navy Shower"
The basic idea is to get yourself wet all over, as soon as you turn the shower on, and then turn it off while you soap up before, finally, rinsing off. A typical shower takes as much as 230 L (60 US gallons) of water, while taking a navy shower can use as little 11 L (3 US gallons); one person can save 56,000 L (15,000 US gallons) per year!

"I love this idea! It works! Even when I was young, my mom applied this concept to our house. Even during the hottest Florida summers, the thermostat never went below 78...I love having the windows open as much as possible anyways...I love the fresh air and hearing the birds."
