Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29th January, 2024

29th January, 2024.


It has to be said: I’m up early, again!

Yes: it’s Monday.

So, of course, that means I’m off to my weight management meeting.

Hopefully?

I’ll lost some weight.

Assuming those bran flakes are having an effect!

Did I mention I have a new webcam?

Nolansend 4K Webcam: one that seemed — given its advertised capabilities — a reasonable price*.

It is an improvement on my previous external camera: the audio’s OK, it does well at 720 and 1080 resolutions, and the colour range is good.

But … ?

Whatever it says — on the Amazon listing, or the box — it does not record in 4k.

I’ve left a bad review, as a result.

We’ll have to see what happens.

Just as a final thought … ?

I tried watching a film, last night.

The Nicolas Meyer directed, made for TV, movie, The Day After.

I’d been meaning to watch it, after seeing Threads, last year: as I felt a ‘compare and contrast’ style of review would be an idea.

I got through the first forty minutes or so.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so bored in my life!

Threads?   Had a far smaller cast to keep track of: and seemed to be far better paced.

The Day After’s first forty minutes?

Had too many people standing around, listening to the radio.

As distressing as I found Threads†?

It was a far better watch than The Day After.
