Where are those updates!

Coming next week...

Week off work while builders do some big ground works, so I will be doing work in the study...

Hopefully the walls and everything will be sorted by end of week so that I can start prepping to paint.

 

[labratza]

Dam guys wow mine is just as bad. will post a picture when get home later

 

[Wall]

Whoah, You guys really have a mess going on.

My plugs are quite neat compared to that.

A slightly clearer view with the adapters coming out of hiding somewhat...



I should probably do something about this at some point. Perhaps dust it off and move them into neater piles...

That's what you think now, 6 months later you will have spaghetti again

I would sort that out if I was you. Looks a proper mess and that's without considering how hazardous it could be.

It's completely hidden. I moved the wall unit to get in there and snap a pic. The fire hazard bit I'm concerned about - haven't had a reason to look behind there in about a year. Now I remember why I haven't.

Time for some cable-ties and adding an extra plug point, methinks...

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Hazardous! Best to clean up there ASAP...

 

[IceQB]

Geez, I feel good about mine now. Will have to show the wife these, maybe then she'll stop telling me its a mess!

Shoosh... I like living in my delusions

 

[Compton_effect]

Perfect timing. A dutch coworker just sent me a link to some hardware and accidentally made my day.

That was the exact reason I started this thread

Bit of the topic, but few things I think most do not like and which I see in all those 'kraainesse'...


1) Those ***** simple 2 point plugs that never make proper contact.....

2) Those ***** 2 point plugs where they build the transformers into the plug part, always take up all the bloody space and never fit properly in a 2 point socket,

3) The round 2 point jobbies coming from Europe I think....

Will we ever just have one simple standard i.e. one kind of plug... we can then make proper adapters/multi-plugs for them....

They should make a 220V USB type plug. Just think of the ease with all plugs like that and a multi-plug with like 20 outlets.....

There are plenty concepts, IEC 60906 (more at Pop Mac South African invention) comes to mind.

Then there is also one based on the Folding plug that was designed by a women in Britain.

Problem is people need to pic one.

There should be one kind of plug for each kind of voltage and frequency. Fat plugs should be banned.
