Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd October 2024.

2nd October, 2024.


Right … it’s official.

I’m up at something approaching my normal time.

And have at least two pairs of new glasses: including the slightly groovy ones I’m wearing in the intro video.

I’m also aware I’ve just checked my bank account.

And, no: there’s no payment, yet.

I may just have to phone up …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-10-2020: World Teachers Day

5th October, 2020.

Right … 

I’ve running on something of a lack of sleep.

Which is lovely: when you consider I’ve have a meeting with the Shaw Trust, at ten.

Yes. 



We’ve had a police incident, outside Tomlinson Court.

Late on a Sunday night.

One of my neighbours was watching: it seems someone tried kicking the door down.

I’m … 

Well … 

I’m not happy: I was in bed when it all kicked off!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-7-2019: Walking on the Moon.

20th July, 2019.


Right … 

I have an internal hard drive to get rid of.

Which usually means one thing.

Selling it to my local branch of CeX?   Is my usual course of action.

However, with the hard drive in question?

The las time I took the thing into Brentwood CeX, there was a problem.

Apparently?

The hard drive only had one partition, called an EFI boot partition: and nothing else.

Now, I have to admit, that piece of news … was something I wasn’t sure I liked: as I wasn’t sure I could do anything about it.

As soon as I got back home?

I posted a question to the relevant Apple forum: and got an answer that looks helpful.

Hopefully?

That will help.

OK, streaming services.

There’s a few, isn’t there?

It looks like the UK will get another one … come October.

Something I know the BBC have wanted to do for years, is use the iPlayer — the BBC’s catch up service — as an international streaming service: alone the lines of Netflix.

Which never caught on.

However, Aunty Beeb has worked with ITV.   To introduce a streaming service called Britbox: to sell British TV content abroad.

And have announced that the service will start in the UK, towards the end of the year.

I have to admit, I’m … slightly concerned.

My worry?   Is that both iPlayer and ITV Hub — ITV’s equivalent to the iPlayer — may be phased out, here in the UK: in favour of a subscription service.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t afford that!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 29-7-2018: NASA

29th July, 2018.


It’s got to reiterated: it’s a Sunday.

I’m up WAY too early: but that’s what I’m getting paid for!

But I have to say … I actually got some sleep, last night.

Well …

After reading a few more pages of a book.

The book at bedtime at the moment?

Is LeGuin’s The Other Wind.

And … ?

My word, the woman’s prose was gorgeous!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-6-2016: International Sex Workers Day

Right … another day off … 

And … ?

Believe it or not, I’m off to Kidspace in Romford.

And (possibly) to see Top Cat, afterwards.

You can tell I’m doing with a certain nephew, can’t you … ?

I’m just hoping the film’s not a total bomb: it’s getting mixed reviews …
