TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

...now what should I do with it???   :evil:

Also: I grabbed an Adafruit cobbler breakout board as well so once I solder it, I'll have access to the GPIO pins.

XBMC

duh. I thought everybody knew that.

Elder Iptuous

were you wanting to do a physical computing type project, or just a small form factor electronics box like the xbmc thing?

Bu🤠ns

Ultimately, I wanted to get a better understanding of electronics and programming.  But I don't want to not try other physical computing stuff either.

Bu🤠ns

I have xbmc on 5 computers/consoles/laptops at home already so that's already been done 

Bu🤠ns

I'd really like to see if i can do some sort of home automation "Jarvis" kinda thing.  Someone in IRC mentioned that emacs did a voice recognition thing...but that's emacs...and i'm not opposed to learning it...buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut....

Elder Iptuous

yeah. i'd love to do some voice recognition stuff for home automation.  i currently know very little about programming (aced my C class in university 7 years ago, but that's about it)
So, i've got the bug too.  maybe we could compare notes as we go along?
I also wanted to dig into the ROS stuff and the OpenCV.  that seems pretty interesting.
RasPi doesn't have a lead time anymore, does it?

Warm it up and put ice cream on it

duh

I've been looking at those things for computer vision stuff, but I am doubtful that it has enough power for that. I'll probably go with a low-end MicroATX/x86 processor.
Formerly something else...

are you going to mess with the OpenCV stuff?  i received a 360 with kinect for christmas, and i want to mess around with it...

Bruno

SimpleCV for Python, which is really just a Python interface for OpenCV

http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2338  -- RISC OS for the pi -- so yeah i guess you could

This fellow did a Jarvis although I have yet to watch it in full: http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/how-to/software/diy-jarvis-digital-assistant

mine torrents links I send it from my phone so stuff is downloaded when I get home for me to watch.
