Hotel Floor Plans, Room Numbers, Views & Interconnecting Doors

-

My brain wave just now while sitting at the pool:  Hotel Floor Plans, Room Numbers, Views & Interconnecting Doors.

Fact one

Facebook is promoting it's "Groups" functionality heavily at the moment

It's basically "special interest groups" that it does by matching your profile (it's an AI based match) with groups that are made by anyone - in an effort to get engagement.  Having a lot of success with this for B&B.co.uk and also using it as a User - I joined the Corfu group to get information about Ferry tickets.

So Facebook doing the marketing basically for you if you have a Facebook Group, because it increases engagement with the site.

Fact two

We doing this big tour now; France, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece.  Then we will take a ferry back up the Adriatic, loop into Slovenia (see Bella & Kirst), and the back via James' villa in Antibes, and then back home. 

One problem we have with the kids is I want to see the layout of the hotel so we can get 1 good room (say with sea view) and 1 cheaper room (with garden view) for example -- the kids can be there - they don't look up from their phones all day.  In the old days there was also no indication of if that room had an interconnecting door or not.

No hotel gives layout in the marketing.  It is  "Sea view" or "Deluxe sea view" or whatever.

But they I realised they DO give layout... there's a floor plan for the fire escape in EACH room

Fact Three third  (money making)

Anyone can sign up with booking.com and they will give you a link that if someone else clicks the link and makes a hotel booking, you will get a commission.

So combining all these...

I created a public group, members post room number, floor plan, and view from window, and their own personal booking.com link.  When anyone searches Facebook for the hotel name it will come up somewhere and if they click the link the members will all make $$

What are you waiting for?  Start contributing to the group, find your perfect room(s), and maybe make a few dollars in the process.

How do you fix a roll of aluminium foil once it's started spiralling?

-
I had this problem. Seen a post on Reddit .  Old one. " This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast" That is a shame.  As I now have a better answer than any of the posts. Get a pair of tweezers and scrape down from the part of the foil roll that is "stuck".   Don't matter if it digs down into the layer beneath.  Try to maintain even digging across the roll. Worked a treat!

Why does Premiere Pro "Sequence from clip" on MP4 and then "Match Sequence" result in a massive AVI file?

-

Good Question! You would imagine that just "trimming" an MP4 file with same setting would be quick and painless, but when I tried it the resultant file was massive - like 10x the size of the original file. https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/match-sequence-settings-mp4-to-mpeg-is-this-normal/td-p/11042944 Turns out this is because the .mp4 compression means there aren't really full frames in the file just deltas. So when you select "Match Sequence Settings", it has to give you AVI format anyway. So this is what you HAVE to do.   Go ahead and create your HUGE AVI file.  Then use an app or an online service to compress it back down... I had a good result using  https://cloudconvert.com/avi-to-mp4 It shrunk the 76Mb AVI to less than half a Mb.

Churchill's Reaction to Eisenhower's Speech at the English Speaking Union 1951

I'm still reading Never Despair Winston S. Churchill  1945-1965 by Martin Gilbert.  It is a bible-sized book, albeit the print is slightly bigger, and it will take me a while yet. Recently I've come across an interesting chapter.   This section of interesting stuff starts on Page 619. Interesting to me, and those Brits and others on the EU side of the Brexit-argument, I've found more compelling evidence to answer the question:  " Would Winston Churchill have been in favour of Britain being in the EU?" .   Of course, I believe the answer (certainly after the War) was that he would have been in favour. Ike Eisenhower made a speech at the English Speaking Union Dinner on July 3, 1951.  Churchill was there.  Churchill didn't actually hear the speech well enough at the time, but read it's transcript the following day.  He was ecstatic when he did. Eisenhower and Churchill The relevant text, of the above mentioned book, is as follows;  " ...So pleased wa
