I tried to sign up for a guided nightly walk in a nature reserve near where I live.
A friend of mine signed up at a specific time and asked if I come too.
I walk there almost weekly, but sure.
So I went to the website, chose my location and the time I wanted to participate and hit next.
I now need to sign up as a participant, a group or join an existing group.
So I'm thinking I need the group at that specific time, so I tick the group radio button.
Take a look at the groups, not what I'm looking for and decide to sign up as participant anyway (check that radiobutton).
Now I need to create a profile, ughhh... I hate doing that, but fine. I'll create your blasted profile!
All this time it's not really clear what I'm signing up for. My location or time aren't mentioned anywhere.
No confirmation or overview screen whatsoever and a payment later it seems I've joined some group at the other side of the country!
Got to read that in the mail I received after my payment.
Went to my profile page to see if I could change my trip, but I couldn't.
What I could change was my plain text unencrypted password...
I then went to my group page, I joined a group of total strangers, and I could somehow edit their personal info like name and email address.
I'm still like

Got in contact with them and they'd try to put me in the correct walk.
It was booked full though, so if that's not possible (the guide will be the judge of that I guess) I'll ask for my money back.

Are you sure you haven't signed up for a special Nigerian night walk.

Err...you handed them your credit card?

Credit card? We barely use those in the Netherlands 
I got one a few weeks back, but I haven't even activated it yet...

iDeal, how else?

Dig out their contact info, you have a perfect excuse to rip someone a new one so get on the phone and shove it as high as you can go. You want a manager and the web designer bleeding out your hand piece.

Actually I called and explained very nicely that something had gone wrong.
I was told to send an email to the guy that handles those walks, which I did.
Got a reply very soon after that saying he'd contact the guide and try to put me in the correct walk.
I thanked him politely!
I prefer not to rip or bleed anyone if I don't have to
As for the password, I simply changed it to something I'd never use anywhere, something like 123456

Have you reported them for obligatory shaming yet?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I want one! ...and I don't even play Minecraft. It seems the Star Trek Holodeck is one step closer.

I got a chance to try one during Build in April, and it is a great first step. However the demo videos are a bit misleading as the actual range of view is not that big. You have to be looking right at the hologram to see it, so some holograms get cut off when you hold your head straight and use your eyes to look up, down, left and right. I want to be able to see the holograms in my peripheral vision too, then it will be awesome!
But as I said, a great first step. We are on our way towards holodecks!

The security was interesting too. They make you place your jackets, phones, and any recording devices in a locked locker and then took us to a room across the hallway that had a beautiful view of the city. At one point one of the MS folks suggested taking a picture of the panoramic view. Ha ha...  ...some kind of test I guess
