Looks like you're probably running it with Ruby 1.8, and it's using the Ruby 1.9 Hash syntax. Try to run it with 1.9, either through something like RVM, rbenv or chruby, or with any other number of distribution installers.

That's my take on it as well. A resume or CV is a piece of paper to get your name on someone's desk, then you get hired by passing the interview. Github is just another way of getting (or keeping) your name on someone's desk.
