Chris and I are planning on getting out of Sydney for a couple of days over Easter.
So I went to Last Minute to find a place to stay. Found a decent deal ($120 per night on a public holiday), and went to click "Book".
Their system is made of fail. Apparently they didn't think to include error handling for if you enter spaces in the fields, just put a message at the top saying "Don't do it".
So the first time I clicked "Submit", I got Java machine errors from here to next week.
So I went back to the booking page, re-entered the details sans spaces, and clicked "Submit" again.
This time, I received an error along the lines of "Hotel fail credit card fail". Since I had no idea what that meant, but whatever it was, the booking had not been made, I went to WotIf instead - which had the same deal and no problems with strange things like spaces. It was willing to make the booking with no complaints...
Hooray stability!
