Memorial fund?
I'd have thought any donations should go to the local equivalent of the NSPCC. That would hopefully help prevent similar events happening in the future.

MeTa post:
How can I add Social Apps that aren't currently on the "Also On" drop down menu?
re: Xbox Live. It's stupid that there's no public profile you can link to, but you can (ab)use the "display your gamercard on your website" feature to get the link like this:
http://gamercard.xbox.com/[gamer tag goes here].card
example:
http://gamercard.xbox.com/endsofinvention.card
So maybe you could make it possible to add an actual gamercard on the MeFi profile? That displays a little info - gamertag, points, recent games, and still... [more]

FYI, XBox Live players- mygamercard.net is now supported! Just use your XBL alias, no separate login needed. Thanks pb! :)
Sweet!

nice trick
Ha, it took me ages to figure out what the "joke" was, since I'm using my laptop screen at a funny angle so I assumed any weird colours were because of that.
Haha oh Jesus OK I just realised that it changes. Nice.

mobile.MeFi.com
Testing it on my LG Viewty, using whatever crappo browser it has installed (despite a "cookies on/off" option it only ever saves my logged in status on sites 10% of the time): The main MeFi page looks as it does on the video, and the post links work, but when I click the Ask, Projects, etc links at the top the header changes but it keeps displaying the MeFi front page.

Assuming you're not going to fix whatever makes the Ask/Projects/etc links not work on my Viewty, is there a URL to get straight to the mobile version of Ask? e.g. mobile.metafilter.com/ask or something...

this is the TITLE box, isn't it?
I can live with 1-3% of questions being fucked up.
Yeah, 1-3% of people are idiots who will get something wrong anyway. I think we're over-beaning this thought of plates. Or something.

2. We'll add it to Ask MeFi posting pages and MetaTalk posting pages as well.
I was under the impression that the b/i buttons were missing from the new AskMe post page for a reason.

Metafilter Runs: November Edition
Cool, I found a website that tells me how much calories I burn playing Ultimate (among other things) so I might, if I remember, take part in the calorie burning challenge thing.

OK, I'm probably being dense, but do I need a iPod thing to enter data for the calorie burning challenge? It says "No device necessary, though an iPod or a HRM are recommended" but I can't figure out how to submit data in a way that isn't "use this thing to sync with your iPod Nano".

I tried uploading a picture, realised it was too big to fit in the cropping box, so I went back and selected a different image and now when I click the Upload Picture button it spends a couple of minutes thinking and then spits out:

It's kind of annoying having to find a photo where the bit I want showing is within the 140px square. Can't you just make some sort of auto-resized version like Facebook does?

Fresh figs, gorgonzola and prosciutto, although Camino thinks prosciutto should be prostitute, but I'm not that hungry, thanks.
Maybe it's trying to recommend some puttanesca sauce?

Meta-Scary
Target is selling these plastic/ resin pumpkins that look pretty damn realistic, one of which is big enough that I could make a pretty good mask out of it. I'm gonna get one in a week or so on the cheap, then I'm going to make it into a jack-o-lantern kind of mask. Ultimately it will incorporate in a scarecrow costume that I'm going to use to scare the shit out of kids for trick-or-treating next year.
A couple of friends of mine did this a while ago... [more]

My kids went as the Master Chief and the Arbiter, and I was Cortana, from Halo.

Insert Headline/Title Here
I get a kind of poor-man's plain theme at work because for some unfathomable reason the internet filters block [everything].metafilter.com except metatalk.metafilter.com so the browser can't load the stylesheets (but I can read MeTa all day). Still, it does the job (blending in with Excel, Outlook, etc).

Muster Up for Halo 3, MeFites!
Also: How did people memorize all the levels so fast? Dare I ask?
Well, Halo was accidentally pre-released in a few places, and as a result hit some file sharing sites, so people with modded 360's could've had the game for several extra days already.
There was a pre-release multiplayer Beta too, which probably had something to do with it.

Well we have about 10 Halo 3 players judging by the wiki, so how about a Halo 3 'meetup' on Saturday evening? I'm on UK time but I don't mind staying up late to accommodate the Americans if they won't be on 'til later.

The main differences to Halo 1 are probably:
- A lot more weapons (all the Halo 1 guns are in there, tweaked a little but there are a lot more Covenant guns)
- More vehicles
- You can dual-wield some guns now
- In H3 they added 'equipment', which is stuff like portable shields, landmines, etc, that you can carry around and deploy (you can only carry one thing with you at a time).
The basic gameplay is pretty much unchanged,... [more]

I can probably make it, and I'll be more likely to come if it's somewhere near/easily accessible from Victoria or London Bridge station.
