A couple of days ago we found these roe in our fish tank.

We're trying to work out which fish they came from. We want to separate them out to make sure they're not in danger of being nibbled up by a different species of fish.

I'm pretty certain it's almost impossible to tell, as they're so small and indistinct - and they probably do look the same as a lot of other fish eggs.

However, the internet is a big place with a lot of people, so perhaps someone can identify them. To help narrow it down, these are the fish species we have in the tank:

Leopard/Zebra/Giant Danios; Silver Tipped Tetras; Glow Lights; Mountain Minnows; and a Sail Fin Plec (who hasn't got a mate :( )

I think you'll all just look at this and think I'm silly for posting this, and so for that reason I am going to point out that +Carri Lee wanted me... more »

*HUMP DAY CIRCLE SHARE*

I'm throwing down a circle of my most interactive as of lately. I want to meet some new people, so help me get over that HUMP by tagging in a new person you would want nominated for the next hump day share. I'm going to do it biweekly, so be sure and get them in so I can curate.

**PLEASE RESHARE AND CIRCLE*** 

If you were notified, you are in the circle. Also, +Brett Bjornsen is the VIP in this circle. He knows why. So do you. 

DO THIS THING. MEET THESE PEOPLE.

Playing on a Chromebook at +John Lewis. 
It's gorgeous and I want one.
A bit laggy though, I think I'd have to get the higher spec one. :D

I told this to share to Google+ and facebook when I published it but it didn't work =/

Anyway... This keeps happening to my Atrix phone.

I thought it might be a software/firmware issue, as I recently installed a new ROM and custom development kernel, but it's definitely a hardware issue as it still happens now, even though I've flashed entirely different software. It's probably just a loose connection somewhere. But I can't work out why it only does it sometimes - that doesn't really make sense.

I took it all apart yesterday but couldn't get between the screen and the chipboard without feeling like I was about to snap it.

If anyone has any suggestions that'd be great, thanks. :P

(Yes, I know I could Google for all the answers, but where's the fun in that?)

p.s. sorry for the background music. There... more »

#showyourdesktopfriday - not done one of these in a long while. 
Mostly because everything's the same now - I'm happy and comfortable with +GNOME Shell, and I haven't yet found a theme to replace stock because stock is so damn clean and sharp.

More interesting, perhaps, are the icons I have on my desktop. They tell an odd story. :P

What would it be like to be straight in a gay world?

+James Gregory just shared this on twitter. It may be 20 minutes long but it's definitely worth watching.

I actually thought up something similar to this a while ago, but never did anything with it.... Perhaps I'll try to turn it into a book or something.

Verrrry powerful and moving, even though the concept itself shouldn't be. Just shows how terrified people are of things they don't understand. For a race of highly advanced sentient creatures, we sure suck at comprehension and acceptance of things we haven't experienced.

Here is a list of the kernel components being worked on for the Motorola Atrix.

Most of them are now green.
Lots are blue.
Five are purple.
NONE are red.

And mostly importantly, the Fingerprint Driver is partially complete! This is the most sought-after feature of the Atrix, as it's the only phone in the world (apparently?) with a fingerprint scanner. Moto also only ever released the drivers for it for Gingerbread, and so the fingerprint scanner never worked with anything post-GB.

Just as a brief explanation for anybody who's interested enough to have read this far, but doesn't really know why this is so significant:

Motorola stopped releasing code for this with Gingerbread, despite promising ICS. They leaked a partially complete ICS-beta kernel, but it was too buggy and shit to be particularly useful.... more »

So I really tried. Really hard. But I made them wrong.

These are supposed to be "Earth Day cupcakes" but the mixture was too heavy and they didn't work. :( However they did taste good :D

I blame c**, (and with good reason, eh +Elisa T) but I'm not telling you what that says because I don't want that discussion on every. gorram. post.

Here's the recipe: birdonacake.blogspot.de/2012/04/earth-day-cupcakes.html

I will be making a second attempt in the next few days. :)

+Mathew Hanley just showed me these. They were posted somewhere on facebook and

I want to make them omg

I'm assuming they were something to do with Earth Day? But they're awesome so I'm going to make them anyway.

Not sure though if the filling is just icing or red cake mix in a tube...

I like this post.

HUDs, on-board diagnostics, up-to-date in-car systems, POV-racing videos, recorded and quantified driving stats, drowsiness detection.

Just a few of the things that could easily be possible with +Project Glass in a car.

As well as the obvious benefit of not having to fumble around with buttons and knobs and awkward resistive touchscreens to do simple things like reroute or change song.

Thanks +WIRED.

I finally made the cake +Carrie Canup invented and posted the other day!

It's not quite right, but overall it went very well, and in my opinion it looks and tastes pretty good. (Although it doesn't look anything like +Carrie Canup's.)
The family seemed to like it as well, and I think I believe them as we've already eaten over a quarter of it.

However, I think I put way too much carrot and pineapple in it - converting arbitrary food masses from cups to grams is terribly difficult! So it's ended up rather sticky and goopy, but it did cook which is obviously a good point.

Finally I roasted the dessicated coconut until half of it was golden brown, and then plastered it all over the outside.

So all in all, I think it was a success. In it is plenty of pineapple, carrot, coconut, sugar, spices and brandy. Can't really go wrong with... more »

Well so far this is going horrendously.

I thought I'd checked for the ingredients this morning, but lo and behold I was missing most of them...

After hunting for the flour (yes, I hadn't even checked for that) and baking soda (we call it bicarbonate of soda), I mixed it all together and it was looking about right. 
I couldn't add the nuts as I'm allergic to them (I wanna have my cake and eat it), so I grated up the carrot and crushed up some dried pineapple. Except we didn't have either of those things, so I didn't actually do that. 

I thought maybe I could substitute the grated carrot with dessicated coconut - which the recipe actually calls for later anyway - but we didn't have any of that either. I finally settled on some cocoa powder (just because) and some raisins. Yeah, I know. Not even comparable. Then I smashed up extra chocolate(... more »

Apparently this just happened? A thing called #CISPA passed.

I've been totally out of the loop for a few days so don't really have any idea what's going on.

Sounds like fun though.

And the email I received from +Fight for the Future reads:

"It’s time to get pissed. The U.S. law that would turn Google, Facebook, and Twitter into legally immune government spies just passed the House.

"This bill affects everyone -- not just U.S. citizens. Anyone with a Facebook account could now have their data shipped directly to the U.S. government. That's why Internet users overwhelmingly oppose this bill. Over 1.5 million people signed petitions against it. But Congress didn’t listen.

Easily my best investment in the last few months.

I haven't got very far into reading them yet, but my dad loves them and is powering through. We talk about it nearly every day :D

(Plus, he's really good with history, so he tidies up all the things like family trees, battles and sieges which happen that I didn't pick up on. Feels like a Westeros history lesson :P)
