// A short snippet for detecting versions of IE in JavaScript
// without resorting to user-agent sniffing
// ----------------------------------------------------------
// If you're not in IE (or IE version is less than 5) then:
// ie === undefined
// If you're in IE (>=5) then you can determine which version:
// ie === 7; // IE7
// Thus, to detect IE:
// if (ie) {}

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

How to Kiosk Raspberry Pi
Software for the Project:
Raspbian Wheezy Debian Linux
Win32Disk Imager
The CanaKit comes with a pre-loaded SD card that includes the same version of Debian Wheezy that I used for this project. However, in an effort to get a little more speed out of the system, I used the 95MB/s Sandisk extreme listed above. It seemed to help, but I did not bench mark it beyond observation.
Anyway, lets get down to building a Raspberry Pi Web Kiosk.
Step 0: Get all of the hardware.
Step 1: Get all of the software.

Purpose of this script is to monitor HDMI state on my Raspberry PI and start XBMC / Kodi when output is plugged in and terminate it when it is unplugged. It is tested with Raspbian distribution and XBMC / Kodi compiled from git.
