Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th March 2026

9th March, 2026.

Right … 

I think I’ve sorted out an issue: where my browser was refusing to upload videos to a given blog post.

The little I could find online told me that I needed to clear my browser’s caches and cookies.

So … ?

I’ve uploaded a second version: in case the first doesn’t work.

~≈📺≈~

I’ve also got to admit: I did a little tweaking with that video.

At about the fourteen to seventeen seconds mark, I’ve managed to use some phone footage: but, as my phone can’t record with a green background, I’ve had to use Final Cut Pro’s Magnetic Mask to remove the background.

After finally realising that I had to press the ‘Done’ button to get the thing working … 

Which means … not a lot, right now.

But if I ever get a better quality camera, one that can’t be connect to QuickTime, I can possibly do all sorts of stuff.

Once I’ve learnt how to turn down the volume …

As a last thought … ?

My family treated me to a takeaway fish supper, yesterday: from what has to be Brentwood’s best.

About my only problem, one I’ve had with cod and chips from other places … ?

Is that I’ve ended up with a case of the farts.

What’s happening there … ?

I don’t know … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9-3-2017

You know, in amongst the Budget news, yesterday?

Was all sorts of stuff.

Big news on the Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar front?

Was that I managed to catch a movie: although I don’t know whether I was impressed with Nosferatu*: but I CAN say I’ve seen it.

On other fronts?

I wrote, yesterday, that one man had been prosecuted for selling what’s called ‘fully loaded’ Kodi boxes.

In a follow up piece?

We see that the Premier League has managed to get a court order: to clamp down on the servers that are broadcast illegally streamed matches.

Given how Kodi boxes operate?

My biggest concern is the knock on effect.

I’m concerned that researchers and developers won’t necessarily have the legal manoeuvring room to do their jobs properly.

Doing what the League’s done, and trying to block what the servers are doing?   Rather than the writers of the add-ons, the sellers of the boxes, or the people that buy or use them?

Seems a better way of doing things.
