Why the hell do AIB insist on conducting maintenance on Mondays? Their site has been pig slow all morning and the business banking section has been inaccessible. I'm getting really tired of this. I can't access it with anything except for IE on windows, which severely limits me. They've been promising to update the entire business banking thing to use a sane version of Java, but so far it hasn't happened. Gah! Not happy!

A few months ago I mentioned email disclaimers, more specifically the rather silly and amusing ones. Over the last few weeks some people's usage of disclaimers AND signatures has been getting on my nerves. Do I really want to read 10 lines of links and spurious junk AND a long corporate disclaimer? An email signature should contain the necessary contact information ie. company name, website, telephone and fax. There's no point in putting in line upon line of text, "bouncy" signatures, graphics or other things. They may impress people who don't use email much, but if you get any serious levels of email this kind of crap is simply annoying.
