Good deal on a cheap XGI card
For anyone who’d like to pick up an XGI card and doesn’t really care what it is, there’s a pretty sweet deal at TigerDirect: $15 after rebate for a V3.
I found this from my favorite sale feed at Cheap Stingy Bastard.
Tungsten C working properly again
I’ve been having trouble with my Tungsten C lately. It crashed every time I tried to use the built-in Web browser. This was quite annoying as a number of the WiFi hotspots in town have that captive portal thing, where you need to visit a Web page and sign in before you get access to anything.
After backing up the whole thing and randomly deleting files that looked related to the Web browser, I finally deleted one that fixed it — ‘Web History.pdb’. So if anyone else runs into this problem, just delete that file.
Afterward, I tried dropping the history size from 4K to 2K, just to be safe.
Welcome to my world! It's a blend of open-source technology, community, and science.
