Telephone Menu Get Out of Jail Free Card

Don´t you just hate it when you try to call a larger company and can´t speak to a human to explain what should be a simple issue? Now here is something useful - someone took the time to go through many common voice menu systems from large companies and found out how to actually speak to a human in as few steps as possible. The list is here: http://paulenglish.com/ivr/ and I include the link for general interest.

In other news, I´m working on enhancements to this news so that I can display the content on other web sites... it may not sound like much at first - but the possibilities are fairly extensive. For example - soon, this Log will be available on my (soon to be completed) personal web site http://www.scottbaker.ca - which is just a shell at the moment. But the more interestign part will be collecting news (and eventually events) from other sources for display here - so, soo I´ll be abel to have Coast Guard news items showing up on this web site - should we be so interested.

I´ll keep you posted ;)
