Live Life. Life is Short. Life is an Adventure.

I’ve recently started a new contract position, and the combination of more restrictive working hours, and at least 1 hour travel each way each day, has lead to me not being about to write like I have of late.

I seem to have far more draft blogs at moment, many things I want to write, and I have to temper this with a number of extra projects but I guess that’s life.

This fad started many years ago, and once I achieved it. Well today, I got the google 1 of 1 result. Here are the rules

GoogleWack “Your goal: find that elusive query (two words - no quote marks) with a single, solitary result!”

And my two words were:

ensureClassInitialized xmlbeans

Of course the problem is, by the time you read this, it may no longer be a 1 of 1 result, as my Blog may get referenced. So, I’ve attached a screen print for proof. (yes, it’s an undoctored screen print)

Everybody hates having to listen to automated telephone systems, with long menu options, and you just want to speak to a human, even to be redirected to another human. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been in the menu system for 30 mins. I’ve even been lost in the menu system with Telstra, finally hung up in discust, redialed and been almost immediately serviced.

So Apparently if you ring a Telstra number and receive voice prompting do the following to get to an operator quicker:

1. Say a word ie “mobile” or “phone”
2. Press the hash (#) key
3. Wait for the recorded message
4. Press the hash key again

Apparently this will put you at the top of the queue for the next available operator.

We just tested this with the 13 2200 number and it seems to work. After step 4, we were sent to a human operator within 15 seconds. Nice.

Well Emptorium Australian Banking Cheat Sheet will get back at big business with a number of cheats.
