I spent Friday working on the code behind the new Category and Single Post pages. As yet I haven't managed to get it into the site. I also got to test Thriftway's online search/booking system. It works well though I did encounter a problem. Upon trying to book a low-cost flight, in this case with Easyjet, the credit card we were using failed to autheticate. Not exactly that great when it comes to customer satisfaction.

This resulted in me spending what felt like an hour on the phone with the company TelMe, who manage the flight search/booking system that we use. The person I spoke with was most useful, and between the pair of us we managed to identify that the bug did not affect the majority of the bookings system, but was a fault somewhere in the low-cost bookings, and could have simply been that the card was declined or temporarily blocked for some reason. The person I was dealing with said he'd look into the issue and get back to us.
