Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th March 2026

15th March, 2026.

Yes: it’s official: my nephew was over, yesterday.

And yes: he’s made a video.

Using my copy of Final Cut Pro, I should add, as he can’t access it using his user account.

I’m assuming is because I’m using the rental version of the app, rather than the purchased version.

At any rate, Jude’s made that FC ’26 video using Final Cut, rather than iMovie, found some interesting sound effects … and helped me find the pitch altering effects in the process.

Can you hit the like button, on that video, please?

That would be a nice way of saying ‘Thank You’!

As an additional thought … ?

I tell you — in today’s introduction video — that I’d had a realisation … !

One that’s a lot less exciting than an enthusiastic marketer would have you believe.

I got a webcam, late last year: one that cost a fortune, at the time, one I couldn’t afford again, and one that — in theory —could record in 4k.

Yes: I still have to figure that out!

But … ?

One that worked well enough.

My only problem … ?

Was the fact the cable was wearing a bit thing.

Which had me worried: my (limited) experience of webcams told me I’d need to replace the whole unit: something I couldn’t afford to do.

It wasn’t until I did a little reading up on the model concerned, that I realised the thing had a separate, connecting cable: one that could be easily replaced.

And cheaply replaced, at that.

I was thankful!

As, while I’m aware I’m be spending money, I’ll be spending less than I was expecting.

Here’s a thought …

“It is essential to woman’s equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.   If you impose restraints that impede her choice, you are disadvantaging her because of her sex.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, March 15, 1933 – September 18, 2020.

*        Hello, Mum!   (It was Valentine’s Day, Mum, rather than Christmas Day.)

†        Sixteen?   That’s not much older than Jude, Olga.   And it would be surprising … if it weren’t for the fact teens being killed in the UK, is a regular occurrence.   It’s shocking … but it’s not surprising …
