Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th August 2026

7th August, 2026.

I had an update to my Mac. a few days ago.

From macOS 26·5 to macOS 26·6.

Which was done and dusted as soon as I decently could do it: there were quite a few security updates in there.

Last night … ?

I got the notification that told me there was another: from macOS 26·6 to macOS 26·6·1.

With just one patch in it: one that patches a vulnerability in macOS’s Screen Sharing.

A vulnerability that would — if I’ve understood it correctly — would give an attacker access to my machine: without having to sign in.

Which sounds serious: and means I’m going to do it as soon as decently possible.

On other fronts … ?

Yes: I have finished another review: of “Svoboda”, the most Recent episode I caught, of For All Mankind.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th August 2024.

7th August, 2024.

Right … it’s official.

I had a colonoscopy, yesterday.

And … ?

Quite frankly, I’m not feeling as woozy as I was expecting to be.

And I’m trying to remember if the connected the sedative I was supposed to have.

From what I recall?

There wasn’t anything connected to the cannula I had in my left hand.

And the camera I had inserted in my rear??

Felt a little more uncomfortable than the last time I had the procedure.

I’m feeling hungry, sleepy … but definitely not woozy.

On the upside … ?

I have managed to have a couple of polyps removed: and should hear, soon, if they’re benign or otherwise.

Here’s hoping.

With the riots going on … ?

I’m grateful Brentwood hasn’t been affected.

I’m very aware I live near a mosque: one of the types of place that’s been targeted.

And near a hotel: one that — as far as I know — isn’t putting up asylum seekers.

Like I say: I’m grateful.

What I’m not impressed about … ?

Is Elon Musk getting involved.

Civil war is inevitable

The guy may be a rocket launching genius … but I’d rather he didn’t poke his nose in!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7th August, 2020.

7th August, 2020.

I think we can safely say I am tired … and expect to be more tired, tonight.

Frankly?   I want to see the next episode of The Mandalorian, tonight.

Equally as frankly?

I managed to catch the rest of Relic, last night.

And, while I did it in two halves?

I still found it quite a watch.

Certainly on a par with The Babadook, the other Australian horror film I’ve seen.

They are quite something to catch.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 7-8-2017

Phew … 

That’s that long weekend over with!

I really will have to try and book some time off!

Either way?

Right at the moment, I have the morning off: as I’m heading into work, tonight.

All good: as my optician has finally got the parts in?

It means I can get my spectacles fixed!

To quote birthday boy, Stan Freberg?

Sh-boom, Sh-boom … !
