aashworthon Writing a CV in LaTeX

This post would have been so handy for me about a year ago when I was applying for new jobs. Unfortunately, I was not able to switch over to using LaTeX to format my resume: many websites will only accept a formatted Word-compatible document.

aashworthon Switching to Linux, you're doing it wrong

- I just can't tear myself away from Windows as my primary system until Wine becomes less of a pain to use. While Linux has alternatives for most of the software I use, the 10% it doesn't keeps me rooted to keeping Windows on my primary partition.

-With VMWare performance getting better and better with SSDs and multicore processors, I hardly notice a delay when I'm developing in a virtual machine.

-I hate dual-booting just so I can spend 10 minutes playing Angry Birds on my break. So I just stay in Windows.
