I’ve always been interested in Raspberry Pi. I pre-ordered, waited for about 3+ months and even paid Customs (ridiculous amount) to import my very first Pi.

TL;DR: Yes, you can. If you are only interested in the steps skip to the relevant section.

I own a Raspberry Pi for closer to a year now. I was not able to use my Netgear N150 (WNA1100) dongle until last week with it, I was kind of lost my enthusiasm by this bitter experience and hold my experiments for long time. Other than installing some console emulators and XBMC in last 6 months, I have not done anything with my Raspberry Pi.  You can refer my adventures here and here.

I couldn’t help myself after listening to John & Marco discussion about the pricing of Panic’s new app Status Board.

I agree with the pricing of the app, who could deny John’s reasoning? With all due respect,  a dedicated iPad just to display a dashboard? sounds like diamond studded car. It is a overkill and I would argue you ruining the destiny of your iPad. It deserves more care than hiding behind your old TV/Monitor.
