Wow! Has it really been a month? I must be busy or something - imagine that.

So a lot has happened in the past month, most of it being IRL things that I don’t talk about here. (That’s why God made Facebook.) But a few things have happened in my online and computer life as well.

The biggest and best thing: I got new speakers! The third X-540 set came in last week and it works great. I’ve been a lot more careful about turning this set off before playing with cables or rebooting my system, something that I’ve never had to do with other speakers. It’s a pain in the behind, but luckily Nighthawk doesn’t undergo reboots that often anymore. They actually sound pretty good for $120 speakers, so assuming they keep working for a few years I would consider them a good buy. Can’t really make an accurate judgment yet though.

A bit has gone into Enano as well. I’m working on several major feature additions to the ACL system, primarily tools for debugging existing rules. There’s a new API for calculating “effective permissions” and seeing where they are inherited from, and there will be a UI for it in 1.1.4. At this point I don’t know when 1.1.4 will get pushed out, but being an alpha it will not need to undergo a lot of testing, so I can release it when I feel that all the features I keep meaning to add are added.

I did a couple of things IRL too, namely a visit to the Albuquerque area where I have a bit of family. I did a lot of hiking around; the first day up on Sandia Peak I was pelted with snow and sleet. Pretty extreme for the Southwest, eh? I also visited Sky City and a couple of other nearby places.

Guess that’s about it, but I’ll hopefully be posting more regularly again.
