Raspberry PI - FALC

[neil]

So who's got one and what are you using it for? Mine was sat on my doormat when I got home last night so will be having a play about tonight.

Still waiting on mine, paid for it 3 weeks or so ago

[neil]

I'd paid for mine months back. Had forgotten I'd bought it till it turned up!

[les]

mines due next week

[BiggestNizzy]

As for plans, I want to learn some programming as I haven't done any since I tinkered with BASIC on the spectrum/BBC micro.

I do fancy building an encosure that will house one with a mouse emulating touchscreen to run XBMC

[neil]

I think I'll be installing Raspbmc tonight. Would like to do some programming but I'm sure I'll lose interest before I get to that stage

[Corranga]

I'd quite like one as a media box, and would like to attempt to case it in something silly like a gameboy or similar, but I'd never get around to it and have too much boring, regular apps development to be doing, plus I never really suck with programming the Playstation Net Yaroze, Gameboy Advance, Ps2 or Nintendo DS, all of which I find more interesting and all of which have sat happily not being coded for for many years

How you boys getting on ?

Saw this today which looks easier for the less C++ minded

not had a chance to play with it, I started to do googles online Python course as to be honest that last thing I programmed had an owl on it

[neil]

I've had a play but not done any programming. Installed raspbmc which seems to work quite well, then noticed you can use it as a Squeezebox. Got as far as installing the software then gave up when I couldn't get any audio out. Will pick it up again at some point...

No Raspberry PI for me, I'm still trying to get to grips with my i-Phone, only had it four years.................

Not meaning to take the mickey here but I though it was developed for kids, particularly in under developed nations??

[j2 lot]

very little of the above means anything to me
( I can work an i-phone & i-pad though just )

[robin]

I'll pay £5 each for the first 10 unwanted Raspberry pis I'm offered ...

Cheers,
Robin

I'm quite interested to see what gets done with them, as they seem to be a good bit of kit for not much money. But I don't know anything about programming, and have no idea what I'd use one for so I've steered clear for now!
