Looks at the box with a rasPi, bread-boarded arduino projects and various (unused) ESCs, motors, LiPos, plane plans and components etc and :laughs: Probly a good thing I didn't grab a Cox 0.049 yet.. 
Yup, know just how that one goes. "Life is the series of events that happens when we're busy planning something else" is a quote that comes to mind..
Not sure which of the two I'd buy just now if I didn't have the Pi. Probably still it, since it can do hardware encode/decode of 1920x1080 h264 video in real-time. Though for general purpose i/o, I'd likely go with a BBB.

I really like the BBB but the community support, number and types of capes, projects, etc. doesn't seem to be as numerous. And the fact that the OS is installed in memory instead of on a CD card is a bonus.

I wonder if there is cake?

I guess it depends on how many girls were working on the project. At my last job in an office full of them, hardly a week went by when there wasn't a cake-break for one reason or another. I miss that job - I miss the work there too.

I was making a very unobvious reference to the Game Portal with the cube and the presence or absence of cake 
I currently work in the Biotech industry and the majority of my colleagues are young women (trying not to to rub my knees a la Vic Reeves when I say that).
We also have cake every other day and a cake cooking competition each year, which involves around 70 cakes being cooked and consumed in the space of a month.

Driving to work, the volume got cranked all the way up to the epic intro of Dire Straits - Money For Nothing[^]. 
My hearing has been kind of iffy since then

YOU SHOULDN"T PLAY YOUR RADIO SO LOUD! YOU MIGHT SUSTAIN PERMANENT HEARING LOSS. TURN IT DOWN YOU PUNK!
It was broke, so I fixed it.

With all due respect, exceptions to this rule include almost any Dire Straits song, Layla, the solo in Hotel California (live), Europa (Santana), Go Your Own Way (Fleetwood Mac) and prolly several others.

That is generally my rule of thumb when playing, but too many years of playing in small bars with large amplifiers has had a lasting effect.
It is a small blessing with a slight curse, it becomes very easy to shut other peoples chatter out, but I have on occaision missed stuff I should have heard.

Very nice, you've got a lot of talent. I think I heard something you had done a while back you posted on FB and I was impressed. Somewhere I've got a version of Little Wing my old room mate did that sounds just like SRV, the guy had a lot of talent but a real infinity for blow and drink. If he would have become famous he wouldn't have lasted long.

Awesome Ravi. Voted and Bookmarked. I miss recordings that sound as 'alive' as that does, even on these crappy laptop speakers.
Love the title too.

Right on! (+5)...
I also nominate "Dazed and Confused" by either Zep (original) or Zepparella[^]...

Awesome tune, Mark Knopfler is an amazing artist!

He sure is. This was one of the very first CDs I ever bought. I don't think I bought it right when it came out, but maybe in 1986. [No, that can't be right. That's 27 years ago  ]

Dire Straits was OK and probably helped get him where he's at but I like his other stuff better.
