Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31-12-2023 — The Big Fat Review of the Year.

31st December, 2023: The Big Fat Review of the Year.

Just as a thought … ?

Can someone remind me to not upload to iCloud … when I’m trying to upload files to YouTube?

I’ve extra iCloud storage: that I’m now using to store large files on.

Or, at least, I’m in the process of upload large amounts of files on.

Or to, I should say!

At any rate, I’m uploading files to my iCloud storage.

And upload today’s Teaser video to YouTube.

The latter — as, I suspect, a result of the former! — is taking its time!

You have to love bandwidth issues, don’t you … ?

As you know … ?

I’ve had a lot of help, just recently: both in attempting to fix my old iMac.

And in acquiring a new one.

So … ?

I thought I’d show you what I’ve bought with your money.

And let you know I have it hooked up to a 24” Benq monitor over HDMI, two external hard drives*, a blu-ray drive, a webcam and a pair of speakers.

With the drives, webcam and speakers hooked up via a couple of hubs.

I hope that’s interesting: and suggests possible set-ups for others.

Nope — A Review.

6th January, 2023: Nope.

Right … 

Just out of curiosity?   How’s the audio on that intro video?

I have to admit: I got curious about the basic — very basic, I’m no sound engineer! — things I could do with the open source sound app, Audacity.

I think — by adding a distortion effect to the audio, then reimporting icon into iMovie — I’ve got an interestingly tinny effect.

That’s possibly not what you were expecting, were you?   A discussion of audio tweaking!

No.

You were expecting me to do what I’ve been doing on odd evening.

Telling you I’m planning to watch a movie … once I’ve had dinner.

Dinner’s will be going onto a plate, any minute.

Then eaten.

Then?

I’m going to watch a film … and tell you about it, tomorrow night …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-1-2023 — New Year’s Day.

1st January, 2023: New Year’s Day.

Right … it’s now the first day of 2023.

So … ?

I can officially say this: 

Happy New Year!

Frankly?

I can only hope the weather’s milder: the summer of 2022 — and the week before Christmas, 2022 — were comparatively extreme.

Forty degree heat, and -16, overnight?

Is not something I want to live through, too often!

~≈★≈~

At any rate … ?

I didn’t catch a film, last night: as I was looking after my nephew, Jude.

We ended up chatting, for the most part.

So there’s no video, today.

We’ll have to see what happens, next time.
