You’re totally right, I usually try to use it as a link dump as opposed to posting original content. That stuffs cheap enough to wall in so I don’t mind.

Comment on The long overdue details of my miserable EY experience by jamezpolley

You can get two of those benefits (status, avoid LHR) on SQ. They have normal power+USB in economy on their A380s and A330s, so you should get it for at least the SYD<->SIN segments.

For the next segment it’s trickier, but just a matter of picking the right flights. SQ2008 (codeshare, operated by LH on an A380) which will give you power all the way to FRA (according to SeatGuru, anyway); or SQ368 (on a 773-ER) will give you power all the way to MUC.

Damn you. Was just considering EY economy for a trip to Europe. (Status credits, avoid LHR, normal power point + usb in economy)

Argh.

Comment on Free voicemail transcription on Telstra Prepaid (and postpaid too!) by jamezpolley

FWIW, Vodafone have a feature called “Ring Alert”, which will call you when a voicemail message was left and play it back for you. This feature is free – but not entirely reliable, as if you’re out of range for too long it will give up and not call you any more.

Calling 121 does charge you standard call rates though.

Comment on iPhone/Google Sync tips by James Polley

I’ve just updated the post to block that part out, because with the release of snow leopard it’s no longer true.

The only thing I can think of (assuming all the obvious things like “Contacts” is actually set to “On” in the list of things to sync for the exchange account) is that I believe the syncing will only sync the “My Contacts” group from the Google Contacts app (https://www.google.com/contacts/a/example.com if you’re using Apps, https://www.google.com/contacts/ if you’re using gmail).
