Raspberry Pi Latest Update - Pt 3

I'm now on my third Raspberry Pi update from RS Components but still no nearer to getting my hands on one.

CE testing and certification is now complete and they have received 2,000 of the devices and those at the front of the queue have already been invited to go to their dedicated shop to make their purchase.

Now the testing has been completed and was successful, they have vamped up production so (hopefully) I'll be able to get my hands on one soon!

Sony Reader PRS-T1 - Unboxing

Good job I didn't go out this morning as my shiny, new, Sony eReader turned up this morning!  I only ordered it yesterday and didn't expect it to be delivered until Monday!

Let the un-boxing commence...

It's in what I call an 'Apple Style' box where the box is made of quality cardboard and is just big enough to fit the product.

As you can see, it's nicely wrapped up inside too.

As it's a European model, as well as the UK paperwork there is an assortment of languages to choose from:

After removing the last piece of packaging I'm left with a very, very light eBook reader:

All I need to do now, is plug it in to my computer with the supplied USB lead and charge it up!

A full review will be coming soon!

The Greatest Sandwich In The World

I'm big fan of Subway but it's a lot of money for what in essence is a fairly simple and cheap thing to prepare yourself so I decided to give it a go and have managed to create the most amazing sandwich roll you're ever likely to have the pleasure of eating!

Ingredients/Instructions:  Take a fresh un-buttered roll and start by placing a slice of German Salami on the bottom.  Take a slice of Bernard Matthews low-fat Turkey Breast and place that on top of the Salami.  Now grab a slice of juicy ham and top off with a low-fat cheese slice (must be processed and not real cheese).

Repeat this process so you have two lots of Salami/Turkey/Ham/Cheese on top of each other.  Now spread some Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise on top, add some cucumber, lettuce, thinly sliced carrot, some red salad pepper and crispy iceberg lettuce.

You now have the most amazing roll/sandwich you will have ever tasted!

Raspberry Pi Latest Update - Pt 2

I've just received another Raspberry Pi update from RS Components, this time it tells me that 2000 of the devices have landed at the Pi Foundation in Cambridge but they are still testing them so we can't have them just yet.

They are waiting for the testing certificate to come through (there has been some debate on whether they need this or not).

RS have created a dedicated Raspberry Pi online store and once the testing has completed they will invite the first bunch of people in the queue to purchase one.

They will then move to the next group of people in the queue and invite them to go to the store as and when more stock arrives.

The only thing they don't tell you is whereabouts in the queue you are so I could be waiting days, weeks or even months before I receive my invitation...
