Thanks for the CACM link; that's how I found it, actually, but I'm a subscriber so I only had the "subscribers-only" link (which is very nicely formatted.)
In any event: congratulations on the CACM publication-- that's a quite impressive academic credential, if those things matter to you.

In terms of actual utility, it is highly unlikely I'll ever have a CV again, but it makes a nice thing to have for e.g. visa applications.
