Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd November 2024.

2nd November, 2024.

Right, then: it’s officially Saturday.

And it’s one that’s going to be quiet: bar making a few videos.

Which — hopefully — will be in 4k.

That’s amazing to me: that an older model Mac mini can make videos in that kind of resolution.

Especially when the first Mini I got couldn’t handle the flame animations in Keynote!

Technology … !

A song …

*        Hello, Mum!

†        I’m not too sure about TheCollector.com, Olga: but I believe HowStuffWorks.com has a good reputation.   I might have to check them out more frequently.

        I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, Olga: hopefully, Barcelona will stay dry!

‡        I might be planning a Liverpool FC themed set at some point, Debbi: Jude’s a fan.
