I have the opposite problem, sort of. Since I use the numbers on the top row of the keyboard I like the keypad to be num-lock-off. I set it up in the BIOS for startup but every now and then it gets flipped (most annoying!).
Keypad numeric input makes me feel like an accountant - bah!

To me, delivery of a Knock-Knock joke is a fine art, indeed; so much so, I practice in front of a mirror.
Problem is, I'm obstinately searching for the doorbell.

Is "rap" just a knock-knock joke put to music?

You call rap music?

Please take into account the context, as in 'pun' - which demeans the topic appropriately.
One place I used to live had an FM station that proudly used as their slogan "No Rap - No Crap".

I'll have to monitor them next time they have a few drinks. Apparently their vision does get pixelated a bit.

I'll think about distill I come up with something.
Maybe:

I feel the need to reach for a bottle whenever someone sends me a screenshot that is actually a picture of a monitor taken with a phone, then printed, then scanned, then faxed, re-scanned, and then embedded in a Word doc and emailed.
And it's a screenshot of some plain-text message that could've been copied/pasted.

By the end of the day I should have a rudimentary implementation of GLoRy, my GLR parser.
GLR is the most powerful parsing algorithm known. It allows you to express your grammar however you want with never any conflicts (all "conflicts" make the GLR fork its stack and try each conflicting rule)
It can process highly ambiguous grammars, including natural language!
The tables are only LALR(1) sized, and how fast it is is inversely proportional to how many times it has been forked. This is all very very good, as it leads to linear time O(n) parsing when there are no ambiguities/forks
Also this is the only GLR implementation i've seen capable of streaming. The rest force you to load the entire document into memory at once.
The upshot of that is you could feed it an entire Bible and not worry about memory.
If there is a parser generator to end all parser generators its this.
It only has one real disadvantage and that's that it's more difficult to use depending on how you're using it. Since it can return multiple parse trees for a single parse the code to use it has to be able to handle that.
Anyway, GLoRy is peak parsing. If you can't parse it with GLoRy chances are it can't be parsed. =)
So cool!

Hands up anyone who didn't immediately think of this!

It feels a bit like that. Plus a GLR parser is essentially a bunch of LR parsers stitched together so maybe it's fitting

That sounds intriguing!
Further, my energy is up lately, might play with that!
Keep up the good work and enthusiasm!

It's parsing but I need to put in error recovery and do more debugging. Then I can refactor it and add the actual code generation. The whole thing should take me no more than a week (*knock on wood*)

No hurry!
Sounds interesting!
Next step is write a book about it!

Ha! Anyway I'm glad you're feeling better.
