Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th December, 2019

27th December, 2019.

Right … 

We’ve officially come to the end of both Christmas … and my nephew’s birthday.

I think we can safely say all presents have been gratefully received: and used.

Including, I should add, the Chromecast.

Given Liverpool were playing on my nephew’s birthday … ?

Watching the match on Amazon Prime proved both enjoyable, appropriate, and showed my family how to use the thing.

That’s good.

Me, on the other hand, working out how access the information points on Lego Avengers?

Proved tricky.

But not as tricky as getting Hulk across the bridge.

Turns out getting Iron Man had to zap the logs on top of the hill, helped …

*        Oh, one of the junction boxes went, Olga?!   I’ve had something similar happen, myself.   The older routers I had — a few years ago — would reset themselves far more frequently than the newer ones.   Turns out it was signal spikes from the phone line causing the problem.   The engineers had to put in a widget that stopped it.   Technology … !   Hmmm … I think most of the smart set top boxes aren’t charged for: a friend’s been given an Apple TV by his ISP.   Mind you, he’s didn’t have Prime or Netflix: so he’s found the thing useful, and comparatively cheap to run.   Plus there’s ALWAYS something on YouTube!

†        Tell me about it, Debbi … !   You should see some of them … !
