I finished it yesterday, and started in on the second one (SSR's revenge).

(Very minor spoiler): Did anyone else notice the anachronism of applying X-rays to erase the film in the doctor's camera? I guess that digital photography thing is just a fad, and film cameras will be making a comeback ;-)

Great, now I can't read it. Thanks a lot BDM.

I blame mk, for not implementing that cool spoiler blackout thingy that they have in reddit ;-)

Your wish has been granted. Just surround the text with two tildes.

You da man!

Just want to test this out

P.S. You start making beer yet?

briandmyers  ·  4482 days ago  ·  link  ·  

No beer yet - I'm picking up some malt & hops the weekend, though! Next week or the week after, I'll be making about 10 gallons of Pale Ale :-) This will be my first time to try native NZ malt.

exciting! Enjoy the process, let me know how it goes.

I've seen that used and always thought it looked horrible. It is useful though?

briandmyers  ·  4490 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Sure, it works - a black block hides "spoiler" text, until you mouse-over it (or maybe click it, I forget).

Sounds cool. mk, what say thee? Perhaps we could do it in a new way?

mk  ·  4490 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, I can add a spoiler text format. Maybe it will be automatically on for briandmyers. ;)

I'll add it to the short list. I'm doing some bug fixin' atm.
