Command lines & Raspberry Pis

First time ever working with command lines, shell scripts and the Raspberry Pi.
First bash script (using python scripts, ffmpeg, melt, spell and speak)
Experiment with interaction in scripts

espeak -w audio.wav -p 70 "I am dead inside"

sox audio.wav audio2.wav speed 0.7

sox audio2.wav -b 8 -e unsigned-integer -c 1 -r 4000 -t raw rawfile

rm frame*.jpg

python lip-sync.py

ffmpeg -r 10 -i frame%09d.jpg -i audio2.wav -y mymovie1.mp4

espeak "Hi, What is your name?"
echo "What is your name?"
read content

espeak -z "Nice to meet you"
echo $content | espeak 

espeak  "What’s your favorite color?"
echo "What’s your favorite color"
read content

espeak -z "Oh my god. I love the color"
echo $content | espeak

Better understanding of networks, servers & programming languages, setting up public websites on the Pi.
How to use Git repositories.

Wiki-wiki

Learnt how to use media-wiki as a writing and reading platform
Opportunities & challenges in using Semantic Media wiki: how the use of metadata, properties, values and forms can be useful in creating meaning, but also limiting in other ways
Wiki skinning with Manetta, my background in web design was helpful in this
Pipelines that use wikis as a source / step / destination

Going forward

Would love to push my technical skills in the next trimester. This means more coding, python, publishing on different servers, research on networks, but also experiments with hardware.
Algorithmic curation & generative content is a growing interest for me
Also: In a publication, where is the border between reader & writer? Wikis are all about collaborative content; they are also 'platforms with attitudes'. How does software influence behaviour? Politics of 'seamlessness'?
In terms of book scanners > to control the rules and not the output
