Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th April, 2020.

9th April, 2020.

You know … 

Stuff occurs … 

It usually does!

Some of the stuff that occurs?

Is yours truly, browsing the ’net.

Late at night.

And managed to find a news piece — from Macworld, no less — telling us that people were having issues with macOS 10.15.4 Catalina.

Something I can believe: I think Catalina’s been having issues ever since it was released.

The last kernel panic I saw, was in February!

So that should tell you something.

At any rate, macOS 10.15.4 has been causing issues, in and of itself.

Enough that Apple’s released a supplemental patch, today.

Am I surprised?

Nope!

The Present's Tale: In Brentwood Library ...

7th March, 2020.

OK ...this is possibly getting to be a habit.   Possibly.

I've started a post, without an introductory video.

Debatably, a good thing: if you're not used to my ugly mug.

At any rate?

I've recently been given a cheap, refurbished, laptop.   A Lenovo Thinkpad T-400, so you know.

One I've installed a version of Ubuntu Mate on: as a replacement for the version of Windows Seven the sellers had installed by default.

The installation, I should add?   Was done on Thursday.

I had intended to do that from a version of the installer I'd managed -- after a lot of coaxing -- onto a US?B stick.

One that this laptop wouldn't recognise.

So I eventually installed from a DVD.

The process was fairly easy, and took a lot less time than I remember earlier installations doing.

Bar the odd quirk -- there's one important password that needs resetting -- it's running well.
