Was able to improve my recording technique (thanks Mick)
and produce an improved video (still working on it)

Here is the code and resources if you want to play with it

In a couple of days, we should have a new compile of puppi. For those with SD cards at the ready . . . Expect Debian Wheezy code base and alpha1 quality.

You can now order as many Pi's as you want

A 5 mega pixel camera 'Gert' daughter board will be available in coming months. I wish it had been 14 mega pixel but 5 is decent enough . . . Expect other fun stuff . . .

The smarter the dog.
The better the tricks.

Guys yesterday we had two releases of Debian Puppi.
check 19 Jul 2012 entry Very Happy

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/PuppiNews

Sadly I had difficulties with dd and was only able to play a little with Micks first alpha using ARM woof Debian wheezy code.
I got real recognizable sound - oh yeah Cool

and it seems that Barry will producing a Wheezy woof build too . . .

Some very interesting things are emerging.
Wot browser? We need testers and recommendations. So far I have been happiest with Chrome and Iceape (A Debian version of Seamonkey)
Because we now have a ppm other browsers can be tried. So some experiments welcome.
Mick has made the point that Midori only seems stable under Slack build. Could be.

The difficulties with dd amaze me. I use this from Slacko (5.3.3.2) and am tempted to write a utility program but frankly testing might cause more writes to my SD card than it can take.
Is it just me or it a surprisingly flaky technology, why is it so less reliable than USB keydrives?

When Puppi joins the space program
http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1620 and other amazing projects we should find some further innovations.

We have the builders in at the moment.
That is mostly me in green overalls. Guttering fixed. Outside 'Dunny' concreting continues . . .

Well . . . OK no sheep skull and it flushes . . .
I rather like that skull image . . . m m m I have some deer antlers I might hang on the outside loo (english slang - originally from the French)

There's interesting info about VLC player on this page

The current beta doesn't work for Arm v6 --> that means Raspberry

I got the 'Built to spec' kit, pretty cool. Pretty fast delivery, easy to assemble.

Just placed my Raspberry Pi order (through Farnell), should arrive within 3 weeks.

Meanwhile, I'm working on more build scripts for Puppy's PET packages. So far, I have 42 packages - most of the rest (about 250 packages) is architecture-independent (e.g consisting of scripts, like Pburn), so I think progress is awesome - porting stuff to ARM was never easier Wink

The future looks bright apart from that one need to buy
a new monitor or use the family TV that is in another room.

Then those that have only one TV would get very upset Smile

RPi is for Scool or loners that have TV in the computer shack Smile

ooups or are rich enough to have one TV for each family member.

IDK if anyone has tried it, but the Rpi _should_ fit in a deep electrical wall receptacle enclosure (the heavy duty 22 cubic inch or larger pvc type) and still have room for a shallow outlet and maybe some custom dongles (hdmi/rca, etc...) and small usb devices (wifi/bluetooth...). even if you don't add AC sockets or put it in a wall it could be a good way to mount it out of the way, in which case you could even use the shallow type ... all for less than a buck (though not as cheap as the printable cases - still not bad)
for USA, mcmelectronics.com seems to have most of the necessities, but shipping seems high
$35 Raspberry pi
$6.99 hdmi wall plate
$1.79 1.5ft m-m hdmi cable
$14.99 wireless keyboard and mouse
$6.99 1A AC->micro usb adapter
opening up the AC adapter to connect to existing electrical would require some tech skill, perhaps someone has a better solution
