The past week has been a mostly frustrating one for this novice linux user. I want to do a very simple thing–have the Raspberry Pi launch the music application PD when it boots up. I’ve found about four different ways to do this, and they all involve either writing a short script or changing an existing script. So far, none of them have panned out. Two excursions into this territory have resulted in the need to re-load the operating system and start from scratch. From what I can tell, this is standard procedure.

In other news, we have more or less settled on four three-legged structures for the installation. Below is Kelly’s drawing.
