sleepy golden eyes

Sometimes it feels like time is burning under my fingernails.

Phreak is kind of a cool chap. And his brother is the police or the secret service *g*.

I have met so many new people in my life, and i have lost contact to so many others. Maybe this is the reason i begin to think life is about changes and adopting to new situations is very important for me nowadays. I forgot how it feels not to love this woman i am spending my life with. I cannot even say what would be if i would not have met her. The only thing i can say is: i cannot find words for how much i miss her which would nearly qualify for expressing my emotions when i'm all alone and she's not here.

School is going on like it has always been: i know i should learn more but somehow i'm a lazy bastard and still think i can get along with it. And if not: then not. Life is more.

Work is fading out, finishing my time in August.

Normally people are supposed to sleep at 3am in the morning.

This week i started catching up with my Gentoo timeframe and looking at the realization plans for some of my favourite slacking projects again.

* new hardened-sources 2.4 version

* looking at hardened gcc and glibc status

* AT_ENTROPY for glibc SSP
** still have to write emails to kernel devs regarding the AT_ vector additions (dunno how to write it...)
** need to find out where to put the code for the initialization of SSP (external global variable at_entropy_ssp?)

* SSXP mockup for hardened toolchain
** need to put the code in TLS (who manages the memory numbers in TLS space?)
** amd64 demo code works
** need RTL fixes for x86 return address location calculation (and other 32 bit arches?)
** regression suite for benchmarking and SSXP code auditing
** rewrite documentation into a professional and beginners edition (latex source)
** write gentoo-ssxp.xml introduction for the hardened project

* devel-chroots improvements
** /var/lib/init.d/ initalization to make using /etc/init.d/ possible
** sshd (port offset) and sysklogd starting with chroot
** mounting of /proc and /dev/pts inside chroot
** screen sessions will only be started inside the chroots via connecting with ssh
** external screen session running from the host OS is a security risk

Altogether my plans for devel-chroots are to produce a complete development solution without putting the host operating system in danger (i.e. wrecking a glibc or a hardened gcc).

The solution covers virtually every aspect of Gentoo development, the only thing out of reach is low level kernel testing...

And by the way. Does anybody have a good idea how to get rid of flies shitting on my TFT screens? Those little bitches seem to love the plastic coating of my screens. Or is it just the lights...

Nevermind, trying to catch some sleep!

Have fun and enjoy,

Alex
