Nnngh, tired. I spent last night porting the firefly itunes server (mt-daapd) over to the drobo. It was a bit harder than I expected, but then again, I didn't really expect it to work right, and it does. Most of the effort was just getting all the third party libs compiled/installed for linux-arm, but there were a few old calls made by mt-daapd that weren't portable, so I had to substitute newer functions and comment out part of the configure script. I've got it running on my Drobo at home, and it appears to be working without any problems at all. Yay! Data Robotics was also offering a bounty for getting this ported providing no functionality was lost, so I'm looking forward to talking to them about this. :)

I received my 2 Drobo's + DroboShare in the mail on Friday, and I've been spending the weekend setting them up. So far, I am so in love. DroboApps sound pretty cool, and I'm about to start messing with them to see what I can do. Here's some randomness about the drobo.

I may have mentioned before that I'm working on a website for blog.freebsd.org. I've got some ideas for what to put on it, but as most of my readers are FreeBSD users, I'd like to know what would y'all like to see? Some ideas I've had so far are:
- Ongoing projects such as drivers that you normally have to dig down in Google to find some perforce repo with a status page that may or may not be up to date.
- Security advisories.
- New releases and details of all the changes being made - something a bit more in depth than the CHANGES file.
