Freight Forwarder IT Workers Google Group.

Freight Forwarder IT Workers Google Group

I’m basically just adding this so Google will pick it up. I’ve made a group on Google for IT workers/employees/managers etc in the Freight Forwarding, NVOCC, import/export field to talk about things happening IT related in the industry, and to share ideas and such. Right now, there isn’t such a forum, group, or anything like this.

It would be nice to see how other people have solved common problems, etc.


Blogging Lazyness

Attended YAPC in Houston, got a new camera too.

Derks car is up for sale.

Derek is selling his car on craigslist here: 1992 Chevy Cavalier Z24

I figured I’d post a link for him, get his post some extra traffic.


Cameras

I’m still saving like a banshee for a new camera.

Here’s what I have lens wise:

* Canon 50mm f/1.4
* Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS
* Canon 18-55 EF-S

I’m having the darnedest time deciding between a Canon EOS 30d and a EOS 5d. I still shoot film occasionally and want to get into wide angle stuff. To me it seems the full frame 5d is the perfect choice. I could pick up a 17-40mm f4L lens and be in wide angle heaven. At the same time, if I bought the 30d, to achieve the wide angle effect, I’d need a 10-22 lens and then another lens to cover the missing gap between the 22mm and 50mm area (yes the kit lens covers it, but its such a bad lens I dont want to consider it.) The 30d is a lot cheaper though. I just don’t know.
