MegaMegaMonitor v106 released - enhanced security
tl;dr: This is a security update to MegaMegaMonitor. If you don't update, your copy of MegaMegaMonitor will stop working.
Sorry for the wall of text - scroll down to "What's new?" for the short version, and remember to upgrade:
So there's been a security bug in MegaMegaMonitor since about the year dot. I've always known about … -
Hi! I'm /u/avapoet, the guy behind MegaMegaMonitor, and I'm doing an AMA over in AskReddit_MegaLounge if you're interested.

Hi, MegaMasons! The mods of /r/AskReddit_MegaLounge (which I imagine MOST of you have access to) have asked me to do an AMA, over there. Come say hi! (I promise to MMM-encrypt some secret messages for you)

I'm just kicking off an AMA in /r/AskReddit_MegaLounge, if you've got questions about MegaMegaMonitor (or anything else!) that you've always wanted to ask...

[AMA] I am /u/avapoet, creator of MegaMegaMonitor, cartographer of the MegaLounges, and general hacker-geek. AMA.
I was asked to do an AMA here, so... here I am! If you know me already, it's probably because you use MegaMegaMonitor [install here], a browser plugin I made that helps you to see where you are relative to others in the MegaLounges as well as in a variety of other private subreddits. … -
MegaMegaMonitor v104 released - minor improvement to "lists"
Tiny new release with thanks to /u/greypo for highlighting the need for it. In v102, bulk-inviting people to a subreddit would fall over and stop if it came to somebody who was banned from that subreddit, requiring the user to manually remove their name from the list before they could continue. In v104, instead, … -
[from /u/avapoet's blog] Squiz CMS Easter Eggs (or: why do I keep seeing Greg’s name in my CAPTCHA?)
If there's one place on Reddit that this kind of self-promotion shouldn't be considered inappropriate, it'd be in the subreddit that carries my name. And now that we're this high up (and you're seeing my face everywhere already), I've got no problem with any of you having a link by which you can work … -
Squiz CMS Easter Eggs (or: why do I keep seeing Greg's name in my CAPTCHA?)
When using the Squiz CMS, Dan noticed that his CAPTCHA kept containing the same patterns of letters. These turned out to be the names of early developers on the system, which in turn lead Dan to uncover Easter Eggs in the software that have been deliberately concealed by their authors.

MegaMegaMonitor v102 released - message encryption, icon suppression, gilding graphs, and moderator tools
I've just released MegaMegaMonitor v102. As usual, the new version will probably install itself automatically the next time that your installation of Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey decides to check for it, but you can - if you prefer - force the upgrade to happen immediately by installing MegaMegaMonitor again.
Here's what's new in 102:

Literally about to walk into a job interview. Wish me luck!
As some of you probably already know, I had an interview for my boss's job the other week. Well my employee has taken the unusual (for them) step of cutting down the list and then arranging a second interview! Me and two others left, by my estimation. Wish me luck!
Edit: Wow, you guys are … -
Okay, so I'm here.
Hello everybody. Let's be friends.
Also: how did I get here? Am I lost?
