<p>
The <a href='http://www.rubycentral.com/articles/drb.html'>DRb</a> fun continues!  I added a <a href='http://www.paulduncan.org/playing/'>What's Playing</a> page to <a href='http://www.paulduncan.org/'>Paul Duncan.org</a> which bounces via <abbr title='Distributed Ruby'>DRb</abbr> from <a href='http://kylie.pablotron.org/'>kylie</a> (the web server) to <a href='http://www.xmms.org/'><acronym title='X MultiMedia System'>XMMS</acronym></a> running on <code>picard</code> (my workstation).

<img src='/gallery/misc/whats_playing.png' width='450' height='124' title="what's playing" alt="what's playing" />
</p>

I discussed the <abbr title='Distributed Ruby'>DRb</abbr> configuration <a href='/?cid=1194'>in a previous post</a>.  The bounce through <code>xor</code> is just a source-specific <abbr title='Destination Network Address Translation'>DNAT</abbr>.
