CV updated

I’ve found time and updated the cv of mine. You can find it in the pages section of the menu placed at the left side of this page. Do not know if I’ll need it soon :), but now you can read something about me in a kind of “concentrated” form. Feel free to give the comments about it. Nothing is perfect. It seams the the next version of the CV will be made with xml / xslt / xsl-fo / FOP, or something else xml-based. Cause it is really an interesting task and I’ve been just looking for the sample to have a chance to play with all this XML stuff. I need one source of information, several languages and a lot of output formats.

It took about 15 minutes to make it possible to look through the forward and side windows:

After this I could start a way to the working place. It was not so bad as yesterday. Tight, but not critical

UPDATE: It is snowing again.
