Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th January 2026.

29th January, 2026.


It’s officially official: Apple have updated iMovie, Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

Apparently to improve performance and stability in iMovie’s case.

And to introduce bug fixes in the case of the iWork suite.

I can only hope those bug fixes address the overheating issues I’ve been having … 

~≈🔐≈~

There’s something else, as well.

Yes: YouTube have introduced a new feature.

I can now add a quiz to my videos!


Which seems a little pointless in the case of the Teasers … but I’m sure it will come in useful.

~≈⁇≈~

As another thought … ?

I got told, a day or two ago, that I could contact a human support agent on X/Twitter, if I paid for X Premium.

I signed up for the cheapest option available,

And, after waiting the advised amount of time … still can’t talk to a human.

I’ve had to fill in a form.

And also tried to use their Contact Us button.

Which just leads to a barrage of FAQs

‘FAQ’ … is not the word I’m using … 

~≈📇≈~

Just as a last thought … ?

My nephew, Jude, was over, last night.

Yes: pizza, garlic bread, chicken strips and chips were eaten.

And yes: a video was made.


Apparently, the main man in attack is Erling Harland …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th January, 2018

No, really … 

They do know how to sell you a cheap webcam.

Either that … ?

Or I’ve still not quite worked out how to sync the sound to the video … !

I think — as and when I have time — grabbing one of those intro videos, separating the audio and video, then using iMovie to re-sync them?

Would, assuming I have time, help.

~≈§≈~

Saying that?

That’s not really Amazon’s fault: more a feature of my buying choices.

What is their fault … ?

I’m in Damon House, in Rollason Way.

And, as you’d’ve possibly noticed, Amazon deliveries on my street?

Can be iffy, to say the least.

I actually had one, on Friday.

That was supposed to Watson Court, literally, over the road.

I’m blowed if I know why I ended up with it.

The only people I know in Watson Court are in number 4.

That’s for starters.

Whoever the package was for … didn’t actually ask me if I’b be their safe place.

Lastly … ?

The driver left the blessed thing on my door step.

On the doorstep: where anyone wondering into my building could grab it.

Yep, I’ve got the return labels already: having sent the email to Jeff Bezos, already.

But, dear me … !

~≈§≈~

The fact that, in all this?

That I’ve caught the opening episodes* of Mr Robot, series three, is almost incidental.

But that, at least, is looking very good.
