Pondering the Imponderable -- 11:58 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Well, my rechargeable alkaline experiment seems to be a flop. I was trying Rayovac Renewals in my Visor, but they really don't work too well. They don't start out with as high a charge as regular alkalines and you have to swap them out earlier (I set my Visor to the "Rechargeable Alkaline" setting) so they last longer. To top it all off, high-drain conditions--such as playing games or using the backlight--really beat the daylights out of them. I guess I'll just have to buy a box of generic alkalines and be done with it.

On a similar note, I've been trying the new NVIDIA 6.31 Detonator 3 drivers on my TNT. As I expected, I really haven't seen any improvement, but they aren't any worse either. If you have a TNT and are using 5.22 or higher, it's probably not worth the hassle.

I still haven't heard back from AvantGo regarding our application to make The Haus an official channel. Stomped also applied right about the same time and I don't think they've heard back yet either. In the meantime, you can follow the instructions in this news post to get The Haus on your PDA.
