Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11-6-2019: The Limelight Department.

11th June, 2019.

Yes: I’m off to an interview, today.

And … ?

I have to admit to nerves: and to the usual feeling that going would be pointless.

Hopefully, though?   I’ll be able to overcome that … and carry out the interview, with some success.

Possibly successful.

I’m always aware that these things aren’t guaranteed …

*        Cheers, Anne … !   I think I’m going to need it.   And you’re right: Tetris is great.   I usually go for Tetris Blitz, though.   And I’m betting you’re glad you didn’t get the Google Nest.   They didn’t tell people about their mic!   I’m just glad I’ve got an Apple TV … Oh … Good Morning!   (Oh, the Apple TV’s got a version of Pacman: it’s great fun!)

†        You’re, Olga: it would be equally handy on audio!   I get the same problem with some of my audio … !    Either way?   I’d imagine it’s quite powerful software, on powerful hardware: video rendering usually needs umph!   (That’s why that new MacPro’s so expensive: it’s VERY powerful!)

‡        Oh, THAT it is, Debbi, that it is!
