I was planning to blog about my progress soon. There was quite some code to 
write to get to a point where I can actually demonstrate something that works. 
At the moment I can basically access a published Plasma::Service over the 
network. Requests are signed, authorized against a set of rules, and depending 
on the result of this authorization, executed. There's still a quite 
persistent crash I'm stuggling to fix which causes it to only work if an 
authorization rule is made that allows everybody access to the service I want 
to access. Actual validation of the signature is skipped in that case, 
avoiding the very mysterious crash. But once I found out what causes that 
crash (not easy, it's one of those mysterious crashes that seems to come out 
of nowhere), I should be able to make a small screencast showing that I can 
play/pause/seek amarok from a virtual machine by accessing the nowplaying 
plasma service, where the host machine shows a nice knotification asking 
permission. Stay tuned!
