Re: [BLUG] powertop

Yes! I have been using powertop since quite a bit now. My machine is a Dell Vostro 1400 running Hardy and it does seem to make a certain difference in the battery life.
I have the powertop recommendations in a startup script which is rather nifty than executing them each time by running PowerTop.

If you have a Nvidia card (which takes a significant share for processor-wakeups) you could also take a look at these tips -

[BLUG] powertop

Was curious if anyone had tried out powertop on a laptop and if you had seen
any improvements in battery life?

Re: [BLUG] Supermemo

Hey, thanks for the link.

I've started playing around with Mnemosyne to beat some simple facts
into my head.

So far so good. I've knocked some cobwebs out surrounding my Japanese
reading skills, and reinforced my knowledge of where all the U.S. States
are.
