Some of the Firefly server how-tos included how to get to your home iTunes collection from anywhere on the internet. How freaking cool is that? Static IPs for all!
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Polter-Cow - you watch Skins?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I noted that, and was disproportionately smug.

amych, did you get Firefly set up over the weekend?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I did. I had some issues that weren't actually related to Firefly but to Stupid Unix Fuckup #412 (vfat volumes need umask to get write/execute permissions. A fact which I should bloody well know because I've stomped the exact same thing at least twice before...) But since that got sorted, everything's been smooth.
Current setup is: Household library on a big fat hard drive on the upstairs box, which is attached to the crazy home theatre madness. Listening to said tunes as a shared library on my laptop's iTunes.

And you both synch to the upstairs box, right?
Cool.

Our wings are not tired
I really need to update the home network here, but I'm not sure I have the energy to do it. We've got 2 wireless systems and a Gigabit backbone, but there are so many devices on things that it just makes my head hurt thinking about streamlining it. I've just been adding things as needed since we moved in. I'd really like to centralize the iTunes stuff, but then I need to automate syncing it to a bus powered portable drive as well, so that I can have it with me when I travel.

Yep. We consolidated all our music files after way too long of trying to track which things we had on this box or that one (or -- *shudder* -- both), and for us that was the impetus for figuring out the house-wide sharing.
BTW, I think I mentioned the other day that 6G pods were rumored not to play with Linux, but of course that was cracked as soon as they came out -- any jukebox software that works with libgpod should be able to handle synching (which includes the Linux biggies like rhythmbox, amarok, and exaile).
