Operator Error

Here’s the eror message that every developer would love to drop into their software but would never dare: [error]Operator Error.

Jetstar’s Customer Care

I’m halfway through dealing with Jetstar’s Customer Care, and it is highlighting to me what many companies do wrong when dealing with real people. Single sided communication I dislike “donotreply” email addresses. They imply that the sender is not interested in what I think. If I want to contact them, then I have to work […]

Easter eggs and hot cross buns

I don’t know which one is more amazing, how quickly easter eggs and hot cross buns appear, or how long it takes them to disappear. We didn’t even have time to take down the Christmas tree before we could start buying Easter eggs and hot cross buns. Is this an attempt by big business to […]
