I’ve had the thing for probably half a year, just sitting there in it’s little anti-static bag. I finally bought a 16GB [micro]SD card, then I finally attained a USB card reader/writer, then I finally downloaded and loaded the Debian Raspberry Pi distro on the card. Then I finally found where the board got to to stick the card in it.
Now I just need to actually plug it in and access it. I’m slow as hell on this stuff but like with every alien incomprehensible thing, I’m building up speed. I’ve got, off the top of my head, three projects to try out, so I’ve got to quit dawdling so much. This blog and post count as work done though, so at this specific moment I’m rock-&-rolling. The starting line is so close.
That’s a sweet piece of technology you have got your hands on, I have seen people do all sorts of things with it, from small programming projects commanding little electric engines to building an actual super computer, I woulda purchased it if it wans’t for my country’s tight ass export/import policies.
anyway happy computing, it seems for me that that little jewel is worth every penny invested in it.
