Raspberry Pi

My Raspberry Pi arrived, complete with T-shirt:

Now back to the days when computing was fun! Next on the shopping list: camera, a few motors, maybe a radio transmitter....

I was going to make a series of unboxing pictures, but there was little packaging and excitement meant that even that didn't last long.... :-)

International Journal on Advances in Intelligent Systems

I'm on the editorial board of the IARIA International Journal on Advances in Intelligent Systems

The journal is dedicated to specific topics related to automation, static and mobile agents, decision systems, special computational paradigms, advances in computer-human interaction, human-oriented modeling, and human-centric service and applications.

Special issues can focus on particular aspects related to autonomic components and systems, advanced correlation algorithms, applications of artificial intelligence, adaptive and interactive interfaces, ubiquitous services, anticipative systems, unmanned systems, robotics, processing of distributed geospatial data, or context-oriented information retrieval and processing.

Ritchie and McCarthy

A sad month for computing after the passing of two of the founder of the science:

• John McCarthy, inventor of Lisp and the founder of the AI paradigm
• Dennis Ritchie, inventor of C and Unix.

RIP to both.
