Hi. Sorry if this is a dumb question. How do you search the archives?
This page doesn't have a search box:

http://mail.millennium.berkeley.edu/pipermail/tinyos-help/

Not being able to search the thread, I have this question: tinyos
provides an API to check chip voltage levels (eg: used by Deluge to
check if it is safe to reprogram). Can't this voltage level be used to
get a vague idea of remaining battery life? eg, if the level is too
low to reprogram with a new image, then your battery is starting to
run out.
