Donald Trump's small anus like mouth.

 

And the way he talks with one of his fingers always pointing up.

Something small that really annoys me is when I am interrupted when typing in a reply to Geekzone and a little while later when I finish it off and push the "post reply" button I find that nothing happens and all my text is LOST! Presumably this is because there is a time limit on making a reply, so I know now that I have to first copy everything I have typed on to the clipboard in case the system times out and all my valuable typing and wisdom is yet again lost to the world!

And here's something else that really annoys me, the Geekzone login process asks me to identify which photos have storefronts, or grass, or rivers, or trucks, or ... well you name it. I don't do too badly with these "lame" intelligence tests, but when I am given another lot of pictures to look at without telling me what I did wrong in the previous attempt is "really annoying" to say the least! Most sites just require a login name and a password and surely that's good enough??

Fred

OK while I'm still in the mood, it really annoys me that the Geekzone computer can't tell the time! It seems to be a couple of hours out, so Geekzone please stop telling me it's dinner time when I still have 2 hours more work to do before I can stop for a meal!

No, it's not good enough. 62% of the login attempts fail the captcha as robot traffic. This means some people actively try to login to accounts, guess passwords, etc via automated means. I rather have this and protect YOUR account than being blamed later.

Just go to your profile page and fix the timezone.

Small things that annoy me? People who have the capability in their hands to fix the timezone but don't do it.

Half of those login attempts are probably me trying to get back in. I have fond memories of the days before all this captcha nonsense started.

Pizza from Pizza Hutt, when they can't cut it into eight equal sized pieces.

You have a life dear.....me.

Life. Not wife. 

But seriously... I went off Pizza Hut (I don't think you need two 't's unless you're ordering from my local) altogether. Moving to a new Lower Hutt store hasn't improved the service or the quality.

I think I've cycled through all the local pizza stores. It's probably my favourite takeaway, but only if it's done well. I went from Pizza Hut to Domino's, to Hell, then Wholly Bagels. I'm now firmly a Mediterranean Food Warehouse fan. Their pizzas are excellent. More expensive but totally worth it.

... and what issues from it is .....

Not sure if this qualifies as something small but I am absolutely sick of and fed up with all the $%$%#!@# pop-ups now on every last web page inviting me to take some survey or join some mail list just because I have briefly clicked into the page, usually when I am searching for something. God, those are irritating. I have had to install a javascript switch on my browser just so I can quickly flick through sites without the stupid pop-ups.

It is no different to having a live socket outlet at desk height, perfectly legal and safe

Care and inspection of extension cords

 

• Extension cords are meant to provide a temporary solution and should not be used as a long-term or permanent electrical connection. 

Regardless of whether or not the cord is being used, as long as the cord is plugged into an outlet socket, it’s conducting electricity.  To avoid potential safety hazards, always remember to switch off, unplug, and store your extension cords away safely when they’re not in use.

 

Now these are the things that really annoy me... Work safe making stuff up, sure the other parts of the this quote about using cords outside are fine but:

1. There is no Act, or Regulation in New Zealand that says "Extension cords are meant to provide a temporary solution and should not be used as a long-term electrical connection"

2.  A "permanent Electrical connection is by definition not a "plug in" connection.. so again they are talking rubbish

3.  A cord is not "conducting Electricity" unless it is connected to a load (pedantic I know, but if it is not true it should not be spouted as fact by worksafe)

An extension cord is no different in construction or use than the "jug-plug" cord that goes from the wall to your laptop power supply. You can even buy extension versions or longer versions if you want.

So feel free to poke your extension cord or jug-plug (IEC) cord or whatever up the hole in your desktop and even plug in a multi-outlet power board if you want, as long at it has been tagged in the last 5 years and looks ok, go for it (if you move it around in normal use have it tested every 2 years)

This doesn't actually annoy me, but I do wonder when the local Countdown is going to get around to changing to the "new" apple-peel logo...

Perhaps they're worried they're one of the six that Woolworth's are going to close, so thinking it might not be worth spending money on a facelift.
