Hi Sean,
I recall reading in your blog a while back that you were dissappointed with the battery
life of your new digital camera. I came across this article
today that might give you some ideas on improving it.

Cheers.
Well, since then, I've found that the Rayovac NiMH rechargable batteries seem
to work wonders in the camera as I can get hours, nay, days, of use out of
these batteries in the digital camera. I had attempted to use the Rayovac
Alkaline rechargable batteries in the camera (since I found they work
great for the Newton I have) but they lasted all of maybe five seconds, if
that.
But the NiMH ones work
beautifully, and I can use the same recharger for both these and the
Alkalines.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
