Ok (whilst I’m on my soap box) I’ve just tried to redeem a rescheduled flight to Adelaide. What? I’m a month or so over 12 months since I first booked it, so the flight is lost. $250 down the drain! QANTAS - YOU’VE GOT MY EMAIL ADDRESS. How about a courtesy email 2 months before it’s expiry date saying “Dear Sir, don’t forget your rescheduled flight expires in 2 months”. But no. Silence. I’d love to know the figures on how much they save with this customer non-service.

I’m finding that Google apps whilst convenient, falls way, way short of the sort of power I want in docs and spreadsheets. But I want all my admin docs and office apps online so APPLEBOX operations can run out of anywhere. So thought I’d try ThinkFree, and see how that stacks up.

It looks great … but wait! ThinkFree is only available as BigPond Office for those in the Australasia region:

Right .. I have to sign up with BigPond for a rebadged version of ThinkFree!@#? Way to go ThinkFree, but I’ll stick with Google apps for a while longer, or perhaps try Zoho. I CAN’T STAND Telstra and I don’t want anything whatsoever to do with them. Some might call that a pathological aversion, but hey I’m sure I’m not alone. Oh well, back to business.

The Art has started rolling in, the hanging date is set, we are drawing the 6 months free movies competition and it’s shaping up to be a fantastic night on Thursday. Come along, even if for a quick drink and a look around. 6.30 - 8.30pm…. and make sure you drop in on Simon as he has to stay in the shop all night!! (well you will give me the job of rostering!!)
