I live in Brighton and the vast majority of people I know use http://www.just-eat.co.uk/ which is basically an online wrapper for ordering takeaways. It covers loads of the local places and you usually get free delivery within a ~2 mile radius for orders over £8 or a ~£3 surcharge for delivery. You can order pretty much any kind of fast food from there, although the big companies (McDonalds, etc) don't deliver.

This is a really good read! I'm a first year CS student and I'm interested in going into research later on.
Thanks for writing this.

When I scroll the page, it lags slightly. I'm using a reasonably fast computer on Linux and this kind of thing doesn't happen all that much. I can only assume it's because of all the elaborate javascript, CSS, etc.

This is seriously awesome. I don't have a 3D printer or any real facilities for making electronics, but I can't wait to see what kinds of things people make. :)

They're still on invite-only. I remember them having some problems, but I think it's also taking a long time because their idea is so damned ambitious...

You're over your Google API quota. Also, we can see the error traceback - is that supposed to happen? Anyway, this is really good that you're trying awesome stuff like this and you're 11. At your age I was still writing noughts and crosses XD

Maybe agreements like ACTA aren't just the result of copyright lobbying, but also groupthink?

Oh wow, this is brilliant. I had heard of rainy mood before, but I'm so grateful you've found an mp3 of it. This is going to be on my mp3 player all the time now.
