Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 31-1-2026 — Three Sisters

31st January, 2026: Three Sisters.

My Twitter issues go on … 

And … ?

I’m still contemplating leaving the service.

After I’ve let my followers on the service know, finalised a few things … and told them, and you, where to find me …

Apple have introduced a new subscription service, their Apple Creator Studio, over the last few days: following Adobe, Microsoft, and many others, in introducing Software as a Service (SaaS) versions of some of their products*.

The suite include’s access to Final Cut Pro, Apple’s professional video editing suite, along side premium features for the iWork suite: Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

I’m a little unsure about committing to it, though, as it’s an extra, ongoing, cost.

I’d rather pay once, frankly.

We’ll have to see what happens, there.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 25-11-2016: The Mousetrap

Hmmm … 

It’s officially official.

It’s Black Friday.

The term was originally used in the UK, by the emergency services: to describe the last Friday before Christmas.

When people in the UK, traditionally got drastically drunk, celebrating the season.

In the past few years?

The US definition of the term’s been used.

The day is the shopping day after Thanksgiving, when many in the US will be taking the day off: and booking the Friday off, as well, and making a long weekend of it.

Spending a fortune in the pre-christmas sales, in the process.

That’s ok, by me.

But some shops and retail websites in the UK are marking it.

It’s has calmed down a lot: ever since, in 2014, some shops saw riots over assorted Black Friday offers.

But I still find it stupid and offensive, that the results of a US public holiday, are marked by UK shops.
