Resume time!

Published on August 25, 2008 .1 Comment

I need to re-draft my resume again. I thought I’d write it in latex this time. I’d gone in for an extremely unusual two-column grid/table based layout for my previous resume, filled with Word Textboxes. They were really useful in cramming a lot of information into a very small area.

I love the gorgeous rendering capabilities of Latex, and wanted to use it this time, but will have to read up on giving absolute positions of text boxes. I also plan to make my resume very minimalist, listing only important items which I have a lot of experience in.

:( I hate making resumes.

Any suggestions about the latex grid design?

Python imdb script

I wrote a tiny piece of code to enter a movie name and it gives you some imdb information on your console. I’m ironing out a couple of tiny kinks in the Plot reading code, moreover it’s 1 in the morning and I need to get to sleep.

Here’s a screenshot. It’s been ages since I posted images on my weblog.

This was written using python and beautifulsoup. And it seems Anomit really likes the combo too.
