I never thought much of these flashmobs. But admittedly have never seen one in reality, so maybe they are a lot of fun. ;-) Still I'm fine that this hype has pretty much died. I havn't heard of them for years.

I've just come across these pictures of a flashmob in japan in 2003 - where people dressed up as Agent Smith from Matrix.

This one seems pretty cool, albeit many of the pictures are "group shots", and there are way to many people taking photographs on the photographs. The (staged) fights however add a nice note to it. And on overall it's much more of a "collective show", instead of just people doing random stupid things such as rushing all into one shop and going up and down the stairs.

The idea is way cool. People wearing a dark tuxedo, then suddenly pulling out dark sunglasses and an earplug and run off to hunt someone at a special place... that must be so funny to see when you've seen the movie. I wish I were there to give some first-hand impressions.

I've been writing SELinux policy these days. Again. This time for the Reference Policy.

I didn't get any feedback back yet for my policy, which is quite disappointing. Still the number of violations on my systems has gone down a lot, so I might actually be able to run strict some time soon. Which would be a major step. Unfortunately, I still have a couple of things to sort out with the utilities. And every now and then there is a new violation - monthly cronjobs for example are not that easy to observe without playing around. ;-)

The Debian/Ubuntu packaging group is growing, and that means it's bigger than the "pretty much nonexistant" it was just a short time ago.

Recent policy files I've written (which of course still contain bugs): dpkg, apt, tor, amavis, clamav.
