so

so my ibm thinkpad battery life has decreased significantly since i got it about a year ago. it's a 9-cell lithium ion battery, so it's supposed to have extended, usually around 4.5 hours. however, now it's more like 3 hours. i read recently about the ipod battery that people who scarely use it should nonetheless put it through at least one life/charge cycle a month to keep the chemical things moving and lasting. tonight is the first time i'm giving my thinkpad battery a "life/charge" cycle in over a lot of/too many than is good for my laptop months. wow. in other news, hmm. as my ex-gf used to say, i got nothin'.
