Weekend Wrapup

A very nice weekend, with lovely post-hurricaine weather. Saturday was pretty low-key; just did some coding and got out for a short bike ride in the fresh air. Sunday went bouldering down at Coopers, which was a fun, although a bit more humid than I would have thought, seeing as how it was so crisp up in Pittsburgh. At the last minute, I decided that I wanted to bring my camera along, but all my batteries were flat. So today I'm going to do a quick "comparison shop":http://www.steves-digicams.com/nimh_batteries.html for some "NiMH batteries":http://www.imaging-resource.com/ACCS/BATTS/BATTS.HTM. With all my electronic "gizmos":http://feralboy.com/matt/tivo/ and "remotes":http://search-desc.ebay.com/search/search.dll?srchdesc=y&query=RM-TP501E&MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&SortProperty=MetaEndSort, I don't seem to be able to keep my rechargables around. I figure picking up another 8 or so will be good. I already have a "rechargable pack":http://www.steves-digicams.com/maha_powerbank.html just for the camera, but it's somewhat clunky to carry around all the time, so a few extra sets of batteries will be good to have. *Update:* Got "a charger":http://www.thomas-distributing.com/mhc401fs.htm and 8 batteries for around $60. Not bad. I already have a NiCad/NiMH charger, but I don't know how good it is, seeing as how that technology seems to be "progressing":http://www.steves-digicams.com/2002_reviews/maha_c401fs.html the same as the batteries themselves.
