I turned to go to the toilet and realised I couldn't because there's an extra apostrophe in it.

I spun around to the bartender and she said "I know! It's on purpose, put there for people like you!"

Grrrrrr.

Otherwise, this Disarrono and coke is lovely.

Happy Father's Day!

Chocolate Bacon Cake

I decided that since my Mini-Swirl Bundt pan arrived I should christen it with something amazing.

Enters Bacon.

From Chrysta Wilson's "Kiss My Bundt" I made her recipe for Chocolate Bacon Cake (its an adorable little book with some awesome drawings if anyone is interestedhttp://www.amazon.com/Kiss-My-Bundt-Recipes-Award-Winning/dp/0977412024/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1370738735&sr=8-1 ).  I used a bit less sugar than she called for and I added a TBSP of canola oil.  I also used dark chocolate morsels in the ganache.

And what I got was an amazingly rich and chocolately cake.  It is more savoury than sweet (due to using bacon grease as the fat) but rose much higher than I anticipated (they were like round swirly bombs...perfect for filling with ganache).  A few bites and I was filled with happy.

It is just me or is The Wanted's new song 'Walks like Rihanna' the most misogynistic bullshit ever?

I'm surprised no one else seems to have made an issue of it. Or even commented on it.

Seems like rather odd behaviour for a young, new, popular boyband, especially one with swathes of fangirls.

Here are some pics from the +HIRL with +Tiffany Henry, +Andy Bohm, +Sonny Williamson and +Joanna Ivison :D

I didn't take that many photos, and somehow I only managed to take one photo of a person - +Andy Bohm! But the others were there, I promise. Look through their posts for proof ;)

As you can see in the photos, we wandered around Borough Market, Queen's Walk, London Tombs (and survived!), Tower Bridge, Tower of London and many other places. Yummy food was eaten, lots of pictures were taken, loads of check-ins were made and many hugs were had. All-in-all it was an awesome 2 days - thanks guys! :D

(Sorry there aren't that many interesting pictures... I kept forgetting to take any!)

Here's a picture +Andy Bohm took on our +HIRL in London yesterday. He wasn't paying any attention to his camera when he took this, so naturally it came out even better than his usual photographs! ;) Thanks Andy :)

For anyone interested, this was taken in front of the HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge (not London Bridge!)

So I had emoticon faces on some of my pictures, which I put on there with the (April Fools') emoticon button. 

I left them there cos I knew they could be removed.

But now the button has gone. And I don't want them there forever. :'(

+Google+ will this be returning, and/or available at least as an option to remove the emoticon?

This is awesome and I adore this theme.

The other two are quite nice but feel a bit clunky. Keyboard definitely feels faster now. It used to lag all the time on my nexus7. And it appears faster after tapping in a text box (stock keyboard is immediate, and +SwiftKey shows up quickly on my other devices).

Thanks for the heads up, +Android Central

Carbon Dioxide Reaches the Highest Level ever in Human History

#globalwarming #carbondioxide #climatechange 
#sciencesunday #euromaestro 

Congratulations to mankind, we have managed to set a new record.

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached a new high obtaining 400 parts per million.  This concentration level is substantially higher than the pre-industrial levels which varied between 180 and 280 parts per million. 

The scientific consensus largely attributes this substantial rise to anthropogenic sources.  (That mean us). 

The data in the chart is gathered from the NOAA, a US government agency that has monitored carbon dioxide levels continually since 1959 from an observatory in Hawaii. 

It is true that in Earth's history, there have been higher levels of Carbon Dioxide but this hasnot be... more »

So according to +Gaming On Linux, Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2 and Lost Coast are now available in beta for Linux!

Naturally I couldn't help but, ah, test HL2:E1 (that's the only HL2 I have on Steam).

It runs flawlessly on my computer (+NVIDIA GPU of course). And actually runs better than on Windows. Furrealz.

The only problem is I just realised I never completed HL2. So I'm not really sure what's going on.

Definitely can't afford it yet buttttttt

I wanna get +Netflix. Is it truly worth it? Is there stuff on there that I'd like?

After a month's trial, I'll hopefully have a job and then be able to afford it anyway, but I don't want to fall in love with it and then have to give it up again so soon. That hurts.

Requesting Pros and Cons of Netflix, as well as show and film suggestions.

(credit to +Lifehacker for the screenshot - idk if you're one of those sites that gets shitty about people stealing your images. Anyway I'm obviously not claiming it to be mine as a) I don't use Unity and b) I haven't yet got Netflix so I couldn't possibly screenshot this screen. Idk why I'm typing all of this. Extended disclaimer, I guess.)

Thank you +Lifehacker!
I just found +Whitson Gordon's guide about running CHDK and managed to turn my little Canon point-and-shoot into a camera with all sorts of extra features.

I can now override a load of things like flash power, ISO, bracketing, video bitrate and quality, video optical zoom.
I can use tools like live histograms and panoramas.
I can run custom scripts (written in Lua).
I can even play Snake, Tetris and Sudoku.

But best of all, I can shoot in RAW format. :D

The majority of their cameras are supported, so if you have one and feel like tampering around with it then head on over to the link below! Note that you will need to be slightly technically minded in order to make sense of the guide.
The process is operating system-independent so I was able to do it with no trouble on Linux.
