<p>Again, work is dragging, so not much to update.</p>
<p>I have install btsync and I am now syncing home dirs between the laptop, desktop, and the FreeNAS.</p>
<p>My attempt to build a custom kernel to deal with the new WiFi was mixed. I was able to build the kernel and world just fine and it made a USB image for me. But, it would not boot...I do need to figure out how to debug this. :)</p>

<p>AKA Fight with Thunderbird and Lightning.</p>
<p>I broke down and installed a PBI for now. I could not get Lightning, the calendaring AddOn for Thunderbird to work using the native FreeBSD pkg or the linux-thunderbird one. The linux-thunderbird package actually refused to start for me. I need to go figure out how to generate a PR.</p>
<p>The other thing I am playing with is building a memstick image after patching the kernel using this <a href="https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=35467">post</a> in the FreeBSD Forums. This is for the <strong>Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 WiFi Driver</strong> which I have in all my laptops. The data wants to be free! from wires. Since it is chunking away, I will test tomorrow.</p>

<p>Sorry...busy time at work and with the family.</p>
<p>Small updates: I have the external VGA dongle working. No config needed, just plug it in and it works. I really need to fix the WiFi so I can stop using the USB dongle on it. Also, I have updated mutt to 1.5.23, and that upgrade went smoothly. Since I am not using the default build, it was a matter of <em>portsnap fetch &amp;&amp; portsnap update &amp;&amp; cd /usr/ports/mail/mutt &amp;&amp; pkg remove mutt &amp;&amp; make install clean</em> and all is good!</p>
<p>My biggest update is that I got AfterShotPro working! It as a simple as reading the pages in the <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html">manual</a>, and changing the path to bash in the launcher script, and all is good! I should really look into what it takes to make a port so when I set up the next few computers, I will not have to do this by hand again.</p>
<p>Next thing to figure out is how to get the sound to come out of my headphones instead of the the speakers. Since I did not have to do anything to get sound, I figure this is just a bit of RTFM'ing on my part.</p>

<p>No major work on the laptop today because I set up a FreeNAS box. I was able to get 4 x 3T drives, and set it up. Pretty easy. I am now busy moving my media over to it.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>I have also been playing with <strong>x11/xpra</strong> which bills itself as 'screen for X11'. That, combined with <strong><a href="https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle">sshuttle</a></strong>, lets me get in from work and do some work during lunch. It may also give me a tempory way to use <strong><a href="http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4670071&amp;cid=catalog20038&amp;segid=6000006">AfterShotPro</a></strong> until I get the whole Linux compatability layer thing figured out.</p>
<p>Next up is learing how to use <em>ports(7)</em> working to be able to install <strong>10-STABLE</strong> while the host is <strong>10-RELEASE</strong>.</p>
<p>Yes, my issues are not normal. :)</p>
