Welcome

This site is a collection of various activities and oddities that I like to work on.  The Spaceroom was a project I worked on for a number of year and occasionally come back to.  Music has been a major activity since I was young and provides a place to share the music I have produces over the years in a variety of settings.  The newest area of interest is sakê, the japanese rice beverage.

I hope you find something of interest...

Care for Some Pi?

Aug
25

I recently acquired a [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] board. It is a very cool device running linux on an ARM chip, with USB, Ethernet, HDMI output and the operating system runs off an SD card. The board costs only $35.

So it took me about 20 minutes to image the SD card and boot the machine up. Start up X Windows and I find a browser and some interesting other applications on the desktop.

One of my main goals of using the board is to take advantage of its IO capabilities. it comes with GPIO pins, and can be connected to other devices including an [http://www.arduino.org Arduino]. The Arduino is useful because it can handle more types of devices. The downside of the Arduino is that it uses a single control loop to perform its actions. With the RPi hopefully i can use the more sophisticated programming environment.

Most of my work has been using Delphi (object orient pascal). A open-source development tool is [http://www.lazarus.org Lazarus] that uses Free Pascal Compiler. (It is heavily based on Delphi).

There were a couple of odd things in getting installed:
First I ran:
apt-get install fpc
