Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th July, 2020.

15th July, 2020.

It’s happened, again!

I’ve got Bowie’s Girl Loves Me — possibly the only song I know, written partially in Nadsat — banging around my head.

Why, I don’t know.

~≈¥≈~

That’s one thing.

The other thing … ?

Is I’ve now been published on the Phoenix FM site.

You can read my piece on digital poverty, here.

I don’t know if I’ll be asked to a follow interview.

But DO know Paul — the DJ I was dealing with at the station — is planning to mention the thing on air.

Here’s hoping I get a response … !

I’m assuming you’re in the UK, yes?   Unless you’re some of my regular readers, of course!

At any rate, it you’re in the UK, you’ll have noticed that the UK government’s banned the use of Huawei equipment in UK phone networks.

I’m in two minds.

I understand their stuff’s a security risk.

But, if I’ve understood what the news has told me over the years?

A big factor in Huawei kit being used, is simply that it’s cheap.

I think the ban is good … if the government introduced price controls, with it.

After all, the telecoms companies that now have to strip Huawei kit from their networks, are going to have to spend a fortune to do so^.

15th July, 2018.

Right, then … it’s a Sunday … 

Which you’d possibly guessed.

Which means … ?

Well, frankly, dinner at my family’s, and finding out what my nephew, Jude, has been up to.

Oh … 

And try and get some laundry done!

It might JUST pay me to put a few things on the airer, as well …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-7-2016

BLAST … 

I didn’t get the job … !

As you may or may not know, I had an interview, on Wednesday: down in London.

Hell of a trip on the tube, I should add.

I got the email, back, yesterday: to tell me I’d not been chosen for a second interview, late last night.

Definitely upsetting, that: that was a definite blow to my self-esteem.

Frankly?

It’s a blow.   It doesn’t mean I’m going to stop looking for alternative employment.

But it’s a definite blow.

~≈Ê≈~

I had a bad day, yesterday.   I’ll happily admit that.

Frankly, though?

I don’t think I’ve had as bad a day as the town of Nice.

Early reports started coming in, last night.

It seems that a lone attacker drove a truck along the main sea-front, there: killing at least eighty-four people in the process.

I can only offer my condolences to those who’ve lost loved ones, there.

And my hope that these attacks can stop.
