This is excellent, wonder if I still have my JCL cbt's kicking round on an old hard disk!

It may very well of been "The Personal Computer Handbook", cant find any pics of the cover on the net. But might get a s/h copy off amazon anyway, cheers Jongoleur. I used to have "Choosing and Using Your Home Computer" as well, I'd forgot about that that one. :) I found this eB...

*Cough* who me? Ok guilty as charged!

Quick question, why is the virtual ram set to 192mb? Is this to mimic the cpu/gpu ram split or does it need to be 256mb to match the RasPi?

I bit the bullet a couple of weeks back and got one of these http://www.maplin.co.uk/compact-twin-us ... ply-562310

More than I wanted to pay for a psu, but the shops just round the corner from where I work and it did stop my RasPi hanging.

Back when it was all fields and I was a kid, (mid 80's) my dad got me a hardback computer book that was essentially a review and a little bit of history of the home computers at the time. I read it cover to cover many times. It included the zx80/1, Spectrum 16/48, vic20/c64, trs80, oric1, dragon 32,...

The red LED is for when it's angry, mine seems to be exhibiting threatening behavior most of the time!

Yup it's a baby Vara, bought it as a cheap commuter a few years back as it's mostly A roads I use so don't need the grunt of a bigger bike.

Used to have a few bikes but the Vara's the only one that's survived my cull last year, as it's the cheapest to run and by far the comfiest.

Been a while since I've had a decent commute to work.

I know some peeps will have a lot nicer and warmer commutes, but for once it wasn't raining or snowing so I thought I'd stop n take a few pics.

Really like the new forum, it's definitely a lot quicker!
I've even managed to find my original account, although I've got used to using my alternate nic now

Well done and keep up the good work.

Ah, I see Stewart has allready posted his nifty idea in the news thread, mods feel free to delete this post if need be.

n3tw0rk5

I love this idea, it's something my 9 year old nipper would be well into doing.

Probably best to try RS Components as Farnell still weren't shipping to Brazil when I checked last week.

I'm used to using lvextend n fsadm on hp-ux to do this, but i'm still fairly green to linux, i'll have a play on a vm and see how it goes.

Thanks for the info.

<t>Ok folks, is it possible to extend the Raspi debian root partition on the fly from command line? It's an 8gb sd card so there's plenty of space on there, I know a few peeps seem to be using gparted on laptops, but i'm ssh'ing remotely to the raspi. I know I could just create...

<r>I'm looking to setup multiple raspi's for use in my workshop, to keep this neat I've been looking at stackable cases, but the main problem is that the cables would end up pulling the stack over, even with cable management. So I needed to find a cheap base to attach the bottom case/s to...

Let us know if you are setting up a blog for this, as it would be interesting to follow the progress.

<t>So have they offered the 4k or whatever amount they have to more than that amount of people or have they matched a pi to person and if say ones not ordered within a day or two then it moves to someone else in the queue, just wondering if anyone knows how this is being handled? It would...

n3tw0rk5

The first batch from the initial 10k that the Foundation ordered was sent out a couple of weeks ago.

The 2nd batch will most likely be going out next week.

After that it's what RS and Farnell are ordering.

My raspi keeled over again so I've been to maplins and got a high spec psu and a quality cable.

Will try them tonight and see what happens but if it still freezes after this it cant be a power issue. At least then I can concentrate on looking elsewhere for the cause.

<t>I've eliminated the power/usb cable possibilty by upgrading both, no USB peripherals are attached. only thing I can think of is some sort of memory hog. The RasPi just freezes allthough the lan light still blinks, but cant connect via console or ssh. Only thing I can do is pull the pow...
