Hello again, it's Tony Hughes for HBR Radio. This is my second podcast for HBR and at the end of my last one I said I'd probably do another one about what's in my bag.
|
|
It's a bit difficult because I have several bags. I don't have one of these fancy rucksack things that several of my geeky mates have but I have several different computer bags that I use for various different things.
|
|
So I'm going to talk about what I have geekwise which will appear in my bag at various different times.
|
|
To start off with, I carry around a Lenovo X201 Core i5 dual core computer with hyper threading.
|
|
This is quite a nice second hand laptop that I picked up off eBay a couple of years ago.
|
|
Previously my laptops have been obtained from a computer auction locally but this particular one wasn't available at the computer auction so I managed to get hold of one on eBay for a very reasonable price at the time.
|
|
Also have a Lenovo X200 tablet which is the laptop with the swivel screen which is a touchscreen and can be used with a pen which is quite nice and I keep this as a backup machine.
|
|
I added to that I have a number of Lenovo X61s which again I picked up at the computer auction. These are smaller 4B3 form 12 inch laptops.
|
|
So they're not widescreen but they're core 2GiOS 1.6s and they're quite powerful little machines and by standard you can put in up to four gigabytes of RAM but I believe there is a hack around and you can increase this to 8 gig.
|
|
So for little computers for using as netbooks these are very good machines. Like I said I've got three of them, one of which I've put a new battery in and I plan at some stage to put an SSD in and it serves me quite well.
|
|
Other things I carry around with me are related to Raspberry Pi. I have several Raspberry Pi so I was one of the people who got the original 256 model B and I still have that but it doesn't seem much easier these days.
|
|
I've now got a couple of Raspberry Pi 2s and a Raspberry Pi 3 and I've also got a B plus that is knocking around in me bag as well.
|
|
I use these when we're attending Raspberry Jam and for testing them I've got a Motorola Laptop which I've got the cables for now and I use this to hook up the Raspberry Pi to test SD cards etc.
|
|
To go along with the Raspberry Pi's I usually carry around several micro SD cards with various Raspberry Pi distros on them.
|
|
I've currently got the latest Raspberry and open source media centre and a Ubuntu mate for Raspberry Pi on SD cards but I also have SD card writers on the Laptop so that if needed,
|
|
I can always copy another image to a card if we need to at the club or at Raspberry Jam at any time.
|
|
As well as Raspberry Pi related paraphernalia, I also usually carry one of my external hard drives.
|
|
I've got my passport 500 gig one that I usually have in me bag and that has all sorts of different things on it but particularly it has a number of Linux and Raspberry Pi ISOs or images on it that I can access when needed so that's quite an essential part of the tool bag.
|
|
Well that's about it for this episode. Hope you found it interesting and I hope to be back soon. Thanks very much.
