Silly Tums down

The Avis car rental site has the most dismal search I've seen on a big corporate site -- It seems to expect a booking time, without giving any option to enter -- I then figured maybe if I put in the flight number it would give the booking time -- but it didnt recognise my flight number...Atrocious bad design, required fields which dont exist, and reliance on a search field (flight number) which could change, with new values possibly being added which are outside the control of the site operators. The Big Silly Tums down to Avis.co.uk and Avis.ie

The tribes of MVC/P

I'm trying to decide which camp I belong to -- the Event for Every Class crew or the Generic Event Service crew -- I lean towards the Generic Event Service crew -- Jeremy Miller has a whole article just on the concept in C# -- it would be a nightmare in VB6 but I'm going to try it. The Event for Every Class method is what I have done so far and I'm reluctant to publish the code (sorry, reader team of one :-)
