Your mailbox is full so I'll just copy the message I was going to send you here:
Wow, I'm surprised it's just you!
I have a bit of experience with Linux and currently hold the title of "Linux System Operator" at work... I hope to be a Jr. Sys Admin in a few years. If you need anything that I might be able to help with just let me know, I'd be more the happy to help out.
I've still had no issues with using this with my xbmcbuntu set up, I'm actually running out of keys to use on my remote. I've also introduced the FLIRC to a few friends and I want another one for a different room so I'm going to be ordering a total of 4.
Cheers!
