Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3-4-2019: Marlon

3rd April, 2019.

Yes … 

It’s officially official … 

macOS Mojave 10.14.4 is now available for users to install.

I have to admit, I’ve been expecting that: ever since the big show and tell at the end of March.

It’s all to the good … 

Although, frankly?

I’m hoping the update doesn’t through iMovie out, even further.

~≈§≈~

Can I make a mild confession … ?

I actually watched a TV show, last night: that I didn’t actually fancy reviewing.

Frankly?

I felt some thing of a break, there was in order.

And that the documentary concerned, The Yorkshire Ripper Files: A Very British Crime Story, wasn’t something I’d usually cover.

And I managed to binge watch all three episodes … at an hour a piece.

That said … ?

That said, the thing was … 

Was a fascinating watch: nicely summing up the terror one man managed to inflict on the UK.

The terror … AND the attitudes of the time … AND the behaviour of the police.

The mix of incompetence, bad practise, and inappropriate technology … ?

Made worse by the fact the man leading the investigation was convinced THAT tape was genuine?

Well … 

~≈§≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?
