  1. A quotation from John Quincy Adams

    I have, and must have, confidence in the possible virtue of human nature; and although in entertaining this idea, a man must, and will sometimes, be disappointed, yet if it is coupled with a sound judgment and close observations, I believe he could make fewer great mistakes, than one whose principle is the universal rascality of the species.

    John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) US President (1825-29)
    Letter (1809-06-22) to William Eustis

  4. June 15 would be my mother's 100th birthday.
    She met Rascal.
    And always asked when I would write the book.
    It's time this story enters the world.

  6. LITTLE RASCAL

    Every evening after we had guests over, while my parents saw them off on the veranda, the little rascal I was would sneak back into the living room… to finish all the glasses.

    I suppose that’s where my career as an alcoholic began…

    Excerpt from the collection: "Small Suitcases"…

  7. Sol, the stray we adopted. He's properly settled in to domestic life now but still has a wild streak. Constantly losing collars and coming back with dirty wee paws. 😸😻

    We should hold the Yang heights

  16. #TodayILearned #TIL the female equivalent of a #rascal in the 1500s was a #ramp.

    Ramp - "coarse, frolicsome girl or woman," mid-15c., rampe, "a virago, shrew," perhaps from early senses of ramp via the notion of "rear up on the hind legs to attack," hence, of persons, "to attack like a rampant animal." Johnson's Dictionary (1755) has romp: "a rude, awkward, boisterous, untaught girl."

  19. I get a notification on my phone that the living room camera saw a person...

    :catthinking:

    It is set to notify me only when I'm away. I click to check the cam and sure enough the HDTV is tripping it.

    Also, that rascal, Google Home, is tripping balls and thinks I'm not home, when I am quite obviously home.

    Oh, Google Home, you're such a joker!

  20. You think you're getting a nice shoulder cat cuddle then you realise she's just using you as a ladder to get at the fairy lights.

  21. As @marcevers pointed out earlier: "Learning is a social activity". It is as least as important what happens in the relations as it is what happens inside someone. Highlighted by another pair learning sessions with @djswagerman . We've gone from the rascal tutorial to parsing a bit of #elixir . A conversation with a working parser as a side-effect. #rascal doesn't look like the easiest thing to get into, but multiple perspectives lowers the barrier. #BabySteps

  22. Turbo #Rascal (#TRSE) IDE and compiler has added support for the CoCo3 6809-based computer. It's worth noting that the support for the 6809 CPU architecture is new for TRSE, the author has requested feedback from experienced #CoCo3 developers to improve the code generated by the compiler.
