saving money on the electric bill

After receiving a fairly large (>$200) electric bill for a month in which we did not use heat or a/c, I was convinced that I needed to audit my power usage habits. Here are a few things that I've done to try and reduce my electric bill:

• Moved d33z.com to shared hosting. Now I don't have to run a server 24x7 at home.


• Replaced ancient Cisco switch for Green D-Link. The Cisco cost $20/mo to run, the D-Link costs about $1.50/mo.


• Add power strips to entertainment systems, and turn them off when not in use.


• Reduce fish tank light timer to only light after sunset.

Bleh. I'm hoping just the above will cut out about $50 on my monthly bill.
