Nice one Scott!

Excellent Customer Service

Jul 11, 2007

★★★★★ Scott was at the Information desk of the Blackwood branch of the Commonwealth Bank and was most informative and helpful. He remembered me by name when I came back later on in the day to complete my business and had me fixed up very quickly. His obvious knowledge of the ins-and-outs of his business made the whole experience very pleasant. This hReview brought to you by the hReview Creator.

I was thinking the other day that I have a wonderful way of thanking someone for excellent service. I can’t find any reference to this guy on the net today, but in the future this might be one of the places that someone learns about Scott’s interpersonal skills. They say that a lot of employers Google your name before they hire you. There’s also a lot of negative info about people and companies that have screwed people over. I want to start adding a bit of positive info to the net.

Thank you Scott. I’ll be calling your employer to pass on my thanks, but this review is my way of saying “nice work”.

I’ve included this ‘hreview‘ as a test of the format.


Free music from Triple J - an unofficial feed

Update: 2007-12My feed is superceded by the ACTUAL OFFICIAL triple j: new music podcast. Please subscribe to it! It includes links to the actual MP3s.

Triple J (an Australian youth radio station) has been putting free music up on their site for years for people to download in MP3 format. They don’t really seem to have a way of telling people when new music is up there though.

Well today I found a use for the wonderful Feed43 service that’s been sitting in my bookmarks folder, and I’ve created a simple feed that should keep track of the new music as it’s posted.

I’m making the feed public with this disclaimer: I don’t own the music and have nothing to do with the Triple J website. Use it at your own risk. If it breaks I reserve the right to not fix it. If I am told to stop it by Triple J I will. I have not included a direct link to the music to avoid as many issues as possible - please visit the Triple J website to download the songs.

Otherwise, I hope you find it useful!

The Internet is so fun, I love it!

Was uploading some photos to my PicasaWeb album and noticed that someone had managed to find my photos and had left a comment! Yay me!
