It is said that in Gallic (Scottish) there is no word that expresses the urgency of the Spanish term mañana. Maybe that is the elusive word he is looking for.

I print a new one every year and blow it up after christmas. Look at Thingieverse for some decorative TIEs and XWings as well.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

get some mini LED lights in that thing, and that wins tree topper of the year, for sure.

Cats and Christmas trees.
I'm used to them attacking me as I decorate the tree. Well, no - I don't think it's possible to get used to being attacked by a snarling chainsaw through a tree when you try to hang a bauble on it, but I do sort of expect it now.
I'm used to having to gather all the missing bead-chains, baubles, crackers, the star from the top, and odd small branches each morning and refit them (see above).
But ... this is the first time he's started to unwrap the presents.
I end up wrapping the pressies every year - despite her many skills, neither wrapping nor 3D packing are in her skill set: pressies look like a three year old did them and the freezer lid won;t shut once she's been in there.
And I learned over the years how to do "frou-frou" on them to make them look elegant, and attractive. Often they will look better than the content (particularly if they are destined for her work-mates, many of whom are workshy layabouts more interested in Farcebok than the residents they are supposed to be caring for).
And Dij has become a cat-scout, and can now cope with bows and knots. Only - unlike a boy scout - he undoes them rather than ties them properly, and I came down this morning to find the bows missing, and the ribbons strewn across the carpet ...

Ribbons are a lot of fun, yeah!
Just make sure he doesn't eat the ribbons. They can do serious damage to his intestines.

OTOH, that could be one way to solve his problem of getting attacked by said cat when he's decorating his tree...

Luckily we could prevent that one of our cats pushed over the christmas tree, no big calamities since then

That's a good game! Hence why I now wire ours to the stair banisters ...

Neither of my 3 cats are remotely interested in the tree.
I'm mostly pleased, but even a little bit disappointed in them, I most admit...

Don't be. It's frustrating, you spend time getting it looking right, leave the room for thirty seconds and when you return it's in kit form across the floor.
The crackers are a particular favourite - I think they make a nice noise when batted across the room - I've suggested we leave them off, but no, "it's a tradition" ...

Hmmm,
That was also the answer to the CCC he posted last night but subsequently deleted. He probably deleted it when he realized that he misspelled the clue component 'tactic'.

i got gplex working with Parsley and it's a joy because I don't have to use gplex's grotty input files directly - they're ugly but flexible - a bit like perl is.
now I can generate them from my simple, elegant XBNF format. Not only that, my generated code extends gplex lexers to implement IEnumerable<token> so you can for each over them just like you can with Rolex lexers. That also means they'll work with the backtracking enumerator I posted. And I added in Rolex's "block end" feature that makes it super easy to match things like C block comments, SGML/HTML/XML markup comments and CDATA sections, etc - anything with static multicharacter termination sequences.
I really rocked today. I got this code off the ground, and in some ways what it does is more complicated than Rolex, so it was almost like making a whole new lexer/tokenizer generator.
Not only that I got a new (unicode enabled!) Slang tokenizer up powered by Gplex and i intend to add backtracking to Parsley so it can parse C# (i hope!)
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
