Mobile and Text resumes now also working.

The Mobile and Plain text versions of my new resume are now also working.  Try the mobile version on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

New Resume (HTML Desktop version)

Finally finished the desktop/html version of my new web developer and frontend engineer resume after 5 years of thinking about it:

http://brev.name/resume/brev-resume.html

Some features:

• Generated via XSLT from an XML file in the XML Resume Library format.
• The HTML output validates at the W3C.
• Uses the hResume, hCalendar, hCard, rel-tag, adr, and geo Microformats.
• CSS reset and CSS fonts by YUI 3.
• Pretty source by HTML Tidy.
• Should be working on all Grade-A Browsers @ 1024 pixels wide.

Text, PDF, Word, and Mobile versions "should" be coming soon, also translated via XSLT from the XML.

Fixing hResume microformat validation with Firefox Operator add-on

I've been using the hResume Microformat lately. I've felt a little frustrated at the lack of validation tools available. I want to make sure that I'm marking up my HTML correctly.

The only real option I found was the hResume user script for the Operator Firefox add-on, but it doesn't work as provided.

After a little tweaking on hResume.js, I found that it will work if you remove this block of code:

virtualGetter: function(mfnode) {} 

Second Story #1

Whenever I come across a used or borrowed book, in which some previous reader has written notes in the margins, I'm going to record and post the handwritten notes as a new form of poetry.

Second Story #1 comes to us from the margins of Ten Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives by Dr. Laura:

Wait one year for a relationship
Mom asked
after losing a five year marriage
Gregg was responsible for my happiness
not me
having courage
having a dream
for me
opportunity for me to select
not be chosen
What are my dreams?
When we're in rough times
Occupy myself
not waiting for the
"right" man
"inappropriate" man
charity work
carve out for herself as stage fright
suffer through
Are you sure you want to be a mother?
postpone gratification
depression! depression!
when we moved
when Ari was born
when Dad died
Gregg was a jerk
when Dad died
Dave, he wants me
i want to be wanted
Screw Gregg
I am taking all of his money
no more nice guy
I almost gave him my money
to keep the house
I was afraid to cross Gregg
especially when Ari was born
I am not going to play victim
ME
A man I'll select will not change
be picky
stop seeing Dave, he wants to be missed
he didn't call
he saw a girlfriend yesterday
he just wants to know about the male masseuse
i want to be wanted
if not Gregg then somebody
that's sad
I am not going to be with Dave anymore
He is not good enough
today doesn't feel like that now
I hated everything about Gregg
many years ago
