Jape

A present when I got into the office. This makes the total number of eggs I've received this year to be one.

This is the word from April 1st - I wasn't at work that day.

It means to jest; to cheat; to mock; to laugh at. This word, and its derivatives japer, a buffoon, japery, buffoonery, and japeworthy, ridiculous, are of common occurrence in Chaucer. "Thus hath he japed thee for many a year."

- Charles Mackay's Lost Beauties of the English Language, 1874.

I don't know if I should worry, but I do use jape from time to time. Perhaps I should start using it more "jolly japes".

Recently Played

This morning I have played the following songs out of the 196 song arrangements I have been learning.

I'm not 100% convinced that my total play times are calculating accurately, but don't have the time to check the calculations out for the moment.

Rocksmith 2014

Love That's Gone by La Sera.

Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones.

Losing My Religion by REM.

Stay In by Jaws.

All songs played

This is the full list of songs that I have played on the two versions of the Rocksmith game.
The two versions of the game have different methods of calculating the scores. The original version just had the score, streak and percentage. In Rocksmith 2014 the score was dropped from the main results, and a mastery and an overall result was added.

The overall result can be over 100%, this occurs when a song is played in master mode. In Master mode, the game hides the notes you are expected to play. When you manage to successfully play the song in master mode, you have learned the song and should be able to play the song alongside a band or backing track.
