Another day mostly devoured by the activity of computer hacking. I managed to get MPlayer to play the BBC's RealAudio streams (thanks, Joël), so I'll finally be able to get a daily dose of exposure to correct English. I recompiled the Lizard so my non-breaking spaces now work again; but the developers refuse to incorporate the patch in the official source (see the Bugzilla discussion for more details). I discovered the wonders of Unix ACLs, which are even available under Linux now, and which help mitigate the standard Unix permissions' lack of expressivity.
