Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th October 2026.

24th October, 2026.

Joyously?

It’s Saturday!

Which means I’m facing a decision.

Do I have a haircut, today … ?

Or do I leave it until I next get paid, next week?

I might just leave it.

My nephew’s over, later: and frankly?

The sweetshop’s in the other direction …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23-10-2026 — The International Day of the Snow Leopard

23rd October, 2026: the International Day of the Snow Leopard.

OK … 

I was hoping the AI generated thumbnail for the introductory short would make me look more like Dr Prunesquallor, than a Victorian gentlemen with a prune … 

But?

It’s a better image than I could do, by hand.

Heigh ho!

~≈🧑🏼‍⚕️≈~

I’m also aware it’s payday, today.

And that I have to go shopping, and bill paying.

And that it’s raining.

Prunes, or not … ?

I’m going to get wet …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22nd October 2026.

22nd October, 2026.

Right … it’s the day before payday … and … ?

I’m looking forward to being able to have milk in my tea!

Heigh … ho … !

Have you heard of a coding language called PHP?   It’s also known as Personal Home Page, or PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor?

It’s one of the coding languages that underpins the modern web … and … ?

Researchers have used AI on the language, and found previously undiscovered security flaws.

Understandably, there’s a bit of a flap going on: with crackers already looking to exploit the holes.

On a personal level?

On a personal level, this doesn’t seem to be affecting my online banking systems: nor much of the sites I use on a regular basis.

But?

It’s a little worrying, isn’t it … ?

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21st October 2026.

21st October, 2026.

Right … it’s Wednesday.

Which means I’ve published a review of “The Griffin Incident”, the second episode of Star Trek Strange New World’s fourth season.

It’s very good.

But I think that — had it aired on terrestrial TV — it would’ve aired after the watershed, had cuts … and come with a content warning!

Heigh ho!

~≈🖖≈~

It’s still Wednesday.

And also the sixtieth anniversary of the Aberfan Disaster, back in 1966.

That … ?

Well … 

I’m kicking myself for not realising that, and marking it with a question set.

But I’m also aware that might be slightly tasteless.

After all, up until Hillsborough and the Grenfell Tower Fire, was the worst man-made disaster in British history.

It … 

Well … it makes you think, doesn’t it* … ?

Star Trek Strange New Worlds — Series 5 Episode 2 — “The Griffin Incident” — A Review

16th October, 2026: “The Griffin Incident”.

The Introduction.

OK: this is a written review, and I’m starting it on Friday, 16th October, 2026.

There’s two, trivial things I should highlight.

One?

I’m having fish and chips.

It’s Friday, after all.

Why are we supposed to fish and chips — or, at least, fish — on a Friday?

I wish I knew.

Either way, fish is in the oven, and chips are going to get made, and eaten!

Secondly?

I posted today’s Daily Teaser quiz, this morning.

Complete with a joke, by way of introduction.

About cows hooves … 

What’s sadder than the joke … 

Is the fact it’s have a lot of likes.

And has had me wondering around the flat, all day, making ‘mooooo’ noises.

Roll on the next episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds … !
