Star Trek Discovery — Season 5 Episode 2 — “Under The Twin Moons” — A Review

6th April, 2024: the Announcement!


Which … it’s officially official.

It’s early on Saturday evening.

Or late afternoon.

Depending on whether you think it’s afternoon or evening … when it’s still daylight out!

At any rate … ?

Dinner is officially being cooked.

The soundtrack for the original version of The Omen is playing in the background.


And — by the time you read this? — I will have seen “Under the Twin Moons”, the second episode of Star Trek Discovery’s fifth season.

Right … back, tomorrow …

7thApril, 2024: National Beer Day.


Right then … Sunday it is, then!

And, frankly?

I’m expecting it to be quiet.

Well, bar dinner with the family.

I’m fully expecting Bobby the cat to go exploring somewhere he’s not supposed to be… !


That’s cats for you … !

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-4-2024 — Eurovision

6th April, 2024: Eurovision.


It’s officially official: it’s Saturday!

The day after I reviewed “Red Directive”: first episode of the last ever series of Star Trek Discovery.


Going on the strength of that opening episode?

This last series will be a good one.

I mentioned, in yesterday’s Teaser, that I really needed to work out to install a copy of my machine’s current operating system … without having the space on my hard drive to store the installer!

I ended up phoning Apple’s support line.

It turns out the problem … was some iMovie caches — some fifty odd gigabytes of iMovie caches — buried deeply with in the system.

With the help of the young lady*, and a piece of software called OmniDiskSweeper.app, I’ve managed to free up a lot of space.

Phew!

I can take a deep breath: and take my time creating some install media.

And enjoy the space I’ve got!

Star Trek Discovery — Season 5 Episode 1 — “Red Directive” — A Review

4th April, 2024: the introduction.


Yes: it’s still, officially, Thursday: as anyone who’s read my early morning quiz will have realised.

And yes: I’ve been making videos.

There’s something of a long story, there!

At any rate … ?

Dinner — a baked spud, some vegetables, and chicken kyiv — is being done as we speak.

Once that’s done … ?

I’ll be watching “Red Directive”, the first episode of Star Trek Discovery’s fifth and final series.

Then letting you know what I thought: tomorrow night.

Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 5-4-2024 — The International Day of Conscience

5th April, 2024.


Right … it’s officially Friday.

And … ?

I’m reading up various bits and bobs: on how to install a version of macOS onto an external drive.

As my main drive is slowly running out of space.

I have a good idea of how to do it: but need to download the installer to do so.

Given how the App Store works?

It means the installer will be downloaded to my main drive: the one that hasn’t got the space … !

Added to that … ?

Is the simple fact I have to got to town, today: to pick up a sharps bin.

In the rain.

Ho … bloody … hum …
