About the Author

Stefan Sjogelid grew up in 1980s Sweden, getting hooked on 8-bit consoles, Amigas and BBSes. With a background in system and network administration, he packed his bags for Southeast Asia and continued to work in IT for many years, before love and a magic 8-ball told him to seek new opportunities in the North American continent.

The Raspberry Pi is the latest gadget to grab Stefan's attention, and after much tinkering and learning a great deal about the unique properties of the Pi, he launched the "PiLFS" (http://www.intestinate.com/pilfs) website, which teaches readers how to build their own GNU/Linux distribution and applications that are particularly useful on the Raspberry Pi.

I'd like to thank Anton for putting up with my "alt-tabbing" during our movie marathons, and a special thanks to my brother for showing me Southeast Asia, and my parents, for buying me a PC instead of a moped.

"We are in the exciting stage that everyone, whether a scientist or not, can contribute"(Santa Fe Institute, 1984).

He currently works as an independent consultant for major French companies working in the sectors of telecom, banking, press publishing, insurance, defense, and administration.

My thanks go to Stefan, for including me in this book, and the scientist pioneers Stephen Wolfram and Karl Sims.

Preface

The Raspberry Pi was developed with the intention of promoting basic computer science in schools, but the Pi also represents a welcome return to simple, fun, and open computing.

Using gadgets for purposes other than those intended, especially for mischief and pranks, has always been an important part of adopting a new technology and making it your own.

With a $25 Raspberry Pi computer and a few common USB gadgets, anyone can afford to become a secret agent.
