I have owned several computers over the last 20 years, from a CZ Spectrum to my new Athlon XP 64 Desktop. Over all these years, I’ve been involved in many projects, most of them related to complex application development so I have had my share of of error codes and blue screens (or computer freezes) over those years and nothing stumps you as much as a blank screen with nothing more than an error code, usually in hex code so you don’t even really know what number it is until you use a conversion tool.

I mean, would you know what to do if you saw a error code 1728? Don’t feel alone if you don’t know, because there are thousands of codes and messages and they don’t really help unless you have some way of finding what the error means and how to try and solve it.

Well, I have found such a place and it’s called The PC-Library and it is the place you want to visit if you want to learn what those error codes and messages mean. This free online library shows you exactly what these numbers mean and this will allow you (or the PC repair man) to decide just how serious of a problem it might be and how to best deal with it.
By the way, the message above means that an application has suffered A remote procedure call (RPC) protocol error, meaning that it attempted to access a service (usually on a remote machine) and has failed. Just in case you were wondering….

It may come as a surprise but although I own several suits, I’ve never acquired a custom-made, tailor suit. I just settled for off-the-rack suits that more or less fit. Now that a big local event is coming, and I’m one of the invited speakers, it would be very nice to have one that fits, one that lets me move around comfortably.

I must admit I love the tailored style of a suit and have always admired the professional image it portrays.  A Made to Measure suit is just THE thing to bring out a professional flair in a person, whether in a meeting or as a speaker in an event.

Businessmen need as much help as they can get these days. One of the reasons I never got a tailor suit is because I didn’t have time to wait for a tailor to measure me. I hate waiting in line. That’s why I was happy to find  the my.suit website, which has just what it takes to get the ball rolling with no waiting. They have an online application form, where you can set up your measurement appointment when it’s convenient for you. After you go to their store, you’ll have your sleek, professional-looking suit within two weeks, ready for that big meeting or ball.

They measure you, help you choose your styles, then you pick your fabric. This is a order on-demand company, so that they don’t have a bunch of merchandise sitting around gathering dust. They’ve been around over 40 years, so they are well established in the business world and they embraced online technologies to provide a better service. What else can you ask for?

Summer is gone but down at the south it’s still very hot, so when my car’s Air conditioning compressor broke down last week, I didn’t think twice. I pointed my browser to http://www.1airconditioning.com/ and thanks to its A/C part search, I was able to find a replacement part in no time at all. A couple of days later, my A/C was working at full capacity again, keeping me cool while driving across town. Cool service indeed (pun intended).

With the crumbling of many Wall Street banks and financial institutions, I’m considering to consolidate all my expenses into a single Credit Card, one that really fits my needs and that offers real advantages against the rest.

As with my last card, I’ve run an Online Credit Card search at http://www.cardhub.com/ as it is the best way to find the card you really need instead of through dozens of useless offers. Once you decide what cards you need, they simply send you the ones you picked, so you don’t waste time reading through the mail.

And since we’re on the “time-saving” subject, you also save a lot of time while searching, since you narrow the results you get exactly what you want, not what a company’s computer thinks you need.  Not looking for gas cards? Just untick them from the search form and it won’t show them in the results.

After you decided upon one or a few cards, you can then safely and securely apply for the card(s). After that, you’ll be notified very soon if your card was issued or whether the application was rejected for some reason. It can’t get any faster and simpler than that. Can it?
