Raspberry Pi

Most readers here will be aware of the Raspberry Pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/) - a wonderful thing and, when it arrives, a fantastic contribution to my household.  We hope to get lots ...

My plan is to use an old DVI monitor and speakers I have kicking around before the home TV gets taken away from me, and buy the other hardware.  I hope power from a USB hub, which will also be plugged into the Pi for extra fun later, unless i invent perpetual motion machines, the hub will be mains powered.  I have a spare 700mA supply from an old phone if desperate ...

Costs so far:  £29 for the Pi.  Keyboard, mouse, hdmi, hdmi-dvi adaptor, powered usb hub (that can supply 2000mA/port), microusb cable, 4gig SD card total about £30.

The possibilities are endless - cheap NAS is the first that comes to mind - hidden away in the loft.

any thoughts welcome.

blogcercise update

typing this while waiting for the ipod to get enough charge to podcast me through the next phase (bet you didn't know podcast was a verb). Pleased to say that running was not held up by a work trip to Louvain-la-Neuve, but catching a virus has held thing for a week. About to start week 4.
