OS, start-up, and setup

So, went and bought an 8G SD card yesterday because I can not, for the life of me, find my case of SD cards.  This card will hold about 3G of OS and things and the rest will be the hard drive for the RPi.

For the Operating System for the RPi, I will be using a Debian distribution made specifically for the RPi:  Raspbian.  I've put this on the SD card already so now I only have to plug it in and start with the setup.  Of course, it would help if I had brought the power source for the RPi to school with me.

I am on the lookout right now for a site that will host my weather reporting.  I have found a few that look promising.  This one deserves more looking into as does this one.  Wunderground lets you upload your own data, it seems, without have the requirement of having a certain type of pre-made weather station.  So, I am leaning that way.

Breaking for now, and will finish this when I get home in an hour...

Got home and didn't do a thing.  now, its after midnight.  Wife got home from sorority and went to lock up the chickens.  Came back in yelling for me to get my shoes on and get out there.  Something got 4 of them.  Bodies still worm.  Moving.  I had to grab 2 of em and swing em by the neck to finish them.  They wouldn't have made it anyway.   Now sure what would kill them around here and jsut leave them.  They weren't even eaten at all. 

So, I might be missing a day or 2.  Just because I can.  And because I'm kinda pissed at whatever killed em.
