  • The Coventry Rotary Tandem bicycle

    Hey Reddit, I'm looking to buy a bicycle - this new design looks fashionable and practical: does anybody have any experience of it?

  • 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!

  • MegaMegaMonitor v100 released, now with support for /r/gilderguild



    Full announcement over here
    So yeah: I've just released the new version of MegaMegaMonitor, and it includes (among other things) support for /r/gilderguild.

    What does this mean? Well: it means that you can install MegaMegaMonitor and you'll be able to instantly identify your fellow Gilder Guild members anywhere else you see them on Reddit. โ€ฆ

  • MegaMegaMonitor v100 released - "suppress icon" option, slight CSS improvements, new build system, smaller download




    Hi all!

    I've just made an interim release of MegaMegaMonitor. Not many new features, but I've made huge improvements to the way that I build and release MegaMegaMonitor versions, which will make it easier for me to have a "test" version that's under construction and to later roll those changes into the live release. Which โ€ฆ

  • Quick experiment I did using a polarised camera lens filter: looking at a CRT screen and an LCD screen and proving that the light from a LCD screen is polarised (which is a side-effect of the way that they work).

  • HMF episodes of outTHERE (2001-2003), because it seems to have vanished from the planet.




    Back in the early 2000s when I was suffering from insomnia I used to sit up and watch all kinds of trashy late-night TV on the UK's (then new) Channel 5. There was one show that I got hooked on and tuned in to religiously, simply because its presentation was so bizarre. That show โ€ฆ

  • Would you like to see automatic (and private) graphs of where, what, and who you gild? I was feeling guilty that I haven't made you an MMM icon yet, so I made you a tool to graph-your-gilding!

    They said it couldn't be done! And, technically-speaking, they were right. But I've come up with a way for you to generate your personal gilding history graphs. By which I mean, things like this pie chart showing which subreddits I gild in the most.
