Day: August 16, 2003

I can’t classify this as an official rumor, and I can reveal my source, but there are rumblings out there that Canon is going to announce internally that they are aiming for a Digital Rebel, a consumer-level (or prosumer) digital SLR camera targeting the sub-$1000 price range.

If this is true, it could rock the camera industry.  I don’t know any more, but if I find anything out, you know that I’ll post it.  No, my information didn’t come from a website somewhere, but a person.  I just hope that they’re right.

Infoworld:

Microsoft Corp. has pulled the WindowsUpdate.com Internet address in an effort to thwart an attack on its systems by computers infected with the Blaster worm, the company said Friday.

MS: We’ll show that worm that we can beat it.  Let’s take our site down.

Worm: Mission accomplished.

My colo box has been down for most of the afternoon.

It’s definately not my box, as www.coloco.com has been unreachable most of the afternoon.

I might swing by in the morning to see what’s up if it’s not fixed by then.

Mail is bouncing, but at least I don’t have any production stuff on that box yet.

Hopefully it’s a network outage and not a power outage, as I’d rather not loose my 70 or so days of uptime.
