03/20/2006: "Good News Everyone"

I was delighted today at the prospect of attending the next GGF meeting I have been keen on attending it for sometime now, but for some reason I always had to postpone it. Several friends and colleagues will also be attending so it is a good opportunity to catch up. I'm in the final stages of the imlpementation of the XACML RBAC API so I will have something to contribute. Technical Report along with API and GUI (assuming there is not objection for the top) will be published here soon.

On other news, I decided to read Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulations just to prove a point. I am currently trying to find a Greek translation, but failing that I have an English copy to start on. Last week I finished Marquez's latest book (although 18months old now) which i found intriguing although i can't say with outmost conviction that I fully understood it. It was good catching up with several friends over the weekend that I hadn't spoken too in a long time. The "Good News Everyone" is a reference to the news that appeared here and at Billy West's Forum. I guess if you didn't get the reference in the first place, then you would not be interested in the news. It would be great to see futurama back on TV.
