Some good new up front:
I'm down to around 10 audit errors on booting my amd64 system in targeted
policy. To achieve this I did some
small changes
to the udev init script, and some larger policy modifications (mostly
treating /dev/.static/dev the same way as /dev) (see webSVN changes view).
The bad news:
I'm halting my SELinux development.
I'm moving into a new room today, and the box I've recently been using SELinux on is staying with my dad. After all we bought it for him to surf. So I don't have any computer to run SELinux on (my 4+ years old laptop is way to packed already). And that means I can't seriously work on SELinux much anymore.
Sorry. It sucks to stop tweaking it right before it's done, but I can't do much about it.
[Update: It's not just about the hardware. The hardware is the reason why I can't do much at all, but as you may have seen in one of my previous blog entries, a couple of things in my life are changing right now. I have no idea how much spare time I'll have at my hands. I welcome the offers of sponsorship I've seen, but I can't accept them when I might end up not doing much more anyway. Sorry.]
metros from the world with wildy inaccurate logos I've not used:
Just kidding. I'm not going to participate in this stupid thing. I'll just rant about it and annoy everbody just as much as you did. But I can still claim it's all your fault and feel superior. You lose, I win.
How about if you enjoy a motivational poster on deviantart instead? Thank you.
Today, I've been quite busy with "real life".
First of all, I retrieved keys for my new room (see below), and was busy half of the day with packing stuff.
Around noon, I had to go to a funeral. A friend of mine has died, most likely from cancer (maybe smoking-related, I don't know). He was very active for a NPO helping people with the internet. We'll really miss him there, too.
In the afternoon I packed more of my stuff together, bought some new things; then took a break to go dancing - I started taking a Balboa class today - and finally took most of my stuff to my new room. Until around midnight I was cleaning the room, fighting the "malfunctioning" doors of the huge wardrobe and moving stuff in. Tomorrow I'll probably spend my first night in the new room.
This is a shot of the new room. I don't have a wide angle lense, so that is the best I could do (I have the lens on my Amazon Wishlist, but it's horribly expensive...). It's the plain room, nothing of my stuff in there yet. The first thing I did was putting up some nice yellow curtains, to add some color. The flash makes some funny light effects with the mirrors of the wardrobe on this picture. ;-)
The room isn't huge, but it's well done. The bed fits in behind the door, a desk will fit next to the bed, and there is this huge wardrobe. The mirrors on it make the room appear larger and brighter. Now with some sunny colors this will be a room I can enjoy.
I'll probably post another picture when I've added some more color to the room. I have a couple of nice computer artworks printed out to hang to the walls. Oh, and the linux sourcecode poster. ;-) (No, I probably won't put that one up. It's mostly gray. It wouldn't match the room.
It will be interesting how my life will change the next months. I'll be doing a lot more dancing - I intend to join a Boogie sports club, learn Balboa and Boogie and train Lindy Hop - and since I'll be living closer to the city, I expect to go out more. And I hope the people I'll live with in that house are fun, so we'll be spending some time together. We have a pool table and a dart board in the living room, and a perfect spot for placing a projector.
Also since I've passed my final exams, I'll now focus on my final thesis. My topic is about semantic wikis [wikipedia.org], at my university and a research institute. The last months, I had been rather bored with university life; the thesis will likely set the course for the next few years of my life: research, entrepreneurship or just working at some larger company.
