Raspberyy Pi Update

[Nitestick]

I got a letter from Element 14 letting me know mine is shipping. Ha....a letter, that's what those things look, haven't seen anything on paper in a long time.

Wow ... how old school of them lol.

What are your plans with it Nitestick?

Honestly no idea yet, looks like I've filled all my device niches at the moment but I'll think of something! I might actually set it up in a little box to stick on my monitor at work as an alternate computer because I don't like my limited control. I'm sure no one would notice.

ROFL. Got that right, Nitestick.

LOL that would be a sweet setup.
Plug both into the monitor and just switch the input on the monitor if need be lol.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My Raspberry is now shipped to me. Got my invoice.

Only took, what, 3 months?

My thoughts exactly . Well it'd be easy enough to leave it permanently plugged in and swap over when I need less restricted use. It's just a pity I won't be able to use all 3 monitors.

Mine turned up the day after the letter, still don't really have a solid plan for it and I've only got as far as firing it up with a Debian image at work and leaving it to the amusement of our admins. They want about a half dozen now for embedded purposes around the office , e.g to run some screens we've got hooked up with server and network monitors etc.

I just got mine today. Can't wait to plug it up. Just looking at it atm.

Did you ever get outside Debian? Because I tried installing raspbmc, and it never got past the point where its supposed to download files.
