Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th February 2025.

15th February 2025.

Right … 

I’ve been doing this — writing this blog — for some time.

And, as part of that … ?

I’ve been opening emails … and pressing various button, to publish posts.

Except this morning.

As … ?

As, it turns out, BT’s email service is down.

Why?

I don’t know.

But it’s tempting to blame the current US president!

At any rate … ?

I get the feeling that — once the service is back up — my email client’s going to be swamped … !

Hmmm … 

I’ve just noticed this piece on the BBC’s Red button service, telling us how a prisoner in HMP Peterborough has been given time for assault.

Telling us the inmate attacked a guard with sugar dissolved in boiling hot water.

Don’t ask how I know … 

But they used to call that ‘jugging’ …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 15th February 2023.

15th February, 2023.

Right … I now, officially, have a box!

With a chair in it!

It’s an early birthday gift: and one I plan to assemble … when I get the chance.

It’s going to be a fiddly job, I think!

I mentioned, yesterday, that my blu-ray drive was having issues.

But, ever since the macOS 13.2 update, it was happily connected to my Mac … but not showing up.

It seems a few others had been getting the issue: and were reporting it on various sites.

Fortunately for me — and, I suspect, anyone else with a Pioneer optical drive — the problem was fixed: by installing the macOS 13.2.1 update.

I suspect the amount of complaints would have got Apple moving to patch the flaw, fast: there’s possibly a lot of customers — movie companies, included — using Mac systems to make preview blu-rays, if nothing else.

Here’s hoping it doesn’t happen, again.
