Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-4-2024 — The International Day of Conscience

5th April, 2024.

Right … it’s officially Friday.

And … ?

I’m reading up various bits and bobs: on how to install a version of macOS onto an external drive.

As my main drive is slowly running out of space.

I have a good idea of how to do it: but need to download the installer to do so.

Given how the App Store works?

It means the installer will be downloaded to my main drive: the one that hasn’t got the space … !

Added to that … ?

Is the simple fact I have to got to town, today: to pick up a sharps bin.

In the rain.

Ho … bloody … hum …
