Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 21-10-2025 — You’re Making Me Dizzy

21st October, 2025: Dizzy Gillespie.

Ye gods, but I’m looking forward to payday!

I’m ever so slowly running out of milk.

So … ?   As I don’t get paid until Thursday?

I’ve just left a message with a local food bank, one that delivers.

Hopefully, they’ll be able to help … !

Which reminds me … it seems that AWS, Amazon’s cloud service, seems to be back online after an outage.

An outage that affected quite a lot of banks.

Including, I believe, mine: or, at least, it affected my bank’s owners.

It seems to be back online, now.

But this sort of thing is a worry.

Hopefully, one I won’t be affected by.

I’d hate to see my money get in late!

The Daily Teaser — 21-10-2014

Do you remember that yesterday, I said was giving the family laptop a going over?   Mostly where I was going to shift stuff off the machine, and on to an external drive.

One thing I thought was a problem was a message that cropped up: with a message about potential malicious software.

Bit of a worry on a Windows Machine, obviously.

It turns out it’s a bossier than expected Amazon toolbar.

Hmmm … 

I don’t know about you, but I’m none too sure I like the idea of extra toolbars: especially given this experience.

I think I’d rather have warnings about genuine malicious software.

Rather than invasively badly written ones.
