Does the EMTEC 8gb micro SD class 10 work with the Raspberry Pi B+? It sure does. I was skeptical after reading a few posts on which SD card would be suitable. I’ve added my contribution to this page: http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards. Understanding the class was something new. The official SD site gives a good overview. Note… Read More »
You can probably guess! I purchased a Raspberry Pi B+ yesterday through RS Components in New Zealand and was very impressed with the speed of delivery. It took a few days to research up on Pi devices and I finally placed the order at 12pm on Friday. The order was sorted at 3pm and I… Read More »

If you are integrating with XERO, then the Xero API previewer is a fantastic tool to quickly check query formats, data formats and data values as well. It returns real data from the account you logged in as and you can even copy and paste the results handraulically into another system for processing. The only… Read More »
I was having a look at a Zapier and tried one out. I choose Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar because I am not an Outlook fan but I have to use it for work. I use IMAP to get my work emails and as a result, forgo the calendar sync. It works pretty well and… Read More »
