Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th March, 2019.

12th March, 2019.

Yep: it’s true.

I’ve just looked out of my front room window.

Frankly?   The weather’s looking revolting … !

It’s … 

Not exactly what you call nice … !

~≈§≈~

Weather aside?

I have to admit to feeling mildly thoughtful, right now.

It is, after all, the second anniversary of the death of Sir Terry Pratchett.

And … ?

Well, I can’t help but wonder what he’d make of the whole Brexit situation.

Especially since Going Postal and Making Money were inspired by misbehaving big business, and the banking system … 

And especially as today sees Parliament make — Ha! — a meaningful vote on the subject.

We’ll never know.

We can only quietly wonder.

~≈§≈~

Something I’m also aware of?

Is that Sir Terry was interested in computers: how they worked, interacted, and what they let us do.

He’d possibly have been interested in the news Sir Tim Berners-Lee has issued a statement about the state of the World Wide Web … and where he thinks it’s going badly.

And … ?

Well, he’s made several suggestions, including a Contract for the Web: a set of ideals that would guide the Web’s use.

Frankly?

I’ve no idea if that would ever be accepted.

But … ?

In signing it, I think we can tell people it’s a set of ideals worth aiming for.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th March, 2019.

11th March, 2019

Yes: I know … I had a late night … !

Not normally something I do.

But I had a rather chatty friend catch me on Facebook Messenger … 

Sometimes?

You just have to be polite and answer the phone … 

Or tablet, or desktop, or carrier pigeon …

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-3-2019: Mario.

20th March, 2019.

Yes … it’s a Sunday … 

And frankly?

It’s looking like it’s going to be something of a quiet one.

Well … 

I’m not planning on doing much, I know that much … 

Bar the usual: house work, jobhunting, making videos …

Those … and the usual panicked, last minute, reorganising of finances!

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th March, 2019.

9th March, 2019.

Yes: it’s true.

I managed to catch another episode of Star Trek: Discovery, last night.

And have to say: it was quite an enjoyable episode.

Ethan Peck — Gregory’s grandson — as Spock?

Is wonderfully restrained, I should add.

About the show’s only flaw?

Is that, at the moment … ?

As good as Star Trek: Discovery is?   And it is good: well acted, entertaining, very well written.

One?   With Talos 4 getting a mention in last night’s episode?   There’s a certain amount of fan wank going on.   In the sense that the Talosians were only there to gives a nice little … ahem … frissom.

Two?   I’m thinking El Mininsterio del Tiempo is the better series.

Star Trek Discovery Series 2 Episode 8: If Memory Serves— A Review

8th March, 2019.

Yes … 

It’s a Friday.

And, frankly … ?

It’s … 

Well, in one sense, it’s just another day.

One that saw me making my regular fortnightly trip to the local Job Centre: partly to report my job finding progress, partly yo see what they could do for me.

Frankly?



Not much of either.

Hopefully?

By my next visit, there’s be progress, from one of us.

I hope … 

~≈§≈~

At any rate: it’s a Friday.

And, as you’ve possibly noticed?

I’ve usually managed to occupy myself with some TV.

Yes: you’ve got it … 


More of Star Trek: Discovery, series two.
