Flashing my camera?

Menu_firm_E.gifAfter a month or two of procrastination, I finally decided to reflash my Digital Rebel and upgrade the firmware to version 1.1.1.

The upgrade went without a hitch, and only took a couple minutes. I haven’t noticed any changes in the camera, but I’m a geek and it gives me the warm fuzzies to have the latest and greatest code on all of my hardware.

  6. A bucketful of quickies

    Some people sleep on the job while others camp out in the parking lot; at any given time over my lunch hour there are half a dozen or more people snoozing away taking their siesta in their cars. The Interdictor…
