Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 26th February 2023 Teaser.

26th February, 2023.

Yes: I’m experimental, today.

One thing I got with a recent batch of birthday money … ?

I managed to get an extra webcam: as I’d been rather impressed with the camera Jude — my nephew — had for Christmas.

It’s not perfect: but works well enough, and can record in 2k resolution.

Whether it make’s much different to a video review?

I don’t know.

If you could let me know … ?

*        Hello, Mum!

†        That he does, Olga: did you know Zelenskyy’s a former actor, and stand-up comedian?   That explains his timing, and his media savviness.

        But, yes: it doesn’t surprise me that things aren’t always what they seem, over in Ukraine.   I get the impression that half of any given battle is fought in the media.

        It’s still going to be chilly, today, I think: but?   Still, we have sunshine … and birdsong!   (I hope that dictionary’s useful: it shows you the spellings, and where you can break a word, if you need to split it across lines.)

‡        It’s near enough exactly what I was after, Debbi.   It’s a spelling dictionary, rather than a book of definitions.   Handily, it distinguishes between US and British spellings: and uses bars (|) and broken bars (¦), to show where you can or may break a word across lines.   Not that I need that latter, but it is useful to know!
