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 … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20th October 2026.

20th October, 2026.

That’s embarrassing, isn’t it … ?

You’re talking to one of the staff in Sainsbury’s … and your phone goes off!

Yes: I officially got a call to arrange something … at the worst possible time!

It’s OK: I phoned them back later.

And now officially have an ultrasound on my liver, booked for the first week of November.

I’m looking forward to it.

At least to the trip.

It’s going to be cheap: as it’s taking place in Brentwood Community Hospital.

Thank Gods for that!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 19-10-2026 — The Jewel Heist

19th October, 2026: the Heist.

Right … it’s officially Monday!

Which means I’m off into town, for my weight management meeting!

I hope I’ve lost some weight.

But whether — ! — I have or I haven’t, I’m going to need a coat.

Compared to the heatwaves we’ve had, this summer, it’s looking chilly, out.
