| | | | | Raspberry Pis are great little computers. Wonderful for running hobby services. But, whenever I start a new RPi project, I dislike needing to dig out my spare HDMI monitor and USB keyboard.

| | | Well, it's been a wild few years since I last wrote about where I was in my career (here, if you're interested).
