Sure - developers can access services that are cheaper than this. Outside of HN developers are a minority though and tools like Dropbox took a tech that was available to techies and brought it to the masses.

Some pointless comments here kicking a person while they are (or their server is) down - I'll never understand that mentality

Congratulations on the launch

Thanks! We really appreciate your comment.

More info will be coming soon - however if you do sign up you get some links to more information ;-)

Neil's not on a great connection so Dropbox was a bit slow to update

This is a custom theme called: five3 Personally I really like it too

I just love the fact that the Raspberry Pi isn't about money at this stage - it's a philanthropic initiative designed to help the world progress. Ultimately it gives computer access to far more people who will benefit economically in the long run

We can't all be rich, there aren't enough resources. We can all be moderately well off IMO (but we have to address population with vigour) and the rich dont want to stop being privileged.

Great comment - such experimentation is what creates the best tech and giving kids the ability to try ideas in their head is invaluable

Thanks - I did that quick

Sorry - but I just used a pre-built theme - because if I didn't do that then I would never get time to actually write any blog posts as my own site takes a very low priority for coding time! Saying that I do like this theme and think the dev did a good job. I have removed that overflow hidden on the body - thanks for the suggestion - so let's hope it's readable now

for what it's worth, I found the parallax effect on the background image rather annoying.

Every time I scrolled every single visual reference point of where I was reading changed.

Yes - I read your work in January and it invaded my consciousness. Sorry if I have regurgitated anything but this message needs to be spread!

No need to apologize at all! Let's hope it comes true (and let's hope I can get my hands on a Raspberry Pi one day :-)

Yeah it's a reference to this wonderful song ;-)

Imagine my disappointment when I got this response:

"Searching:\> Sorry I couldn't find anything for 'Lionel Richie'. Try again."

Opportunity for an easter egg?

I tried 'Lionel' which took me to 'Lionel Rudaz'.

You guys are funny ;-)
