* '''February 2014''' - Proper Airplay (with screen mirroring) and Chromecast were installed. An IR receiver and LED was hooked up in order to be able to control the projector remotely. A splitter was attached to the audio line to allow for playback from both MPD and the projector without switching.
* '''March 2014''' - Synergy and Picast removed due to poor performance. A DLNA/UPnP receiver was set up on the Pi to allow streaming media from devices such as Android phones & tablets. A Pulseaudio sink was also installed. We experimented with an external DSP to amplify sound, however this didn't work. Reverse VNC now runs on startup so there is no need to run script each time.
* '''April/May 2014''' - Extensive attempts to get the IR controller to work, but it doesn't work due to incompatible mosfets (they require minimum 4.5v and Pi has 3.3v output).
* '''June 2014''' - Set up Last.fm scrobbler. Reinstalled Shairplay as default client for Airplay seeing as rPlay works very intermittently - there are now two Airplay clients, one for Audio (works well *knock on wood*), one for video. Banging head against wall with pulseaudio buffer.
