I'm going to celebrate on European Pi day, 22 July. 22/7 is a better approximation than 3.14

I've used CodeSourcery to cross-compile for BeagleBoard's ARMv7. It should be able to target ARMv6. Here's a good starting point: http://www.elinux.org/ARMCompilers

<t>I looked up the Archos 7o internet tablet at archos.com and it can boot both Android and the Ångström GNU/Linux distribution. As others have said above, Android runs on top of Linux, but presents an entirely different user environment. Ångström is similar to other GNU/Linux distros, providing a...

<r>I've successfully used the CodeSourcery version of GCC on x86 Ubuntu to generate code for an ARMv7 BeagleBoard. The command line version is free. You should be able to use it for ARMv5/v6 with different compiler options. Here's a good starting point: <URL url="http://www.elinux.org/ARMCompiler...

A text version of "Hunt the Wumpus" is a nice size IMO. It a nice, gentle introduction to data structures.

I get the same behavior. April 3rd is what Newark said on the original order form. I got e-mail a couple of days after I ordered estimating May 14th. I suspect the April 3rd in the order status is erroneous.

That's my experience as well, but then most people I talk to aloud about RasPi have never heard of it before

You'll probably get follow-up e-mail with a later date. That's what happened to me with Newark / element14: "Expected to ship Apr 3, 2012" on the order form and a new estimate of May 14 a day or two later.

By the way, does anyone have an "I liked Raspberry Pi before it was cool" logo?

What?! The Raspberyy Pi was always cool!

How about "I liked Raspberry Pi before hipsters found out about it"?

<t>I think everyone did the best job they could under the circumstances. I was a bit disappointed, but as 6AM GMT approached (10PM PST on The Coast) I figured that if I was meant to get one of the first 10K then it would happen, otherwise not. So when it was obvious that the Newark/element14 and A...

<t>I got a cheap "Ultra-High Performance HDMI Switcher, 3to1 Switch" (X0003Q0MM3) from Amazon for about USD12. Works great with two PCs and a BeagleBoard, driving a DVI-D monitor. It uses a Pericom HDMI switch chip which buffers the HDMI differential pairs. It even includes an IR remote control ...

Liz, maybe a pre-release shirt for now: "I want a Raspberry Pi, but all I could get was this lousy T-shirt!"

Is that what it says on the Farnell/element14 T-shirts?
