Connect a OQO Model 1+
using its small VGA adapter to a Microoptical
SV-6 or SV-3 display.
Use a USB hub to both connect the Twiddler and
to power the Microoptical (some soldering required).
This set-up will
run for about 2.5hrs on a charge.
For longer battery life we use
a Datel DC-DC convertor
and a Sony NPF-960 battery plugged into the
external power port on the OQO.

Like panning for gold,

Carolyn Hax: Do good husbands leave the ‘half-dressed’ damsels on the stoop?
A wife is upset her husband let in their “half-dressed” neighbor after she got locked out of her home in her sleepwear.
Carolyn Hax is away. The following first appeared Aug. 4, 2010, and has been lightly edited.
Dear Carolyn: My husband of 10 years, who is retired, calls me at work one morning and tells me he had just gotten out of the shower when our female next-door neighbor rang the doorbell in her nightclothes, stating that she got locked out when she took out the trash. My husband then says he invited her in to use the phone and stay until someone came to let her in (about 30 to 45 minutes).
I ask him, “Why would you invite a half-dressed woman into our home when I am not present?” He could have helped her by offering his cellphone and a robe while she sat on her porch.
I ask him to present this situation to his male friends. He responds, “Yeah, they will say, ‘You are stupid for even sharing that with your wife.’”
I was very disappointed with how he handled this situation. He says he would do it again exactly the same way, even if it upsets me, and says I am insecure. Any suggestions?
