Ask HN: Raspberry Pi coming soon. What's going to be your first project?
Being an ex PIC programmer, I've been really excited to put my hands on a Raspberry Pi, and now that its so close (on.mash.to/rGil3z), I'm not sure I should even use it for first.
What kind of uses will you have for it?
- koenigdavidmj 15y ago1. Get ArmedSlack running on it. 2. With the first point done, cheap firewall/network gateway.
- chmielewski 15y agoI've always been interested in automotive computing, but having a computer in my car has always been impractical... until now!
- ianwootten 15y agoFor me, it has to be a media centre. I'm very happy to have been accepted on to the qtonpi developer program too, building software for use with digital cameras.
- ja27 15y agoI'll probably just play with it, but a project I could use one for is a squid / DansGuardian server for our kids.

It would be fun to have a portable computer and script an interface accessible for parties where people can cue up music on their smartphones. If i really got after it, I could script location of songs i dont have via youtube...lots of cool possibilities.
