Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th April, 2020.

9th April, 2020.


You know … 

Stuff occurs … 

It usually does!

Some of the stuff that occurs?

Is yours truly, browsing the ’net.

Late at night.

And managed to find a news piece — from Macworld, no less — telling us that people were having issues with macOS 10.15.4 Catalina.

Something I can believe: I think Catalina’s been having issues ever since it was released.

The last kernel panic I saw, was in February!

So that should tell you something.

At any rate, macOS 10.15.4 has been causing issues, in and of itself.

Enough that Apple’s released a supplemental patch, today.

Am I surprised?

Nope!

*        I could never quite get the hang of meditation, Debbi.   Mind you, I could never get the hang of exercise!   (Actually … ?   The average Seder meal is better that I could do!)

†        Surely that’s a disadvantage in an actress?

  1. Er, not necessarily on the second one. Good acting is to a great extent the ability to connect emotionally and psychologically, with a part. Empathy, in other words. So, in a way, one is being oneself. Without actually being it. I think that might be a tautology. :)

    2. Columbine

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
