Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem — A Review

12th January, 2024: the Introduction.



Right … in amongst everything else … ?

It’s Friday.

And?

I think I’m going to be watching a movie: I fancy something silly, to be frank.

Silly or not?

I’ll let you know more, tomorrow.

~≈🐢≈~

Just as a quick point?

I’ve recently learnt that superstar DJ, Annie Nightingale, has died.

That’s sad to hear: as Radio 1’s first female DJ, she was a trailblazer.

I’ll possibly say more in the morning.

But will leave you with songs she introduced me too, many years ago.




I’ll see you in the morning.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th May, 2019.

24th May, 2019.


Yes: it’s true.

Yesterday was Thursday.

Which, by now, means simply that I get a visit from my nephew, Jude.

Who’s … 

Well, definitely on school holiday.

And definitely feeling confident enough to want to grab my chair and announce he’d like to learn how to use iMovie, to edit a video … 

At least with help … 

We MAY have to let Mummy know he need’s a Mac … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 23-5-2019: World Turtle Day

23rd May, 2019.


Right … 

As you’ll possibly be aware?

I’m unemployed, at the moment.   And have to report to my local Job Centre, every couple of weeks.

I managed to miss the last one.

And got my self sanctioned as a result.

Understandably, I’ve been kicking myself for missing the thing: especially given that the financial penalties are quite severe.

Thankfully?

You’re allowed what’s called a Mandatory Reconsideration: an appeal, in other words.

That I managed to do, yesterday.

Hopefully?

Even if I don’t get the sanction cancelled, I’ll hopefully get the penalty reduced.

Tech fan that I am?   I’ve been keeping an eye on Huawei’s troubles, just recently.

Famously, the Chinese firm’s infrastructure section is having issues.

Many countries have security concerns about its links to the Chinese government.

The US has recently banned US companies and government departments from using Huawei’s products: which lead Google to cut ties with Huawei.

Yesterday?   Yesterday, ARM — the chip company that makes chips for most of the world’s smart phones and tablets — announced that — as they have to use some US technology in their chips — they were to stop selling to the Chinese giant.

That’s … significant: as Huawei will have to find other chips for their phone.

Today … ?

Panasonic seems to be making similar declarations on its Western websites … but not necessarily on its Chinese ones.

I’m greeting the feeling Huawei … is having bigger problems than it was expecting …
