Sites I came across to help me on my Quest


Still awaiting the arrival of the Raspberry Pi, I am still researching and brainstorming on what I can do with it.

I came across a good site, Magna Techa and very interesting list of things to do with a Pi.

"Things I Do With my Raspberry Pi" by Magna Techa

As of August 25th, 2013, there were 9 solid ideas of how to use a Raspberry Pi.  One was to make the Pi a network attached storage device (NAS).  Another good project was to make the Pi a warning device for your important websites if they were to go down.  The Pi would access a list of sites at regular intervals and would email a summary to you detailing their status.

The most interesting idea that was brought up on this blog post, was making the Pi a host for a website or two.  On Magna Techa, they bring up even putting wordpress on the Raspberry Pi.  Using not even $50 of electronics to make a website host is really interesting proposition.
