Website Simplicity

Tuesday 23 January 2007 @ 5:34 pm

Someone from InAsra.Com asked me to try their booking system for hotels in india, which I must admit, a Kiss to the finish.
One Simple page, select location, and dates…and that’s it!

I tried my luck for a place in CHENNAI , and guess what? what can I get for FIVE BUCKS?
Hotel name:Hotel Sree Krishna
Star Category:
Address:274/159 Peters Road Gopalpuram
City:Chennai
Pincode:600086
State:Tamil Nadu
Distance from Airport:12 Km
Airport Name:Menabakam Airport
Distance from Rail Station:5 Km
Railway Station Name:Central Railway Station
Distance from Bus Stand:10 Km
Bus Stand Name:Koimpate Bus Stop
Tariff
Single Non A/C Room:USD 5
Double Non A/C Room:USD 10
Double A/C Room:USD 17
Family Room With (4 Pax):USD 22
Extra Bed:USD 3
Check-in Time:24 Hrs
Check-out Time:24 Hrs

Hmmn, a total no frills.

Trouble was, No Image! No Paypal, no other thingy.
They accept all those dodgy cards….. but I really really don’t feel comfortable with the booking system.
While Given the fact that the 5 star hotels have a picture like those in Mumbai *(BOMBAY!)…. I just wish they could have a sub site, a stub maybe, describing the services, map etc. Or you expect me to flag an auto rickshaw and say, Baiya, Park Royal Palms Hotel , Super Fast…tilting my head just like a local issit?
Aiya Yah!

Other than that, they have thought what the user needs to ask, and I must give them an A for an effort,and quick load cos it’s in the US, Utah.

Hmmn, should give a try, but if they ……..pitch in a map, and other locality maps etc..like the ons in the city etc.
I’ll give them a ‘To API link’ against my travel sites.

Image Spammers Beware

Friday 15 December 2006 @ 3:22 am

From Marlinda’s Kitchen

So I told ye I was having loads of problem with image spam , ie: Image embeded in yr email and you click on it, it’s either spam or some porn stuff.

Still I don’t mind, what I do mind is those .js scripts embeded which calls for some BOT software this a that , taking over yr PC.

I’m totally pissed off, and definitely I’m asking my ISP to look into this image spam problem and ask them to buy the flipping addon. Heck, it really gets on my nerves!!

…..So…not that is stopped it totally, but at least the RBL on the EXIM stopped the system with loads of spammers filtered…ie, a keywork //**spamfilter **// added to the subject line, so it can be picked up from my Outlook and into the spam box direct.

Great…now what else?

Config Error?

Saturday 27 May 2006 @ 5:01 pm

Hands Up! It’s MY FAULT!

What else can I say when you are doing some R&D , Test-Bedding and with less or insufficient sleep and rest… things ALWAYS bugger up!

I was playing with the compliance of Google Adsense with the Sitemaps and seems a little error which I ignored and the whole series of sites went down with it!

# Rewrite current-style URLs of the form ‘index.php?q=x’.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

This, causes so much problem to alot of applications in my Powweb Sites and well, I gotta recustomise the site .htaccess back from scratch! So if any config error…let me know..
that includes my COIN site at www.gizmonet-intraweb.com

Note: Of Mod ReWrite, RewriteCond RewriteRule and .HTACCESS!

Any Errors, let me know ASAP!
