I'm really proud of myself. Today, while out geocaching, I came to the rescue of two lost, scared, *pregnant* women stuck on the side of an Alp. I hoped that you might be proud of me too, Masons!
Je parle un peu le français. Je me excuse pour la rédaction du présent en anglais.
I have been staying in La Tania on a ski holiday with friends and family. This morning, I fell and her my neck, so I thought I'd take a break from skiing and do some geocaching instead. The hike down … -
On the way back from a cache in the Alps, I came to the rescue of two lost, underequipped, *pregnant* hikers who were stuck in deep snow. Had I not been out 'caching, they were about to try to work out their location (badly) and summon mountain rescue. I've had a good day.

Club Lounge at Gatwick airport
On the way out to the French Alps for a week of skiing, and we had enough air miles to upgrade to business class on the way out, so I'm sat in the lounge enjoying complimentary gin & tonic and croissants. 10 in the morning, and I'm already buzzed: after a long and hectic … -

Why are different kinds of stars found 'between' the spiral arms of our galaxy than in them?
I was elsewhere in Reddit when somebody made the claim that the space between the spiral arms of our galaxy aren't empty, but are simply filled with different kinds of stars (different luminoscities, etc.). I was skeptical, but other sources claim that this is true, too. However, I can't find any explanation as to … -
MegaMasonic Handshake?
If we're MegaMasons now, we must need some kind of Secret MegaHandshake. Anybody got any suggestions?

v0.53 - Dystopika And The Mason's Edition
A new version to support a certain new MegaLounge (thanks, /u/dystopika). Users who update MegaMegaMonitor without getting the most-recent data will probably see the wrong icons for a few hours. Sorry! If you're affected, (a) update or reinstall MegaMegaMonitor, then (b) click your GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey icon and then "MegaMegaMonitor: manually update user lists … -
Now I'm going to have to update MegaMegaMonitor...
All I needed was an excuse, really! Hurrah!
Edit: Done! You'll need to update both the userscript and the data to see the changes - instructions over here on /r/MegaMegaMonitor.
Edit2: Screenshot.

Is it possible to show a list of posts by a particular subset of users?
E.g. with subreddits, I can view multiple ones at once with /r/aww+cows (for /r/aww and /r/cows), but I can't find a way to do the same for multiple people (I guessed that /u/ketralnis+spez might work, but it didn't). Adding all of the requested people to my friends list would work, but isn't ideal. Any … -
v0.51 released - fixes all the things I broke!
Turns out I shouldn't code after I've been drinking. v0.50 will have not-worked for almost everybody, because I forgot what programming language I was writing in about half-way through it and tried to use a feature that doesn't exist. And then somehow managed to deploy it and not notice. Sorry.
v0.51 fixes it. It should … -
Review of Total Recall (2012)
This review originally appeared on Amazon. See more reviews by Dan. Total Recall (2012) Rating: ⭐⭐ Why are there remakes?
Sometimes I wonder why a film gets remade only to make it worse. The original Total Recall was a good film. Not a masterpiece by any stretch, but a clever, funny, action-packed (and only slightly … -
MegaMegaMonitor 0.50 - Greypo Edition
I've just made available version 0.50 of MegaMegaMonitor. Thanks to everybody who's helped test it so far. This version removes the limitation on people who're listed as approved contributors to more than a hundred subreddits, like /u/Greypo. Well, it probably does that. Personally, I'm only an approved contributor for like 65 subreddits. Give it … -
