Nice one. To be honest, I have not been too interested in the
Raspberry Pi, until I watched Eben Upton on Triangulation:
http://twit.tv/show/triangulation/61 -- I am now considering
purchasing one, so it would be great to take a look at yours.

If I can untangle the spaghetti beneath my desk, I will gladly bring
along an old monitor, keyboard and mouse :)

You've probably already got it, but I would love to see
http://www.raspbian.org/ in action.

Anyhow, looking forward to meeting you. Have a safe trip and see you tomorrow.
