Proofreading Mass Email
Last week I changed my AT&T account to be a 900 minute plan. As part of the change, AT&T sent email confirming it. The automatic email, however, was not proofread. The bullet points should have been alphabetical (in English), numerical, or simply bullets. AT&T sent the email with the bullets being Hebrew letters.

Too many ways to contact people
When I was in college, I thought it was cool to have multiple email addresses; at a time when most people didn't have 1 address, I had at least two, so I put them in my email signature, along with my website and phone number.

Revisiting Rollover Minutes
When I first signed up for AT&T, I wrote that rollover minutes were pretty much a joke. I kept racking up rollover minutes and never used them until last month. I use my cell phone for work and last month I had to be in a ton of conference calls and managed to use up basically all of my rollover minutes! With my anytime minutes, rollover minutes, and then putting the final calls of the month on Ooma, I was on the phone for something like 2200 minutes. That is basically a complete work week on the phone!

Is newer technology better?
With my cordless phones failing, I was on the hunt for a new set of phones. After a bit of hemming and hawing, I got the Panasonic KX-TG7624 4 handset set. The main feature I wanted was the ability to set a different ringtone per caller. The old Uniden set we have (about 8 years old) did this and worked well. We have a bunch of ringers to choose from and we can set them on a per phonebook entry basis. This new Panasonic said Ringer ID was a feature.
