How hard is it, I ask you, to fully answer one simple question, when you are running a hotel? The question being: "do you have a non-smoking twin bedroom available for period X to Y".

I don't care about your hairdryer and minibar and inroom safe, or whether the room has a bath or shower (as long as it has a bathroom). If I did, I would ask for ( Read more... )

Argh, I still haven't received my Farscape season 1 and 2 DVD sets! Stupid delivery company. Normal people work during normal office hours. They tried to deliver it first last Friday, left a note to say they'd try again today between 9 am and 1 pm. Did they expect I'd take a day off or something?

At least they were smart enough to leave yet ( Read more... )

I was doing some initial research into possible B&B accommodations for our upcoming holiday. Once again, I'm surprised at the lack of understanding among B&B owners on how to use the internet for advertising, marketing and selling one's B&B rooms. I'd have expected to see a big improvement between 2002 and 2006 but unfortunately I don't (unless my ( Read more... )

The web is in dire need of some spring cleaning!

Try finding high resolution pictures of "ancient" television shows (i.e. Dark Angel), and you'll end up with pages and pages and pages of dead links to free sites like geocities, or to expired domains snapped up by domain squatters showing off adverts to yet other links that you have no need for (I ( Read more... )

Urgh... Why did I have to write so many stories? Why did I decide a new look and feel is necesary for Fiction Plaza? It is going to take forever to convert all the stories into the new templates! I just spent more than an hour to copy and paste all the relevant data for the Charmed index page. INDEX page! That means I haven't transferred a single ( Read more... )

My friends (not you, dear digitalized LJ friends, but Real Life friends) and colleagues are not very smart. Or perhaps they are greedy. Or both ( Read more... )

Isn't it the purpose of virus signature updates to recognize new viruses? Instead of scaring the hell out of me by red-flagging a program that I have used for years, because it supposedly is infected with a virus that has been out for monthsI keep having to pull it out of quarantine. Kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it ( Read more... )

Yes, those cartoons.

I finally got to see them all, and it leaves me at even more of a loss at the whole uproar. Most are drawings (several not even caricatures in the true sense, just drawings) of a bearded man with a turban. Exactly two of the twelve mention the word "mohammed" somewhere in the picture; the others could be about any arab-looking ( Read more... )
