Virgin Media Broadband Speed Check!

by Cobby on Aug.17, 2010, under Njaka ~ Trouble ~ Solutions?, Virgin Media Cable

This is a list of Speed checks on my Virgin Media cable connection. I was sold and pay for a 50Meg XXL unlimited package?
What a Rip-Off?
These are completely random samples which I am taking and updating when I take them. We recently had a 7 day outage from Virgin and it was shrugged off as simply something that would be fixed when they get round to it. Luckily I have a second ADSL connection through BE (www.bethere.co.uk) on a BT landline. BE are an excellent company with good equipment.  I must say that BE give you what they say on the box and their customer service has been excellent. The Virgin and BE connections are Load shared over a Draytec dual band router. This way I can counteract the continual and persistent problems I have with my very very slow 50meg XXL connection from Virgin.

How to Design your own Fast Track intensive (Crash) driving course.

by Cobby on Jan.31, 2010, under Njaka Index Page

CarCaptain intensive driving schools, what you need to know to design your own Fast Track intensive (Crash) driving course.

How to Design your own Fast Track intensive driving course.

CarCaptain driving school specialises in designing an intensive course for the learner driver in accordance with his/her scheduled availability and requirements. The first decision the Learner driver has to make is as to whether they want an intensive course which will put them onto a Fast Track method of obtaining their driving licence. This is often governed by the budget they have available at the time that they consider the course.

14 days from first contact to licence. There is no need to wait!

(14 days after you have committed to doing the course you can be in receipt of your full driving licence. This is with the proviso that you already hold a valid UK provisional driving licence and that you pass your theory test at the date we manage to arrange it for you.)

The decision tree for this type of  Fast Track Intensive driving course will go along the following lines;

  • Have you obtained your provisional driving license from the DVLA?
  • What tests need to be taken, theory test?, – practical driving test?
  • Determine the number of Hours of driving tuition you would require. Consult the table.
  • How many hours of driving have you completed; how many of the  hours are under formal tuition ~ from a registered driving instructor (ADI)? How many hours of informal driving instruction ~ have you received from the Dad, Mom friend or Girlfriend etc..?
  • Have you done any Practical driving tests previously, how many and what where the things you failed on?
  • When are you available, and/or when do you want to start the course?
  • What times are you available for the structured Intensive (Crash) course?
  • When do you want to do your practical driving test or what time restraints govern the completion date of your practical driving test?

What the CarCaptain team will do when you have given them the information required;

  • Arrange to send you the course material you require for your course.
  • Book the theory and or the practical driving test to suite the arrangements made with the CarCaptain team.
  • Match you up with the Test Centres that suit your place of residence or the place where you will be staying while you are on your Fast Track intensive driving course.
  • Match you up with a CarCaptain DSA approved driving instructor. (ADI) To suit your Fast Track intensive driving course and to guide and help you every step of the way.
  • Confirm and monitor the Tests booked to suite your schedule and Diary. No need to be on a long wait.
CarCaptain specialises in getting you a short notice test and Fast Track course to the requirements of the demanding professional student who realises that;

  • time is money,
  • a quick finish is cheaper and much more cost effective,
  • getting it done quickly is much more rewarding and less tedious.

The impossible just takes a little longer to do.

Never ever give up! Never ever give up.

Cheapest Learner driver insurance available!

by Cobby on Jan.11, 2010, under Learner driver insurance

CarCaptain driving schools have teamed up with Provisional Marmalade to sell and support their products.

The key facts of the Learner driver insurance policy are;

  • this is a stand alone, short term, fully comprehensive, insurance policy, for the Learner driver,
  • the car in question has to be currently insured for another driver by another insurance company,
  • the insurance is only for provisional licence holders ~ Learner drivers,
  • the insurance is only valid while the insured provisional driver has not passed his practical driving test,
  • the car to be insured under the policy must be insurance group 16 or less and must have a current market value of £20,000 (Twenty thousand Pounds Sterling) or less,
  • the policy is only valid on the registered vehicle named in the policy,
  • the accompanying driver (supervisor) must be over the age of 25 years, have had their licence for 3 years or more, but does not need to be the owner the vehicle,
  • the supervisor is insured to drive the car under the Learner Driver insurance policy if it becomes necessary.

These are just a summary of the main restraining points of the Young Marmalade Learner driver insurance policy and by no means cover all the terms and conditions.

There can be no substitute for ‘practicing in’ good driving habits and having a car available for the Learner driver to hone the good driving skills taught to him by a qualified and dedicated driving instructor, this can only be beneficial to the Learner driver.

Mozilla Thunderbird redirect location of Data Files.

by Cobby on Jan.08, 2010, under Njaka ~ Trouble ~ Solutions?

I often work from different computers on my network and need to access my downloaded emails no matter where I worked from.

Have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for quite some time as I monitor 4 different mail boxes and download and send the emails from my local computer.

Mozilla Thunderbird can be setup so that you use a server to store the information and then by making changes to the “profiles.ini" file in your profile in the various computers you use to point at a common file location for your Thunderbird you always have the latest information available.

Here are the basic steps I took to accomplish this;

1. Located the information I required to accomplish this;
Link to ;  Move an existing profile or restore a backed up profile

2. Found the directory on my server which contained the profile being used by Thunderbird.

3. Set this directory so that it can be shared across my network and named it appropriately.

4. Then found the directory which was being used by Mozilla Thunderbird on my remote computer, and located the “profiles.ini” file which resides in the “%\Thunderbird\Profiles” directory.

5. Open the “profiles.ini” file,  after making a backup of the original file, and made the changes to direct Mozilla Thunderbird to the server to load the profile from their.
The following change must also be made on the “profiles.ini” file;
Change IsRelative=1 to IsRelative=0 (Zero as in number)

Top SEO company Smart Traffic.

by Cobby on Jan.05, 2010, under Njaka ~ Trouble ~ Solutions?

It is really difficult sometimes to embark on a new project, and find those trusted companies that are honest and real. The Internet world is fraught with scammers and opportunists who are out to collect your money without the delivery of real service. Every now and then you get the opportunity to meet a real gem of a company who do what they say and answer your queries.  These companies are often major contributors to your success or failure.

Our driving school business has been greatly supported by Smart Traffic.

A word of thanks to Dan and his team.

LinkMarket.com Help – only by Ticket – Review?

by Cobby on Dec.21, 2009, under Linkmarket Ticket help system ~ Review

Link Market ~ Review.

I really am at a loss here. Some time back I opened a ticket requesting information about the removal of broken links. The question at the time was as links adding is automated because I am a member is link removal also automated. The answer I got was yes it was just click on the remove tag and it is all done. Now I find out this is not the case. I have to manually go and remove the broken links!
That really just defeats the object. I have had such bad experience with this help of yours in the past. It just painful having to go through this again?


Do you or don’t you have automatic broken link removal. I have been a customer for ever and a day and paid you sacks of money. Please give me decent response.
Please refer to the following Blog as I will be posting your reply and and my queries.
