Useless (to me) universal power plug to sell ...

Well it looked so great. A connect everthing to every country powerplug adapter, bought at heathrow.

But guess what - it does not work with my German power plugs - and I idiot never tested it of course. At home there are now 3 working adapters and I am here with one universal - just not for me.

Thank god the hotel had this baby for me - but I am afraid they want it back which is why I do some charging of batteries now - not sure when I will find the next available one :(((

Anyone wanna buy that baby from me for $25, just grab me at the Web 2,0 Expo as it should work perfectly for UK / US use :(

Es funktioniert für den zwei polige stecker, nur nicht für den drei poligen IEC steckern. Ich hab einfach auf eine APC multi adapter umgegestiegen.

About

female. european. geek.

About Nicole Simon I love working with people and help them get successful, especially through the use of social software. Though I have been on the net for over a decade and have consulted SMB for years, I also understand the corporate side, as I have worked in a major corporation for 15 years.

If you need a name for what I do, I usually call myself a European New Media Specialist with a special interest in (micro) blogging, podcasting and second life. I also love to 'testdrive' products / concepts which is best described as Technology Implementation Analyst. Recently I have finished the German Twitter book and will specialize a bit in 2009 on this topic as well as building more bridges between communities.

You can read more about me on my Xing profile or contact me for more information.

When I do interviews (mainly pre conference podcasts I put them up here: Bloxpert so I can seperate blog / podcast talk a bit more from the stuff here.

Useful Sounds is my personal podcast, and I also have a German blog. Living in Lübeck, Germany, a European point of view comes with everything.

Why ctbk? Smooth-tongued responses are for the timid ones, and if there are no challenges, there is nothing to gain either. :)
