Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 17th February, 2020.

17th February, 2020.


Yep: I’ve officially spent last night in front of a computer screen.

Reviewing The Haunting of Villa Diodati, last night’s episode of Dr Who.


Did I tell you I’m knackered as a result?

I’m knackered as a result.

Still … 

I can go back to bed later … 

~≈Ö≈~

Possibly … ?

After I’ve done a little fiddling about.

Remember me mentioning that I’m potentially getting hold of a cheap laptop?

And trying to set up an Ubuntu installer for it?

The app I’ve got, that — theoretically — lets me do this, seems to be having issues.

I have managed to find instructions on how to do this, via a set of Terminal commands.

All well and good: except that — as far as I can tell — I need to enable my root account: and set up a password for it.

Not necessarily something I’m comfortable about: as the root account is too powerful for every day use.

I think … I’ll have to use my old MacPro: then let you know …

The Daily Teaser — 17-2-2015

Oh, now, that’s a disappointment.

You know I’d been watching Gotham, when Channel Five aired the first half, late last year?

Disappointingly?   It wasn’t on, again, this week.

Which left me feeling furious.

Thankfully … ?   Channel Five have just announced the show’s second half will be aired in March of this year: some three weeks after it’s airing in the US.

I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for it.   However?   This mid-season break has left me feeling very angry.

And thinking “Should I bother watching a second series, if, as and when it airs?   OR other US series?”

Off the top of my head?

I’m thinking “No”.

That mid-season hiatus is just too off-putting.
