    Hosting switch query for hostinger users

    For any Hostinger users out there. I'm using Hostinger at the moment for my website and its great but the renewal is up on the 19th so I'm looking around for hosting deals. I see they have their own black friday deal which is seriously cheap for 12 months business hosting. Before i ask them...

    Uber brings forward trialling driverless taxis in UK - Next Spring

    As a software developer I'm only too aware, despite rigorous testing, of how bugs get in the system. I would never , voluntarily, get in a driverless car.

    ebay "simple" delivery

    can you no longer set up a postage profile and use that? i noticed that you had to go into "advanced mode" to give you the option of selecting your own postage method. But havnt listed on there in a couple of months now. I did notice a week or so back i sold something and it defaulted to...

    WBMT.....What baffled me today

    baffled or annoyed, not sure but i'll post here. Daughter had her masters graduation in oxford yesterday. It was cheaper to get a parking ticket (£50 but £25 if paid within a week) than have all day parking in a car park in town near her college and ceremony building (eg 2hrs parking max...

    Camerworld Chelmsford

    that's a real shame. i lived in chelmsford for 10 years and spent a tonne of money in there. It changed a bit when 2 of the really good staff members left but i got a lot of help and advice from them. Probably the crazy rental fees for a store in that shopping center killed it off!

    good checkout option for website?

    Just wondering what people use for their shopping baskets on their webpages? Ive put together a shop front end in wordpress and it really seems be pushing a plugin called "Woo Commerce". Admitidely it seems to cover the bases , but being new to it all i wondered what other good options there are.

    Cameras that are a pleasure to use

    Connecting flights query

    Ok ive always taken direct flights but im off to China in feb and the price difference with direct flight compared to 1 connecting flight is too much to ignore. How does it work. Do you go get your bags then leave and come back in through departures or is there a way through the arrival gate...

    Dental treatment abroad

    my stepdaughter just had a wisdom tooth taken out in china. Had xrays and it taken out for just over £100 in about 15 minutes. Very well equipped and modern dentist, not some tent out on the street either :)

    Do you have a local town FB group and is it just full of crazy people

    The town one, Newark, is pretty dreadfull and populated by anonymous posters ranting at anything and everything. So i left that one, but the local area one for my estate and surrounding area is pretty good for tradesmen recommendations and lost parcels. You get the odd anon post from someone...

    WAMT....what annoyed me today!

    Green flag and all those other insurance people. My green flag ran out and they wanted a renewal of £182. So i cancelled the renewal, had to phone up of course, and set up new cover 1 day after the end date for £90. #sigh

    Wireless boosting query

    ive decided to go the cheap route and just put a network socket on either side of the wall and run a cable through it. Bit neater than just drilling a hole :) At least its made me aware of these new wireless 6 and 7 standards.
