\"Pirthday_sm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or should that be Pirthday? Hmmm… Could be “a thing”… Maybe not…<\/em><\/p>\n

Four years ago today, I received my first Raspberry Pi!<\/p>\n

It’s been quite a journey since then. I started work on my first project in the first couple of months – the Picorder<\/a>. Three years later, I was still working on it. My first exposure to the Raspberry Pi community was the Milton Keynes Raspberry Jam, run by all-round brilliant person Peter Onion. There, I met a lot of people who I’m still proud to call ‘friend’. The community has been, and continues to be, a lifeline for me. The folks at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, likewise, have been fantastic and I even worked there for a few days on the Jam section of their website<\/a>. More friendships formed. Probably the biggest thing to happen to me is that I re-started the Cambridge Raspberry Jam<\/a> and then later, with my friend Tim Richardson<\/a>\u00a0we expanded it to what it is today – an event regularly attracting around 200 people. Add to that our involvement with the Raspberry Pi Big Birthday Weekend and, of course, Pi Wars<\/a>, it’s certainly kept me busy for four years!<\/p>\n

To celebrate the occasion, I’m running a competition<\/strong>. The winner of the competition will receive a\u00a0Raspberry Pi 3<\/strong> plus a\u00a0RasPiO Analog Zero<\/strong><\/a> board that allows you to read up to 8 analog inputs and gives you a small prototyping area.\u00a0It’s a kit but it will be all soldered up for you (if you choose).<\/p>\n

To enter the competition, visit this page and fill in the form<\/a><\/strong>. Entry closes on the 30th June sometime after noon<\/strong>. If you win, I’ll contact you after that date to arrange for delivery. If you’d like, you\u00a0can<\/em> have it delivered to someone other than yourself! I won’t use the\u00a0captured data for anything else, so don’t worry about spammage. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
