Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-4-2019: The Big M.

15th April, 2019.

It’s official: I’m going to be looking after my nephew, this afternoon.

I think the pair of us are looking forward to it: he’s just video phoned me to say so.

Bless!

Either way … ?

It should be fun … so long as we can find stuff to do.

Oh, while you’re there … ?

I’ve just seen this piece flat past past on the Today programme.

Seemingly?

The TSB bank has announced that it will refund any of its customers who’ve been victims of online fraud.

Frankly?

I like it.

It’s going to cost them a fortune, I think.

AND they’ll need to be their eyes open for those trying to milk the system.

But … ?

It’ll be wonderful for customers.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15-5-2017: McDonalds

You know … 

The recent ransomware attack is generating headlines.

As many security experts are expecting more reports of attempted ransomware attacks.

Especially at a lot of GP surgeries: the ones that were closed over the weekend.

I’m listening to the Today programme, at the moment.

And I’m getting the feeling there’s going to be a blame game going on.

Various government ministers seem to pointing fingers — at other ministers departments! — and saying they haven’t spent the money correctly.

There’s something else.

The attack has its roots in a flaw originally spotted by the US National Security Agency … and not passed by them to Microsoft.

Microsoft have gone on the record, to ask why the NSA didn’t send them an email: comparing doing so to nicking a US Army missile.

My cynical side?

Will point out that’s possibly so they can hit Russia or China with ransomware attacks.

Personally, I think several things.

But this is the import an one

Doing security updates and backups are important: as is making sure you do them, quickly.

I’ll leave that, there, I think.

The Brentwood Gazette’s Weekly Teaser — 16-3-2016: Jerry Lewis

Jerry Lewis

Hmmm… 

I’m working today: so you know.

So I’m feeling a little rushed.

But I couldn’t help but notice my local newspaper — the Brentwood Gazette — has stories about the local branch of McDonalds.

Apparently?

Apparently, Brentwood’s branch is to close on 6th April, of this year.

Can’t think WHERE the Gazette picked up that piece of news.

And really don’t know which unidentified KFC worker they’re quoting!

The Daily Teaser — 31-1-2015: I’m Lovin’ It …

You know, it’s got to be said, Britain’s had a mild winter, so far.

At least, this part of the UK has.

This morning, though … ?

This morning, I’m up, about … 

And definitely shivering in the cold.

It’s not snowing, in Brentwood.

No.

But’s there’s a definite frost on the ground …
