Elixir is new to me. The Raspberry Pi 2 less so - and I'm so impressed with it. Everything I used to get frustrated about with the Pi 1 has gone.<p>It's very satisfying to run such a solid system so cheaply. I haven't even overclocked it. To think its efficiency can be further improved is great news.<p>Ideas for my own Pi projects basically boil down to having persistent sessions and server functions. Nothing mind-blowing, but certainly, as I say, satisfying. It's the silence and low-power consumption of the thing that really clinches it for me.<p>Also had my first Minecraft programming session with my nephew recently. He was ready to leave half-way through to go watch TV when he saw a lake of diamond blocks appear. Then he sat back down. I've left it in his room (an old Pi 1) and I'm watching to see where he takes it.
