Royal Mail Problems

How rubbish are the royal mail in the UK and why oh why can’t they get it right ?

It just seems over and over they get it so wrong and their website and payments service is so bad it is pathetic.It is not as if this is new technology !Paid £12.75 at 12. O’Clock ish today and got an email at 16:36 saying they had failed to process it. How pathetic !!!! AND the physical office closes at 16:30

Frustrating and sad!




Holding ones Nerves


The Markets are turbulent so it makes sense to hold ones nerve - a risky time . . .

 

Bitrate for YouTube

It seems that the handling of streamed media from YouTube is handled by the Host machines processor and not the server machines hardware. This means it will be best to optimise for an average (1-2 Year Old) processor spec and encode SD at around 450kbits/sec and HD around 1350 kbits/sec (at 1280 x 720).
Hope this helps.
