This is a small perl oneliner that burns cycles on your idle cpu to heat up your tent :)
nice -n 19 perl -e {redo} &
Run one thread per core in your system, and feel the temperature climb!
Update: Apparently giving the floating-point unit stuff to do helps more:
nice -n 19 perl -e '{$x=1/(1+$x);redo}' &
