What's Your Pi Plan??

Former Member

Hi!

 

Just curious about what people were planning on using their Raspberry Pi's for once they started getting them!??

 

Current plan- SFF Media PC / NAS etc mounted onto the VESA on the back of my TV

 

Later plan- Replace car stereo etc with RPi

 

Probably not the most origional use there but still, godda start somewhere!

    Can't think of a better place to start than with RPi.   I've been a proudly self-proclaimed geek since I bought a Sinclair ZX80 as a kit.  I worked my way through BBC model B and Tandy TRS80 + a few other odds & sods (Anyone else heard of Regnecentralen and COMAL?) before I became an IT specialist in the RAF in the 1980s.  Have to say, though, that some of the stuff I see on this forum I struggle to follow  - I guess I'm just a bit out of the stream.  I can stick 'building blocks' together with a bit of code but much of the multiprocessing, parallel-stream stuff is too techie for meimage

    I guess I'm just too young to be understanding all of the stuff you guys have been doing for 20+ years. Lol being born in 1990 I've kinda had the technical part of everything already done for me. Also I'm sure a lot of you have a background in electrical engineering? My expertise is a little newer technology and systems development life cycle, cloud computing, android, networking, Windows, enterprise resource management, etc... graduating in May, hoping maybe the RPi becomes the next big thing and I can be the one who implements it at schools in my area who don't have the funds for computers.
