After almost 4 months, my Raspberry Pi arrived this past weekend. I’ve already overclocked a little (no overvolting, don’t want to scrap the warranty just yet), installed the debian squeeze image, promptly replaced that with the preview of the raspbian image (now officially available on the downloads page), ran Quake 3, found my old cd and got the retail pak installed, tweaked the config, and got the timedemo up to 36.1fps. I tried to get the Urban Terror mod going and discovered an issue that’s a non-starter related to a required memory allocation. I also made a temporary cardboard case for it (it looks horrible). In the near future I’m going to upgrade the sd card to a larger/faster one I already have and I’m still deciding on building/buying a nicer case. A usb hard drive install is probably next.

I’m envisioning some other projects for it, but right now I’m just doing some performance tinkering and seeing what I can squeeze out of it…

Cool stuff:

Swagger from wordnik looks pretty cool.  “Swagger is a specification and complete framework implementation for describing, producing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful web services”

Code Poet has books, interviews, resources for those involved with wordpress.

wp-cli is a wordpress command line interface and I’m totally geeking out on this.

brewerydb has an api.  sweet.

Best client from hell story:  group of doctors who wanted to do a hypnosis porn site.

Not so cool:

ajax calls with w3tc don’t cache. boo. hiss.
