Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th September, 2019

26th September, 2019.

Yes: after a late night, Tuesday and Wednesday … ?

I’ve got an easy start, today … !

Easy?

Early!

You see … ?

My typing’s abysmal, this time of the morning … !

~≈€≈~

Oh … 

Just as a quick point … ?

I’ve been doing a little reading up on things.

Mostly?   The model of Playstation that the family’s looking at, for Jude.

I knew the thing could record games — the amount of stuff on Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, et al — told me that.

But I’ve found pages like these to be useful.

And … ?

Frankly means getting someone a USB drive could be a good idea … 

~≈€≈~
