Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-11-2025 — World Television Day


21st November, 2025: World Television Day.


It has to be said: I’m feeling quiet … 

Which is odd for me.

Or possibly not: given recent news.

With that said … ?

Gill Veail — Trevor’s sister — has asked me to thank everyone that’s passed on their condolences, after his recent death.

Thank you: you know who you are.

~≈💐≈~

It’s officially official: I have the sun in my eyes.

Which is what happens on a sunny day, when you buy cheap blinds!



Or, at least, have cheap blinds … on a sunny day.

Either way … ?

I can’t complain too much.

Yes, it’s a cold day … but yes, it’s also payday.

Which means I can do something positive.

Like shop … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-11-2024 — World Television Day

21st November, 2024: World Television Day.


I think we can safely say I have a new Mac.

“I have a new Mac”.

And that I set it up, yesterday: with about the expected amount of swearing!



Pairing my Android phone with the new machine involved searching through System Settings, to change two different Bluetooth settings.

 Copying my Photos and iMovie library to the new machine was simple: although getting my AppleTV 4K to recognise that Home Sharing was on, and my media library was over here … involved changing the name of my media library.

Oh, and the power button … ?

Is in the bottom left hand corner to the machine.

Literally!


As for the new keyboard?

The old keyboard has a FN key in the upper left hand side, and an eject button.


The new one, by contrast?

Has a finger-print key instead of the eject button, and moves the FN key to the bottom left.


The new one has a fingerprint sensor, instead of the Eject button.

And puts the FN button in the bottom left hand corner.

That’s … well, as wonderfully tactile as this new keyboard feels — you can lock your screen by pressing the fingerprint button, the FN button calls up the character viewer, the button marked ‘What’s This’ doesn’t do much beyond call up context menus— that does mean re-learning a few keyboard shortcuts.

It’s going to take a while to get used to it!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-11-2023 — The Sun Always Shines On TV.

21st November, 2023: The Sun Always Shines On TV.


Right … 

It’s officially official: I’ve had my diabetic retinopathy check.

And will be getting a letter about the results, soon.

By post.

I may possibly need to resit the test: as the cataract in my left eye was making the photo — specifically of my left eye — difficult.

We’re going to have to see.

So to speak!

The Daily Teaser — 21-11-2015: World Television Day

You know, I THINK we could be looking at a nasty winter.

Possibly.

As I write, I’ve got the heating on.

Nothing new, there, this time of year.

But I’m ALSO aware was definitely nippy, yesterday: and looking JUST as nippy, today.

Personally … ?

I think wearing a jumper, when I go to work, will be an idea.

Maybe other clothes, too!

The Daily Teaser — 21-11-2014: World Television Day

ARGH!

Once again with the wrong shift!

Turns out that, yesterday, when I thought I had the day off?

I was supposed to be working, in the evening!

Talk about embarrassing!

Thankfully, I think everyone was fairly forgiving about it: as I’m a new boy.

Still … That’ll teach me to read the rota, correctly … !
