Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-4-2024 — Nunavut

1st April, 2024: Nunavut.

It’s Monday!

And I think I’ve — partially — solved a problem.

I have a new Mac — thanks, once again, to a lot of helpful friends and family! — that I’m slowly getting used to using.

And that — wouldn’t you know it? — has run out of main drive space, already!

I’m thankful I know how to get around that: by moving a large media library — one where I store large video files — from the main drive, to an external one.

Hopefully, that will help*.

If not … ?

I could be looking at re-setting the operating system … three months after being bought the thing!

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        What doesn’t help at the moment?   Is that the current version of the operating system is what’s called a ‘Universal’ version.   In other words, there’s code for the two different types of processors most currently available Macs have.   When Apple releases an Apple-silicon-only version for my machine?    I’ll have more space!

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        OK, Olga, I think I’m interested of The Man Who Never Was: we’ll have to see if I get any spare cash for a copy!

        Yeah, that’s — sort of — the thing, Olga.   I’ve not read much of the (English language) Wikipedia article on the condition — I didn’t want to influence myself — but the opening paragraphs do ring a few cherries.

        Which remind me, maybe doing an SEO for Dummies course maybe good.   I’ll have to have a look.   And I think I should apologise for all the drunken Brits in Torremolinos.   (They’re not the Messiahs, they’re very naughty people!)

§        Phew!   Glad to hear it, Debbi!

        Actually, Romford really isn’t that bad.   Once the locals have headed for Torremolinos.   Or Ibiza.   Or Benidorm.   Or somewhere!

        Actually, a trip to Romford was quite exciting, when we were kids.   It was the first town in Essex to have a branch of McDonalds: which was quite exotic in the late 1970s.   (The nearest Britain could do, at the time?   Were Wimpy.)
