My first project is to see if I can get the XO to talk to Air Tunes and stream music over 802.11.<br><br>It appears that the work has been done for the streaming to air tunes using a Mono App. <a href="http://www.last.fm/user/mischa/journal/2006/08/5/200156/">

<br>the bandwidth is of the server that supports chat -- there were only<br>about 10 or 15 people tops in my neighborhood yesterday. Next weekend<br>I'm going to try to get the audio to work in a VMware image.<br><br>
Incidentally, my areas of expertise are mostly in computer music<br>(CSound, for example), mathematical software (adult versions -- R, Blas,<br>LAPACK, Maxima, etc.) and Linux kernel performance tuning. Unfortunately<br>I have virtually no Python skills and negative Squeak skills -- I can
<br>actually lower the productivity of an accomplished Squeak programmer<br>just by being in the room with him or her. ;)<br><br>There used to be VMware images on the web somewhere, but in the rush<br>towards shipment, they seem to have been abandoned in favor of Qemu and
<br>jhbuild. If there's enough interest, I'll hack up an image (with a<br>slightly larger disk capacity than the standard ones -- it's so small<br>you can't install VMware Tools.)<br>_______________________________________________
