Chrome extension - first test; probably has issues as the Firefox one can be updated much quicker, so is more up to date. Note - it is supposed to be Adject: Adds adjectives to men…

*for a very limited value of mighty....

Web extension created while in treatment because why not. First try so if it breaks anything - sorry. Mainly seems to work. Chrome version in 'Pending Review'...see how long that t…

Started on a Wikipedia wormhole and came across a small note about beaufighter T4800 and I knew nothing about it. The story is interesting enough, not least as it's the pilot's own…

Yep - If all my competitors are down the equation changes such that I _definitely_ want to be up. Any trade comes to me if it's urgent, and I appear more professional as I've got a…

I didn't - I'd started off converting the videos to 8-bit colouring and in the process was experimenting with pixelisation and went off on a fairly extreme bit of a tangent. https:…

I've been messing around with converting videos to ASCII for a side project - it's been a fun learning experience. Obviously I don't think ASCII art's going any where... https://yo…

As of the latest update macOS has started to nag me to allow automatic updates, so I think the comparison is probably valid. FWIW I told it No, for the same reason my Win10 laptop …

I had the cursor skip on an older Dell model (not Ubuntu, Windows), but the cause might be the same - the Nub mouse buton (if that makes sense - the little finger mouse? What ever …

Agreed about the clickbait title - he didn't steal from the Silk Road wallet: "Bridges was arrested and taken into custody on charges related to the theft of approximately 1,600 bi…
