+I'm in San Francisco, having recently returned from [Rails World in Toronto](/fragments/rails-world-2024), which was a lot of fun. Beyond that:
+
+* I finished a massive access control refactor that builds out a more flexible RBAC (role-based access control) system for Bridge. It doesn't sound much, but the roots of ACL run deep, and it ended up touching every important file in project, in the end taking me multiple months to fully complete.
+
+* Next up is a billing system for metered storage use. Harder than it sounds on the face because you're not just tracking storage, but _storage over time_. If someone stores 10 TB for most of the month but deletes every last byte before invoicing day, they should still be charged for about 10 TB. If someone spikes up to 10 TB for only a single day before deleting it all, they should be charged far less. Rather than charging per GB, you're really charging per GB-hour.
+
+* I'm trying, and mostly failing, to update this site more consistently. The notification came in to update this page on Oct 1st, and yet, *sigh*, I'm doing it on the 19th.
