Seat68 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) I have baked 2 cakes. The first was a lemon drizzle effort that should have gone in the bin. The second is a banana loaf sat in the oven as I type. I can guess how it will be before its done. Edited May 13, 2020 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 In our team meeting today, we've decided the agenda for next wednesday. A bake off. Literally, we've been asked to bake a cake to show it to our colleagues. Think we're struggling for work... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Another showing of a virtual festival from the Defected stable on Friday. This week it's the turn of the Glitterbox brand. These have been excellent so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I woke up last Saturday and made a banana loaf. Turned out immaculately. I added walnuts and melted cooking chocolate on top, too.

I have absolutely no idea how such backgrounds would work - surely the camera is pointed at you and whatever is actually behind you? Don't tell me you print it put and blow it up to wall size?

Don't tell me you print it put and blow it up to wall size? Just a little bit of software recognises what’s you and what isn’t and sets ‘wallpaper’ to the background. It’s not perfect, you can see the software catching up if you move quickly. Really handy if the best WiFi is in the bedroom or somewhere you just don’t want others seeing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of assumed it was something like that. Just amazed that it actually works. As imavillan said, does it also work on WhatsApp? Or HouseParty?

You're joking. Nothing whatsoever before the mid-70s (when Peel shows started going to shit)* Let's have the good stuff, from 1967-1975. * My opinion, natch. Your mileage may vary.
