Firefly: Streaming to iTunes with DAAP
Make blog recently posted about how to run an iTunes DAAP server in Linux with Firefly. Firefly (né mt-daapd) provides an open-source digital audio server that supports iTunes-compatible streaming. With it, you can stream your media from a Linux platform to any other computer that's running iTunes. Best of all, it transcodes in real time. This allows you to stream file formats not normally supported by iTunes, such as OGG and FLAC. Full disclosure: I occasionally write for Make.
3D model of a real handheld
Done in Maya by flickr user ageofinnosense, with some added images from Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, it's really an uncanny model of a real DS Lite (his bills are paid with those kind of skills!). Created for his DAAP class, the above model shows that gamers with a passion can never let it go, no matter what the scenario. We commend his love for the system we catch ourselves fondling, in a most creepy way, on a daily basis.
