Comment on heat your body, not your house -- using an infrared heat lamp
activistPnk@slrpnk.net 6 days agoThat would help when my wrists rest on the cold desk (which is ergonomically bad anyway). It doesn’t seem like a solution for typing, though if I take frequent rests for hand warming maybe that’d be viable (which I do now by via many cups of hot tea).
About the eyes, I would not want to wear goggles. But I wonder if a good lamp shade could be sufficient. Or is the reflected light also retina deteriorating?

I don’t know about the health effects of too much IR radiation but I would find it annoying. My office gets cold too but I’ve been getting by with just sitting on one hand at a time if it gets too bad. If it gets much worse I‘d consider a desktop heating pad with a small blanket over the entire area. That way both my keyboard and mouse areas are kept warm.

Yeah I do the hand sitting and some other tricks… but was looking for a slightly more productive level of comfort without heating the room or house.
