Raspberry Pi Geek 04

This issue rolls out a whole round of inspiring Pi projects for the hobbyist, child, and engineer in all of us. Want to know how to power your Raspberry Pi on a desert island? Our lead story describes some techniques for sizing a wind turbine.
We also explore RISC OS, an operating system designed for ARM processors that is gaining new attention with the rise of the Raspberry Pi. We show you how to set up your Pi as a backup device for Apple Time Machine clients, and we look at some tricks for using Rasp Pi on a wireless network. Other articles describe how to set up a homegrown spy cam, use your Pi for instant messaging, and install a web-ready LAMP stack. We also keep up our tradition of including a cool Arduino project (in this case, a temperature sensor with Arduino’s new Yún board), and we cover some basic skills for Pi newbies, including Linux file management and more Scratch programming.
