Great to be at #FurbyFest The University of Manchester Computer Science @ The University of Manchester celebrating the engineering achievements of Steve Furber and his remarkable influence on computer science and electronic engineering. Without Steve the foundations on which Raspberry Pi was built would simply not exist. Bravo πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Looking forward to giving the Keynote at our 3rd birthday party hosted by Cambridge Raspberry Jam. For some reason I seem to be 12 years older πŸ€”πŸ˜³ Somewhat more than 12 years in the making we have gone from 6 founders, with just an idea to .... well come and find out! πŸ‘πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Dave - it was memorable and set the scene for many more near space adventures. It also proved that Pi could be a route to discussions about so many spheres of science and technology, especially exploding ones! (Balloons that is😳)

CamJammers! Were you at the original #PiWars at the Institute of Astronomy in December 2014? Do you have any photos in your archive? We'd love to see them! :-)

Some peoples attitude to work is perfectly exemplified here.... sad and somewhat depressing. "Extra mile mate - nah not even a foot" What happened to - "no problem it will only take a minute or two and all the gear is here!"

For those who may be vaguely interested in my attempt to get #PiForce1 past 200K miles, I regret to announce that a catastrophic engine failure occurred at 186K Revs dropped from 3K to zero in 1.5 sec πŸ€”. Fortunately with some rapid clutch work managed to coast into a lay-by 😳

After a huge delay we are looking at Re-igniting Manchester Raspberry Jam @mcrraspjam in a new home at MMU. Please reach-out if you are interested and also give us your new favourite connector which may not be X. FYI it is likely to be November. Cheers - Pete
