I like to celebrate the minor victories in life, so I thought I would post about this.
Today I upgraded the firmware on my camera from version 1.00 to 1.30. This may not seem like a great feat, but firmware upgrades make me nervous. It’s generally the case that if something goes awry during a firmware upgrade, the device you’re upgrading is permanently hosed. Plus, I’m not just speaking from abstract knowledge that something could go wrong; a device in my research group actually did bite the dust after experiencing a problem while I was upgrading its firmware. In any case, my camera’s firmware upgrade seems to have been successful, so I can exhale, go to bed, and sleep soundly.
