If you are interested in booking a hotel last minute or one for a specific budget then www.laterooms.com would be the best place to start.
Finding a hotel on this site is easily done and the site is very user friendly.
Enter the following details:
Destination
Arrival Date
No. of Nights
How many people
Then sort by many options such as:Price, Best Discount, Guest Rating, Star Rating, Name and Distance.
Example:
Sort by Price this will list the cheapest hotels first then you can choose out of the cheapest ones which offers the best facilities and is it nearby to where you want to visit or stay.
 
So personally this is the most useful site for booking hotels I have come across.

Nerd or Turd is Under Redevelopment due to hacker!

20 Dec
excerpt thumb

This site was hacked and the database was dropped (Deleted). Luckily I had very minor backups that I could restore. I have learnt alot from this complete and utter **** (Use a four letter inpolite word here or just use turd). I will be ready for any more hacking attacks ;)   If you would like to see some of the details of the hacker please see below: medan@hack.cl Changed my "Site Title" to Hacked. One interesting thing I found out was if you have access to cPanel and can use PhpMyAdmin you can look in the tables in the database and you can see his own admin user account he edited/created. Your admin account will no longer work for trying to access the actual WordPress site. Once you have changed the login details to your own so you can regain access to the admin area of WordPress you can then take note of the plugin names you have installed. When you reinstall WordPress you ca now find the plugins you used before more easily. (They could well be on the server still if you check with FTP program). If anyone else has any tips to help resolve this issue that would be great as it actually affected thousands of WordPress blogs and sites. My first tip is to backup very often!     All users please bare with me whilst the site is redeveloped. Regards, Nerd

I have purchased a Blu-ray player this week for £94.99 from play.com. Main features I looked for when buying the player: Upscaling of DVD’s to 1080P. (P=Progressive, Better than 1080i. I=Interlaced) Optical Output (To connect to my current Creative Inspire 5.1 surround system) I was also interested in trying out the BD Live Internet Download. Cheap price (£94.99). USB/Ethernet port for updating the firmware on the Blu-ray Player. I compared many models specifications and reviews which include Samsung, Panasonic and Sony. I tried to get the cheapest deals, best specifications and tried to future proof the player. I also purchased a HDMI Cable from eBay which was £3.74 and is 3 Meters long. Bargain and has 24 carat gold coated connectors (Although I dont think the is important for digital signals). I will update you on this when I receive the HDMI cable and blu-ray DVD’s in the post.

Microdirect – Samsung 750GB Spinpoint F1 SAT (Samsung HD753LJ)

12 Jan

I purchased a hard drive from microdirect about a year ago. The hard disc drive is a “Samsung 750GB Spinpoint F1 SAT,  Samsung HD753LJ” and has always seemed to have problems with sectors and the hard disc drive did not always appear in “My Computer”. I ran Spinrite to repair the sectors which seemed to work for a while and then the problems started occuring again. So Spinrite seemed to be a temporary fix until the problem got worse. I have two other Samsung HD753LJ connected to the computer for storage of games and software and media etc. The main reason I bought the third one was for data backup. I use Cobian 9 to backup all my files from my other  Samsung HD753LJ 750Gb. Due to me loosing very precious data in the past I learnt from this mistake and could justify spending £65 on another hard drive purely for backups. The hard disc drive came with 3 years manufacturer warranty. I then tried to contact Samsung directly and they told me to use the ES-TOOL which seemed very useful but still did not help resolve any of my issues but alerted me of an error code which was: Error code/Fault description : Service code => AJ38 : Smart Error Error Occured Test Loop Number 1 I then tried to submit an RMA to Samsung but it came up with this problem: “code 103: The product has been brought in from outside of this service region and cannot be serviced. Please contact your reseller or distributor.” So I now enter my country on the website as China instead of UK and I can progress further for the RMA. I guessed China as most things seemed to be imported from here these days. It the produced an RMA sheet which states I need to return the item to China. No way was I going to do that when Samsung must have offices in the UK. So I emailed samsung and explained the problem they stated: “The RMA number that you have provided belongs to a service center located outside of your service region. Please understand that your hard drive was brought in from outside of your service region and you may contact the point of purchase for further assistance.” I the contacted Microdirect and they said submit an RMA on the site once logged in. I tried and it said it was out of warranty which was incorrect.(I had my receipt to prove them wrong just incase.) They generated my an RMA and sent it in an email. I have now returned the hard disc drive in similar and suitable packaging to microdirect which cost me £2.99 for recorded signed delivery. Another interesting email Samsung sent me (From: SamsungHDD RMA [hddrmareg@samsung.com]): Dear customer. Firstly, we apologize for your inconvenience. Your HDD sold from SAMSUNG to HongKong.In this case, your drive must provice RMA by point of purchased. Your dealer(supplier) should bear all the responsibility for the HDD. If you want… Read more »
