I remember it as MakeWords.com, a useful site which would usually suck hours of my life away showing me domain names I didn’t originally know I wanted/needed. It would usually come up with the results though, providing me with a decent domain for a new project or site. So when I wanted to dial in [...]

Audi A4 B6 (2002-200?) Fix for Airconditioning stuck on ECON mode (Replace High-Pressure Sensor/Thrust sensor G65)
I am no mechanic, not even close, but after a spout of successful self fixes on my Audi I thought I would post this, purely because when I was going about trying to fix this particular issue myself there was about 100 slightly different versions of solutions on google, of which a lot give misleading/confused [...]

You can see they have made a lot of ground with ridiculous processing, claiming to be able to run SQL queries (or a derivative) on trillion’s of rows in [...]
