The Daily Teaser — 9-6-2014

Eeeeeeewwwww … 

I think my eyeballs are melting … !

I have to admit, I’m up nice and early: I officially start my work placement, today.

The net result?

Is that my eyeballs are feeling just a touch bleary,

Personally … ?

Well, personally, I’m thinking I’m going to try and get an early night, today.

I think that’s going to help in the morning!

The Daily Teaser — 8-6-2014

To paraphrase The Mamas and The Papas?

La, La, Sunday, Sunday … !

Yeah, you’re right.

I’m looking at having a nice quiet day.

Which seems apposite, somehow.

Given that tomorrow is the first day on the Work Placement Scheme.

OK, granted, it’s a local charity shop.

But it’s nice to say I’ve got to get up for something in the morning!

Now … 

Let’s get a move on, shall we?

I think I’ve got some writing to do, before hand …

The Daily Teaser — 7-6-2014

I’ve got to admit, I’m glad that worked!   

An old friend’s recently got himself a new(ish) laptop — a second hand MacBook — after getting one too many virus’ on his Windows machines.

And, bless ’im, he let me cannibalise his two old desktops for parts, letting me have a couple of internal DVD drives, and the smaller internal hard-drive.   One with a older PATA connection.

I was and am grateful.

I get some extra storage space for my aging G4: and an upgraded DVD re-writer drive.

He get’s to sell on any other bits and bobs: a couple of video cards, a larger and more modern hard-drive, and some more substantial RAM modules.

Frankly … ?

Everybody’s happy!

The Daily Teaser — 6-5-2014: Weeeeeeeeed

Blimey, there’s a thing … !

Bless him, survival expert, Ray Mears, has been doing a three part series about the natural environment of the USA.

And … ?

Well, he’s just been doing a bit about stagecoach travel across the various bits of Arizona’s desert.

I’m just betting anyone travelling in the bloody things would’ve been glad when train travel became a viable alternative.

The trains would have been a LOT less cramped than the coach.

That’s not why I’d’ve taken the former.

No.

It strikes me the trains would’ve had something the stagecoach didn’t.

An on-board toilet … 

Yeah …

The Daily Teaser — 5-6-2014: The Apple ][

Hmmmm … 

In with the new and out with the old.

Which sounds like a strange thing to say: until you realise I’ve got the last ever episode of The Tomorrow People on in the background.

In one sense, it’s a shame it’s been cancelled: it was starting to shape up.

AND lead up to a frustrating cliff-hanger ending that will never be resolved.

On the other hand … ?

Channel 4’s E4 channel is trailing something called The 100: which looks like it could be interesting.

Possibly, we’ll have to see, won’t we?
