It's good to have you here.  :)  I've been curious about Enthral myself but
haven't tried it yet.

I do software development & testing professionally and occasionally work on
various things in my free time when I have the motivation to do it..  Lately
I've mostly worked on Synchronet mods (since I use Synchronet for my BBS), but
occasionally I like to mess around with other projects if I have an idea I want
to work on.  Several years ago, I had an idea for sending live MIDI signals
(for music) over a network and created a program to do that - but as I
suspected, network latency caused the MIDI signals not to all play back at the
same rate they were played from the source machine..  That was still a cool
little project to work on though.  Another thing I worked on several years ago
was a C# WAV file class, which would let you read & write WAV files from C#
code, as well as a little app using that class which could mix multiple WAV
files together (such as for a musician to record multiple tracks and mix them
all into a single .WAV file):
http://bit.ly/1haWTfd
That was based on an earlier project I did in C++ to allow someone to record
different audio tracks and mix them together.  My C# app didn't record though,
it just did the mixing.

Occasionally I've thought about what it would be like to create my own BBS
software or programming language, but then I think there are already many
available, and I'm not sure what I'd do to make one unique or improve on what's
already available.
