A weblog about TextMate, the Universe, and Everything
I just finished converting my cv to html format, using Tim Bray’s template, which I must say I find wonderful. As he so eloquently puts it, “Why would anyone want a word processor any more?”
It am very pleased with the result. Have a look and tell me what you think, and if you have a job for me, let me know! You can find other relevant documents here, though that page is under heavy construction.
