I’m researching switching to some other blog. Considering WordPress. I just have been sticking with MovableType because it’s written in Perl. It’s been giving me hassles lately. Tried installing some spam stuff and now things are weird.. I’ve got a few hundred posts. We’ll see.
New look by the way. Just trying new things.
I’ve been on a hunt for new music the last couple months.
Albums currently being spun in the Hyundai:
Ya some of its old, but hey I’m just now discovering it.
Well, I got my 300d back from Best Buy (geeksquad) warranty service.
As I thought, “Cleaned and Inspected. Working.” is what they came back with.
Now I have to go nuts taking pictures, to see if it will happen again. I was hoping it was dead, so I could get a new body before the warranty expires. Then I could spend my “camera savings” on some new glass instead. Since I’ve been shooting only RAW lately I’ve noticed how slow the rebel is at writing, even with my Sandisk Ultra II card, it seems like the camera is the bottleneck.
We’ll see how it goes.
My Canon 300D (Digital Rebel) is finally crapping out after almost 20,000 images written. I bought it in October 2003. Luckily I found the Best Buy warranty on it. It’s been giving me an “Error 99″. According to Canon this is “an error other than all other documented errors”. I did some research only to find it could be a number of things from lenses to memory cards, etc.
I’ve tried a few different lenses, all of which are canon, all of which cause the same problem.
I’ve tried memory cards from 128mb, to 4gig and about 4 others in between and had the error 99 pop up.
I have two different battery packs which both have given me the error on.
Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” website just updated the status to “Shipping back to Best Buy Store”. They’ve only had my camera two days. Lets hope they’ve fixed my problem.
In the past with Best Buy, they’ve sent DVD players back to me with the same problem as I sent them off with. (I’m a big fan of buying warranties on expensive stuff.) I bought a DVD player in 1998, I’m now on my 5th DVD player, and have yet to buy a new one. Of course I’ve paid two $99 warranty renewals, which even upgraded me to a recorder/player. When this one dies, I’ll just buy a new one now that they are so cheap. My current one doesnt have a warranty.
Anyways. We’ll see when Best Buy gets the camera what they’ve done. I’m guessing it will say “Cleaned and checked.. no problems”. I’m sure it will take a few times to get this one right.
