Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23rd May 2026.

23rd May, 2026.

It’s officially official: I can jump around the room, after I had a password adventure!

I went shopping, yesterday: as it was payday.

And picked up an Apple Gift card, to help play my cloud storage bills.

I got home, had lunch, recorded and uploaded a video … 

And, when the video had finished uploading … ?

Tried feeding the code on the card into my Apple Account … 

Which got refused … repeatedly … 

And reset … repeatedly … 

It was only after re-starting, siding in and out of Music.app, restarting again, signing in and out of Music.app, then re-starting, again, THEN signing in and out of Music.app and TV.app … 

All of this with my left foot in a bucket of cold porridge.

It was only after all that, that the new password stuck.

‘Password adventure’ … is possibly putting it mildly …

“That movie was all right to make, but you know, Stanley likes to do a lot of takes. It gets kind of boring, but when you take a job, you do it.” Scatman Crothers, May 23, 1910 – November 22, 1986.

And a song …
