TriLUG Meeting - Raspberry Pi - January 10, 2013

A collection of Tweets (mostly mine) from the @TriLUG meeting on Raspberry Pi. I'll also be tweeting from @Splat_Space on Saturday while at the Raspberry Pi workshop, so join the conversation!

  1. Nearly 120 in attendance at the #trilug #raspberrypi talk. Best attendance since I've been here.
  2. #raspberrypi made for educational purposes... 100k rushed to buy the first 10k boards. #trilug
  3. "Motivation for #raspberrypi not to make money, but to improve skills of kids as they grow up". #trilug
  4. All sorts of pins: UART, I2C, simple on/off... but pins are not fault tolerant. #raspberrypi #trilug
  5. I'm pretty sure the names of all #raspberrypi accessories are legally mandated to be some sort of dessert-related pun. #trilug
  6. I would have loved to get involved in the writing of the #raspberrypi educational manual. #trilug http://tinyurl/RPi-edu
  7. Comparing #arduino to #raspberrypi : You need a "real computer" to dev an arduino... not the pi. #trilug
  8. "Since most of my mission-critical cloud infrastructure is built on Raspberry Pi..." #tongueincheek #trilug
  9. Kid in the audience is telling @alandipert how to do #scratch. He's played this before! :) #trilug
  10. Scratch creates a palette and a sandbox, crucial elements for getting kids excited about programming. #raspberrypi #scratch #trilug
  11. "The limitations are gone, and that's not that fun." Clinton $LASTNAME on modern computing (as opposed to #raspberrypi) at #trilug
  12. Next speaker is Clinton, and I love how he says limitations are what inspire creativity. #trilug #raspberrypi
  13. This is the most fun I've ever had watching someone program. I wish I knew your Twitter handle, Clinton! #trilug #raspberrypi
  14. "You've reinvented Gopher!" - Someone at #trilug about surfraw and friends #raspberrypi
