How is git commit sha1 formed

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.

Setting ACL on OS X

I have two user accounts set up on my mac. User drew I use for most things, but if I'm making a screencast I'll switch to the demo user. I know that the demo user has a clean desktop, and the font size is larger than usual in my terminal and text editors, making everything a bit more legible when capturing the screen. When I record a screencast as the demo user, I save the file to /Users/Shared/screencasts. As I understand it, the /Users/Shared directory is supposed to be accessible to all user accounts on the mac. If I created and saved a screenflow document as the demo user, I should be able to read and write that file when logged in as user drew.

That was the theory, but it didn't always work out that well in practice. I would occasionally find that a directory was only writable by one user or the other. Perhaps I'd open a screenflow document as user drew and attempt to export the video to the same directory, only to find that the directory was owned by demo, meaning that I couldn't cr
