I can't remember the last time I needed to update my resume, probably about a decade ago. I've managed to get pretty regular work as a contractor without one. I'm planning a career move perhaps into a permanent role and realised I haven't s

Mighty CV is in private beta at the moment and is just about to roll out dynamic PDF generation. It's essentially a big button located on your online résumé that generates a printer friendly PDF whenever you need it. This PDF output is also

Apologies for hijacking this thread a little. I have a lot of ideas about this subject. Just before Christmas I got to thinking about how it was about time someone refactored the résumé format. So I've been building a service called Mighty

Does the universal sim mentioned in this article mean that it would be possible to have a tethered iPhone not locked to any one network? It could thus potentially work like a multi network MiFi. Imagine an app that tells you which data sig

Best by far that I've found is SelfControl by Steve Lambert - thanks Steve! http://visitsteve.com/made/selfcontrol/ It's OSX only though I'm afraid. It blocks at the network driver level and survives a restart. I switch it on for two hour

Actually no the domain I wanted when using resume is not available and this has lead to my dilemma. I like iwwr's suggestions of letting the my early adopters choose choose. I've got a bunch of other possibles and so I'll give some thought

Have used both a it's a +1 for Devise from me. Also think you do really need to give some attention to the logo as I almost couldn't see it at all. That said, congratulations on a good start. Keep on truckin!
