Mary has incited a blog-riot over on her blog about the inadequacies of Voice Mail. That got me all fired up about an experience that I'd all but forgotten about so thought I would do a quick blog-vent to clear my head.
I recently got trapped in one of Sun's business processes - it required me to send a fax that contained little else but my scrawly signature - to meet the deadline I had to send it that day.
Now I've never really been into faxes (may be I'm too young) but I recognize one when I see one and I'm fairly sure that we have them dotted around the office, unfortunately I don't go to the office everyday and I wasn't about to make a special trip (to the office or to Kinko's) just to use a Fax.
I tried to convice the HR folks that I could think of multiple ways of getting them a signed form in the next 2 minutes but the answer was no - it's got to come via the fax - that's the process. Sigh. I gave in, I then spent about an hour looking for simple / cheap ways to send a fax over the web and eventually found FaxItNice which seemed about the only service that didn't require a monthly subscription.
So, if Mary's blog manages to provoke some kind of petition to outlaw voicemail I'd also like to kill faxes at the same time.
