An Unofficial Raspberry Pi Blog: How to Setup Remote Desktop from a Windows Machine to your Raspberry Pi - Step by Step Guide
As I mentioned in the previous post I recently found the need to be able to remote desktop to my Raspberry Pi. This is a step by step guide on how to set it up. What does this guide help me do? It will let you control your Raspberry Pi from another machine. Meaning that the Raspberry Pi will not need to be connected to a monitor, keyboard or mouse. Before we get started a few clarifications: This guide is to set up remote desktop from another computer on your home network to your Raspberry Pi. What do I need before I get started? A Raspberry Pi running the latest Raspbian “wheezy” image (at time of writing 2012-09-18-wheezy-raspbian.zip). The Steps Raspberry Pi Setup So first we need to install some software on the Raspberry Pi, but don't worry it is very easy! Start up your Pi to the terminal prompt.

Hacking a Raspberry Pi into a wireless airplay speaker
The raspberry pi is fully functional credit card-sized computer that is cheap enough ($25) that it can be used just for a single purpose. With this hack the computer imitates an airplay speaker, making it possible to send songs over to an old stereo wirelessly from your phone. The Raspberry Pi generated massive hype in nerdy circles this summer when it came out and we’re beginning now to see some amazing hacks from this tiny computer now. I’ve had mine for a few months now but I hadn’t got around to using it yet. So I’ve now decided to try to make something that I’ve wanted for a while: a product to bring my good but dated speaker system into the 21st century by enabling wireless streaming of music to it. A possible way to do this would be to buy an Airport Express or an Apple TV and connect the audio out to the stereo. How to fake airplay compataility To get a Raspberry Pi looking like an airplay receiver I made use of Shairport. Raspberry Pi SD card (2GB is plenty for this) Wifi check
Easily connect Raspberry Pi to Gmail, Facebook, Twitter & more!
Easily connect your Raspberry Pi to web services and social networks! This tutorial demonstrates how to painlessly send and receive Gmail on the Raspberry Pi from Python, which in turn, allows you to easily connect it to web services and social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and more! This would normally be well beyond the abilities of most users due to the inherent complexities of programming through social media APis, client/server authentication, etc. How does this work? If you are not yet aware, ifttt is a great tool to simplify interaction with many social networks and other web services. Getting Started The tutorial uses the most recent Raspbian wheezy image, (2012-08-16-wheezy-raspbian)but should largely generalize for not only other Raspberry Pi distributions, but most other linux distributions as well (especially those derived from Debian, such as Ubuntu and Mint). Account Setup Install Packages sudo apt-get install python-pip python2.7-dev sudo easy_install -U distribute
