I enjoy cooking, which my wife thinks is great. I like browsing through the cookbooks at the bookstore, and have more than once bought a book because I had started salivating over the pictures (usually because I went there on an empty stomach). I didn't make up the term, but I like to call nice pictures of food that make you want to eat it "food porn".

This is a cry for help, not a HOWTO. Here's what I want to do:
- My Windows PC runs iTunes with my library on it
- My Powerbook can connect to the shared library and play music from it
- I want my media box (running Linux) next to the TV to act as like an "Airport Express" so I can use it as a "remote speaker" from the Powerbook
I can find plenty of references to hosting a shared iTunes library on Linux (eg. daapd), or even software that can talk to a shared iTunes library (eg. Rhythmbox), but seemingly nothing that will let Linux pretend to be an Airport Express.
Yes there are things I could do like run rhythmbox on the linux box and remote control it from the Powerbook, but I don't want to do that. I want my Powerbook to be the source, streaming the music to the media box which is acting as a remote speaker.
If I work it out, I'll write it up!

Where I work there is a single Christmas Party each year for all the Sydney staff (about 1,000 of them), rather than each department having their own party. The venue and "theme" are usually kept secret until a Flash based invite goes out to all staff via our Intranet, whose purpose is to reveal both and provide a way to RSVP. This invite is usually done by the company we use for all of our web graphics work, however this year I was asked if I wanted to give it a go.
