      I need to get this for Bentley. It was my favorite book when I was a kid.

        Was just writing a blog entry and realized that I lived in a full DOZEN places during my 30s. Eleven unique ones, one I moved "back" to four years after having left it. A DOZEN!!

          I thought four places in two years was bad

            I might get one of these instead of the Raspberry Pi 3

            http://hackaday.com/2016/03/02/odroid-c2-bests-raspberry-pi-3-in-several-ways/

            Whoa never mind. Shipping is $16.

              I wish that someone would make something that is nearly the Raspberry Pi but with a Tegra X1 and 4GB of RAM.

                I'd just be happy with a Raspberry Pie. 😋

                      So I called the company I was supposed to start with yesterday to let them know I won't be taking the job and starting on Monday. The HR lady didn't answer, so I left a voicemail and explained everything. I haven't heard anything from her yet. Would an email suffice tomorrow morning, or do I need to call again?

                      It seems like there are a couple possibilities here. 1. She's not in this week or the last couple days (but you would think she would change her voicemail to show that). 2. She was sick and hasn't got it yet. 3. She's mad that I backed out and just didn't return my call (this may seem ridiculous but it's a small company and she seemed like she would take that kind of thing personally).

                      I just don't want to be unprofessional about it.

                        Follow it up for sure, and just say "I just wanted to make sure I had a chance to tell you in person" - it's what I've done everytime and they always seem to appreciate it

                          Why are you expecting to hear from her? If I was her, I probably wouldn't bother calling you back, what would I have to say? As you say, you've explained everything in the voicemail - what more is there to discuss?

                            I agree, I'd say there is a decent chance that she would call back, but a very good one that she won't at all.

                              Trying to figure out just why he's asking this...He says he wants to be convenient...by spending more time and effort trying to find one that will install without the need to install drivers...and therefore wasting more time than he'd ever save, and being less convenient and efficient...

                              Or is that just me..?

                                Thanks guys. I was just trying to avoid Monday getting here and getting a call from them asking where I am.
