I've looked at thousands of resumes over the years. All I care about is What You Know and What You Did. I can see both pretty clearly from your resume. The rest is just noise (to me). If I was looking for guy to write primarily Python or C in a Unix environment I would definitely follow up with a request for code samples and a phone screen.

> What You Know and What You Did I think this is my biggest problem. I was in school until the age of 24, then I kind of drifted (read: took up online poker) for a year and a half, and I finally started a real job at age 26. I don't get to program a lot in my current job. In other words, I have a good grounding in a lot of areas, I am an efficient and hard worker, and I pick up new things very quickly. Hmm... thanks for the feedback. Reading your comment and writing my reply shows me that I need to give explicit examples that demonstrate the traits I've listed above, as opposed to just saying them.
