It is simple to maintain starter temperature (or rising dough temperatures)
with a small styrofoam box turned upside down.  Place a 5w night light on an
extension cord in the box.  Mine keeps things at about 82.  Don't let the
light touch the container holding the starter or dough, or it will get
overheated!  This is mentioned in a number of books on sourdough techniques
- it's not original with me.
Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change!
