[Off-topic] I've made a tool that helps /r/MagicSecrets folks find one another.
Please forgive the non-magic talk, but I wanted to share with you something I made recently. It's a plugin you can install into your web browser that does this (pic).
What's that? It's a top hat and wand alongside the name of /r/MagicSecrets folks. It's only visible to other /r/MagicSecrets folks, of course, but it's … -
Hi there. I'm /u/avapoet, and I made MegaMegaMonitor.
I expect that there are many of you who would appreciate it (especially in its latest version), but haven't heard about it yet. Basically, what it does is tells you:
What Mega*Lounge level people have reached (if they're in the same or lower level than you), or that they're higher if they've gotten … -
MegaMegaMonitor version 87 released - faster updates, more subreddits, friendlier error messages
There's also a new numbering scheme, which will be necessary to help support the way in which new subreddits will be added to MegaMegaMonitor in future.
Upgrading
If you've already got it installed, it'll probably update itself within a day or two. Or you can update it sooner by asking Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey to "check for … -
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 … -
Sneak peek at the future of MegaMegaMonitor (version 0.70, running on my computer). Coming soon!

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 … -
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 … -
I don't normally let anybody see magic tricks I'm still rehearsing until I'm absolutely happy with them. But this one's for you, MegaManLounge.
