Copenicus, do you have any experience building LIRC blasters?
I was looking at building Petteri Aimonens circuit on a standalone GPIO device.
Then using listen/connect on lircd to send commands from Pierogi. This will mean I can send commands over Wifi instead of being limited to 3 meters from my TV and aiming.

Interesting
I am testing this IR repeater at the moment.
My idea was to put it halfway in the room, but unfortunately it's not working for two reasons.
1) In the middle of the room the TV seems to detect both the N900 and the repeater causing confusion, not tried with the IR lead from the schematic.
2) I couldn't get hold of any IR photodiodes that were resistance to white light so it fails with any light (including the light from the TV)
Not had time to play since.

I have the hardware part hopefully, a Raspberry Pi (Sony UK version) with more GPIO options. I was just wondering if it were just a case of using the --listen, --connect option on the appropriate LIRC daemon. I have no idea if those options are what I think they are but from the man page they seem to be what I need to make connecting Pierogi to my Raspberry Pi transparent.
