Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26-6-2019: William 4th.

26th June, 2019

It’s true: I’m feeling mildly cynical.

Blame my age, maybe!

At any rate, the most exciting thing that’s happened since I’ve got up … ?

Is that Pages, Keynote and Numbers have been updated.

And you can now do all sorts of weird and wonderful things with the fonts: as Apple have added some font effects.

Frankly?

That looks … 

Well, they’ll make the Teaser videos look interesting.

And some very subdued ones may — may — make my CV look eye-catching.

We’ll see.

~≈§≈~

Just as a quick, and minor, piece of news … ?

Did you ever hear about the Raspberry Pi, the British made, single board computer: that’s started life as an educational tool?

Well, the fourth version’s been released: which will possibly add to the machine’s position as the UK’s best selling computer.

There’s something else.

One has been used to hack NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab.

That … ?

Is what I call advertising … !

Let’s move on, shall we?
