Despite my previous answer and your sarcastic comment, I have to say I actually agree with you, specially if you are going to work together (IMO working in the same company but different jobs/departments, could still work).

It is what I did.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Nice!
In the US we say: "Don't fish from the company pier."

Sometimes a guy bets everything on his lucky number and gets away with it. Most of the time that does not happen. Unromantic little me always lets others try their luck and then pays attention to how things turn out.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Perfect. If it had been me, that would have been the reaction I had hoped for. Lowest potential for serious drama afterwards.

Just oblivious.
Like I was, while a coworker was apparently dropping hints left and right for over a year before she decided to stop with the hinting and just come right out and say she wanted me.
I was like What? Really?

Reminds me of a story I heard form a friend where a friend of his and girlfriend were on a romantic weekend in the Welsh hills.
They were sitting out one evening looking at the sunset over a hill and she says to him, "What are you thinking about?" to which he replies "I am wondering if a well aimed howitzer could blow off the top of that hill"
I guess some men just have different interests to their girlfriends.

I don't think we ever met and I certainly never went to any Welsh hills, but that could have been me, including the honesty.

Ah!
Yeh, there are so many nowadays.
I still have the Parallella cluster. And other than the initial run, not done anything with it yet, then having done that python article last week, I thought I would maybe see if I can further extend to distributed remote processes.
That board has 2 arm cores and 16 epiphany risc cores, and I have 4 of the boards in the cluster.
I suppose it depends what you are trying to do with them, and how much external direct io connectivity you need, or is it predominantly software/processing capability.

Arduino: Huge following, lots of widgets, program is C-like. Kind of basic but very powerful and expandable with shields. Grandson and I built a robot with one.
Pi: Huge following, Linux and MS Windows (headless) with VS, lots of widgets, C#, Python, WiFi, BT, etc on board, more storage
Netduino: Arduino like, seemed to have MSFT backing, could use VS and debugger, lots of stuff planned but not delivered. Original owner seems to have skipped town and new owner trying to pick up pieces, doesn't seem probable.
Beaglebone: Similar to Pi, smaller following and support. Linux, nice, I prototyped a kiln controller with one.
Many more.
I would start with the Pi: $35. Then add more stuff: $128,000 Euro.
