News this week on the Pi World

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

This month I will give the opportunity to provide attendees from the BetaBeers with a talk about the Pi, so I thought I'd do something practical instead of spending a boring powerpoint and amuse and impress the staff.

You can see the announcement here

We draw between the audience a Raspberry Pi B Starter Kit with accessories, thanks as always to raspipc.es.

Among other matters, this week I've incorporated many scripts to PiKISS family I would like to highlight: UAE4All Emulator 0.3 RC4, ownCloud 7.0.1 with NginX + SSL, Samba Config, NginX and my favorite SSID Configurator.

Let's go with the News:

• Meet Slice: the Raspberry Pi-powered media player with a difference: A project with a Raspberry Pi inside that has caught the attention of the media, as it has a modular Pi (as they appear notable uses of this board), a controller and a hard disk with a very cool case. | kickstarter.com

No, he is not James Spader

• Raspberry Pi Cluster: Having a cluster for computing power in the professional world is not that expensive and a good alternative if you use for it the Raspberry Pi. David Guill has created a cluster with 40 Raspberry PIs and his blog also teaches you the laser cut.| likemagicappears.com

I leave you with this interesting project where they use an interactive R2D2 to put a series of functions governed by a Raspi. Full details on his blog.

Happy weekend!
