I can’t use my PC for more than about 15 minutes from lunchtime. It’s too hot. It just stops working. Specifically, the harddrives can’t be detected. I can still boot with Knoppix and use the net, but I can’t do any real work. The next morning all is OK again.

What’s nearly as bad is that in this heat my IR remote controls for my TV and stereo both stop working too. While getting up to change the channel is a pain, it’s worse that I can’t use some functions without the remotes.

It’s a good thing I live near the beach.
