  • v95 adds comment-searching powers to help those of you who like to gild others "up" the chain




    I've just pushed out version 95; you can get it by telling Greasemonkey to update manually, or just wait a day or so and you'll get it automatically. This release makes some minor CSS improvements to help make the tooltips visible even on awkward subreddits (still a long way to go, though), and also โ€ฆ

  • I just sold a flat and bought some creddits. Who wants gold?




    Today, I just agreed the sale of the flat (that's "apartment" outside of British English) that I inherited from my father (who died three years ago yesterday), and I'm marking the occasion by splashing out on a pack of 36 creddits to fuel a gold train.

  • Just for fun, I've pre-generated ascension graphs for everybody in MegaLoungeIndia




    As described over there, I've come up with a way to make graphs of the speed of everybody's ascension through the MegaLounges. But because everybody up here in /r/MegaLoungeIndia is far too important to have to ask for things for themselves, I've pre-generated graphs for you all. Here they are:

  • Mini-release 94 adds double-click-to-subreddit functionality, fixes bugs




    Hi all,

    Just pushed out a new mini-release, v94, if you're interested. The major changes are:

    As requested, double-clicking on a piece of flair will now take you to the relevant subreddit (with one exception that probably nobody will ever find anyway).

  • The presenters on the radio just Googled for the meaning of life and got '42'. "I don't know why that is," said one. "It's from Life Of Brian, isn't it?" replied the other.

  • Found GLGNNFWF Jeremy Bentham

    This checkin to GLGNNFWF Jeremy Bentham reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. My meeting at Westminster Abbey finished marginally sooner than I'd expected, giving me time to find one more London cache before getting on a tube at St. James (and eventually onto a bus back to Oxford). I opted โ€ฆ

    This checkin to GLGNMRRK Where are all the apples? reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. Didn't plan on geocaching today, but after I ran early on my journey into London for a meeting at Westminster Abbey, I thought I'd come out and find this one. Didn't have my GPSr, but โ€ฆ

  • Nice to see this subreddit exists




    I lived in Aberystwyth for a little over ten years: sort of went there for University and then didn't get around to leaving. I guess I fell in love with the hills and the bay. Left eventually, five years ago now, but there are still times I miss it.

  • Why are ice cubes white towards the centre but transparent towards the edges?




    I've just finished a long work week, got home, and made a gin and tonic, and I'm looking at the ice cubes bobbing in it and noticed something I'd not paid attention to before: the cubes seem to be opaque in their core but more-transparent towards their crust. You can see what I mean โ€ฆ

    I'm confused as to how this differs from e.g. ELI5. What's the difference?

  • What is this place?




    This is MegaMegaMegaMonitor. It just seemed to make sense that if you get gilded in /r/MegaMegaMonitor, you'd go somewhere. Here is that somewhere.

    Being here's quite cool: it gives you an extra special "gilded" icon and tooltip instead of your regular "Uses MegaMegaMonitor" icon (if you have one), when other people look at you. Note โ€ฆ
