Hey Oregonians (and you, too Wool), are you keeping something from me?

Has there been a new route created from Portland to Salem (normally a 45 mile trip for you non-Oregonians and Wool). My lighting equipment arrived in Portland last night at 11:10 PM. It was due to be delivered today. Normally something that arrives at that time can make it no problem. They rescheduled it for tomorrow.

It allegedly left Portland at 1:28 pm today. It still hasn't arrived in Salem. I called UPS today to just go pick it up tonight. They said they couldn't allow that until it "arrives" on the tracking in Salem. It's still not here. So, where'd it go? Via Boring??

I am afraid it made the trip via my part of Oregon....might be there in time for the new year.

According to the USPS tracking system, my 50 f/1.4 lens still hasn't left its point of origin and would be in serious danger of not arriving in time for me to open it on Christmas. Lucky for me, it arrived on my front porch on Tuesday. Nice tracking system.


Yeah -- he did kind of walk into that one, didn't he Permie.

USPS doesn't offer interim tracking...just origin and delivery....they haven't caught up to UPS in that department. The only USPS item with sort of full tracking is Registered Mail...and even that doesn't always work.

Yay.

My MacBook Pro's here!!

Outstanding!!

I'm jealous (although only slightly). I own the Core Duo version, and it's a wonderful computer. It's plenty fast, although the Core2 Duo would be better, no doubt.

Best of luck with it.

BTW, happy winter everyone. Today is the shortest day of the year unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere.

I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

It's beautiful!!! Needs a bit of configuration yet, and I need to get the settings from my Vista laptop copied over to it as well.

Kinda sorta. They're a lot happier now. It was a 3am start for me, and I got home again at 10pm.

I'm pooped!!
