Just a quick update.  Yesterday, I got abook working.  Kind of a hack, though.  I used gcc to compile it, vs. clang.  I will have to revisit this and offer up some patches to the abook project.

I have also been playing with **x11/xpra** which bills itself as 'screen for X11'.  That, combined with `sshuttle <https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle>`_ , lets me get in from work and do some work during lunch.  It may also give me a tempory way to use `AfterShotPro <http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4670071&amp;cid=catalog20038&amp;segid=6000006>`_ until I get the whole Linux compatability layer thing figured out.

Next up is learing how to use *ports(7)* working to be able to install **10-STABLE** while the host is **10-RELEASE**.

Yes, my issues are not normal. :)
