Westpac, Use Someone’s Brain.

The Westpac banking site is down at the moment, fair enough these things happen. But is there any reason I have to attempt a login before I’m redirected to a notice telling me that banking is not available?

Here’s a hint Westpac – don’t waste your customer’s time. If online banking isn’t working tell us where we try to login.

Firing Up Google Desktop

Filed under: — tony @ 08:16

Google Desktop Search finally works with Firefox.

Unfortunately it still doesn’t work with my anti-virus software and I can’t be bothered disconnecting from the net, uninstalling the AV, installing GDS, rebooting and then reinstalling the AV to get it going. At least not today I can’t so I’ll be sticking with Copernic Desktop Search for now.
