  • Cache that REQUIRES two people: should I explain why it requires two people before they set out, or not?




    Hi, Founditt!

    Next month, I expect to launch a multicache with a twist: it requires two people to go to two different waypoints at the same time in order to determine the coordinates of the final stage - it's not physically possible for one person to do it alone (even if they go to one …

  • Image representing post: Six Tiny Months

    Six Tiny Months

    On Monday, Tiny turned 6 months old. For half a year now, I’ve been a parent. It still feels pretty weird to call myself that, though. Parent is a word that conjures up a mental image of someone strong, nurturing, patient, and above all who knows all the answers. In many ways, I feel more …

  • The Tour de France website lists the names of all hills using the French style...

    ...which looks awful with Yorkshire place names. Today's hardest ascent: "Côte de Buttertubs"

  • Côte de Whatnow? (Or: Yorkshire, I love you.)

    I've just been looking at the map of today's stage of Le Tour de France Yorkshire (inexplicably starting in England).The map lists the biggest hills on the route, and despite this section of the route being in England, the names are prefaced "Côte de…"There's three hills worthy of note on the maptoday. The first, Côte…

  • Little people, big shame

    Sorry about the long break — I just wish I could tell you that it was because I’d been completely unable to find any awful examples of the pink/blue ‘colour bar’ in kids’ stuff. Sadly the truth is quite the reverse: there seems to be more of this crap every day, it gets demoralising, and…

  • ISEE-3

    Back in early March, I posted comic #1337, Hack, about a wayward spacecraft. ISEE-3/ICE was returning to fly past Earth after many decades of wandering through space. It was still operational, and could potentially be sent on a new mission, but NASA no longer had the equipment to talk to it—and announced that reconstructing the equipment…

  • The quietest (Mega)Lounge yet? Ever?




    [this post was originally made to a private subreddit]

    As I've made my way up through the lounges, I've discovered - as you'd expect - that each has been quieter than the one that preceded it. Does this trend continue, I wonder: do we end with somebody (Greypo, I guess!) talking to themselves? Or is …
