10:34.11gr0undhogLeeds: Hi, I'm back :-)
10:34.55Leedshi! and I'm just going out to get a kebab
10:35.19gr0undhogLeeds: Enjoy!
10:45.25z00daxhumm.. Kebab

11:18.10gr0undhogRight then peoples, words of wisdom sought: my SWMBO has offered to beg/borrow/steal, even buy, me a Raspberry Pi ere long. To keep my grey cells awake, apparently. To learn coding? I wonder - I'm still a very old fart so that will only continue. Opinions? TIA
11:24.23wethrinThey're neat little machines. But don't forget you'll need to get a keyboard, case, power supply, HDMI cable, etc. to make it properly usable
11:24.29wethrinAlso depends what you want to program
11:29.40gr0undhogHm. Much as I was wondering. I'd need a vdu as well,so cost seems to be building.
11:31.56gr0undhogOoo, my typing! However, I wouldn't know where to start re programming. I've enough to cope with managing my desktop and Chromebook laptop.
11:33.17wethrinI'm guessing electronics tinkering is out of the question then
11:34.13gr0undhogwethrin: Yes. My recent attempts at resuscitating a 12-year-old Packard Bell only got stalled, but that's another story ...
11:34.49gr0undhogIf you mean soldering, etc, definitely no.
11:35.02gr0undhogShaky hands
11:35.36wethrinIt could just be breadboards
11:37.29gr0undhogPart of the story is, peoples, that I was first offered a new desktop - the cost I thought would be unnecessarily high just to experiment with Linux with, so I thought of the Pi ...
11:38.00gr0undhogYeah, I know, gift horses ...
12:40.34Leedsa vdu? :)

13:44.56dloizoshi there folks
13:48.22dplI was wondering if someone could advise me - is the London LUG still going? I am on the website and it seems like there has not been a meeting for a while.
13:48.44dplDo folks forsee one in the near future? I would like to pop by and say hi

14:02.49dick_turpinHowever he has been snowed under with work lately, plus he think he was a bit disheartened with all the nobheads who did the usual crap of "Well if it was nearer to me in Paraguay I'd go."

20:58.01ChoHagMy god I think I've found the answer: I always use numbered steps, so I can ask "at which step in the documentation did it fail to work"?
