CISSP
Payment for my CISSP exam attempt at December has been confirmed by boss.
So at the monday I'll try to register. Hope a seat is available =)

I read chapter 4 ('Cryptography') of 'CISSP Prep Guide'.
I can eat about 1 chapter per day from this book, therefore it will be closed in a week.
It's old and outdated quick-brief-review-like thingy I bought about 5 years ago, so I doubt it covers modern version of exam content.

Next I'm going to read Sybex 'CISSP Study Guide'.

In the mailbox I found an invitation to special meeting for 'e-Russia' government program. "Using of open source in the state organisations" or so. I introduce russian GNOME for this kind of events.

May be I need to collect some facts on the topic 'Open Source and Government/State relations' for some european countries, because there is a similar agenda item.

fonts
Today I overlooked some free Abkhasian fonts.

Unfortunatelly (? ;-) all of them are TTF, so it's hard to quickly decide how good/bad them are. Most likely ttf instructions were generated automagically, so I safely can suggest that outlines of glyphs aren't perfect.

As I can see there is a little difference between a "latin + russian" and "abkhasian" font. Abkhasian one uses some glyphs that are close to latin/cyrillic and can be simply made by modification of suitable glyphs. So it's possible to cover abkhasians by simple extention of the gnu-gs (aka URW) fonts.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
