Why An HTML Resume Is Beneficial...

Why An HTML Resume Is Beneficial...

With the job market seeing continual decline over the past few years, one can never do too much to increase one's brand. One of the best ways to do this is by creating a downloadable HTML resume that will show off that brand new shiny online bachelor degree you just completed. Fortunately, creating a small website with all of your qualifications, information, and occupational desires isn’t too hard these days.

For $50-100 a year you can purchase a domain name, host the website, and purchase some pretty good looking resume themes to show off what you got. These kinds of small projects can take a few hours, can really boost your credibility, and can create exposure to future employers. Below are several reasons why having an HTML version of your resume can be very beneficial.

It Saves Trees...(i.e. people don’t keep track of paper)

It’s not rare these days for people to do most of if not the entirety of their work online or on a screen. Sometimes handing someone a paper copy of your resume will not ensure that they will see it later or get it to the right person. This can cause stress for some people and requires one to repeatedly ask/call a hiring manager to inquire about whether or not they received it.

It’s Fast

If an employer does happen to lose a resume or wants to see yours at a glance, they will just have to click on the link that you have emailed them to find your resume. This can be far faster than searching through a pile of papers that can all begin to look the same. It can also be viewed on the web browser of a smart phone wherever they are at the time.This kind of efficiency can impress potential employers and set you apart because you made it easy for them to find your information when they needed it.

It’s Accessible

If you’re in the middle of a major job search, chances are that you have dozens, if not hundreds, of applications and prospects in the pipeline. Printing resumes for every interview, application, or opportunity can be difficult. It also limits your exposure only to those that hold your paper resume. With an HTML resume it is available for the entire world to see. You can send people a direct link, link to it on social media sites, and make it available when folks are simply searching the internet.

It’s Just Cooler...

Ok ok...this isn’t much of a reason for a lot of jobs, but if you’re a creative or going into a creative field it certainly can’t hurt to do some things with your HTML resume that you wouldn't necessarily do on paper. The possibilities are endless, and it will only be that much more impressive to an employer that you know how to innovate and take advantage of common technology that most people don’t.

For the sake of brevity I’ll conclude with one simple piece of advice. If you don’t currently have an HTML resume...you best get on it

What You Need To Know About Pancreatic Cancer.

Cancer is one of the scariest things that people have to deal with. Cancer is an ongoing battle in the medical community. There are many varieties of the disease that can affect people. One of the most common types is pancreatic cancer. The pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen that secretes digestive enzymes. Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest mortality rates of any form of the disease. Less than five percent of those diagnosed do not survive for longer than five years. Unlike other forms of cancer, remission is often very rare. When dealing with Pancreatic Cancer, health insurance is a must. Obviously, pancreatic cancer can be very scary. Here are some things you need to know about the disease.

There are many causes of pancreatic cancer. Age and gender play a major role. Men over sixty years old are especially prone to the disease. Obesity and smoking are also potential causes of the illness. Diet also plays a major role in pancreatic cancer risk. Lack of fruits and vegetables in a diet can increase the risk of the disease. A large amount of red meat and sugar can also play a role. Family history is also a major indicator.

Pancreatic cancer doesn't usually show symptoms in its early stages. For this reason, catching the disease early is very difficult. That is a major reason for the low mortality rate. A common symptom is abdominal pain. The pain is usually serious enough that you will feel it in your back as well. Vomiting, fatigue, weight loss, and loss of appetite are other potential indicators. These symptoms could be indicative of many other diseases, so checking with your doctor is vital. Advanced symptoms include blood clotting in the veins, jaundice, and depression.

Visiting your doctor if you experience symptoms could be tricky. Abdominal pain is a common symptom associated with many other conditions. As a result, many people avoid going to the doctor because they assume the pain will go away. However, it is worth the trouble to visit your doctor. They can perform the necessary tests and ask the necessary questions to see if you may be a victim of pancreatic cancer. If you experience rapid weight loss, you should definitely visit your doctor.

If you or someone you know has pancreatic cancer, there are certain things you should expect. Jaundice and pain are likely to become more severe. Rapid weight loss is also likely. There could also be several bowel issues. If a doctor diagnoses the illness as pancreatic cancer, there are certain steps you will need to follow. The first step is to visit a cancer doctor. They can discuss all options with you, including radiation. They can also provide advice on how to deal with digestive problems. Prepare a list of questions as well as a list of foods you eat. This can help your doctor discuss everything with you.

There are some treatment options for pancreatic cancer. The main treatments include radiation and chemotherapy. Surgery is also an option for patients. The stage of the cancer will help determine the course of treatment that is needed. It is important for pancreatic cancer patients to find a way to cope with the disease. Finding a good support structure is essential.

Powered By Linux

I found a very interesting post about Linux and want to share it with you.

I've only revealed the tip of the Linux iceberg, but if there is any doubt Linux is everywhere, consider its latest foray into TV game shows, no less. Watson, the supercomputer and contestant on a specially staged three-day "Jeopardy" event handily defeated two of "Jeopardy's" greatest champions. Yes, Watson is Linux.

Rest here.

The post explains where and how we use Linux in our daily life, but though don't know about it. Really nice stuff.

Customize The Linux Terminal

The Linux Terminal is powerful, but sometimes can be dull and boring. Here are some of my customizations that make the Terminal a little more attractive. All of these can be done by editing the .bashrc file in the Home folder. All these are not for Linux Mint by the way, as Linux Mint already has these customizations.

Add Some Color:

Wanna display the current directory and your username in bash? But with some colors? Then just add the following in the .bashrc

# Colors
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\] \[\033[01;34m\]\W\[\033[00m\]\[\e[1;32m\]\$\[\e[m\] '

Well, you can

Display a Fortune:

You can display random quotes in bash. First install fortune-mod.

For Ubuntu,

sudo apt-get install fortune-mod

For Fedora

su -
yum install fortune-mod

Now add the following to the .bashrc

fortune -s

Here is my Terminal(Konsole) in KDE.

If you want to display animals as above, first install cowsay,

For Ubuntu,

sudo apt-get install cowsay

For Fedora

su -
yum install cowsay

Then add,

fortune -s | cowsay -n

In stead of

fortune -s

To randomize cows, you can replace it with

# Check for interactive terminal (should not produce output otherwise).
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
# Set location of cow files.
cowdir="/usr/share/cowsay"

# Create an array from the files in our $cowdir.
cows=($cowdir/*)

# Randomly select a cow from our cows
# (${#myarr[*]} == num items in array, RANDOM == random number).
mycow="${cows[RANDOM % ${#cows[*]}]}"

# Create an array of possible cow actions (think or say).
cowactions=("cowsay" "cowthink")

# Randomly select an action.
myaction="${cowactions[RANDOM % ${#cowactions[*]}]}"

# Call fortune and pass the results to cowthink/cowsay with our chosen cow.
fortune | $myaction -n -f "`basename ${mycow}`"
fi

Chrome OS Powered Notebooks Available For Beta Testing

Google recently unveiled the preview version of its cloud operating system, Chrome OS, which is scheduled to be available summer 2011. But those who want to get their hands on the operating system early will have to be one of the 60,000 users invited to receive the new Cr-48 notebook.

The Cr-48 notebook will be strictly used to beta test Google's new operating system. The notebooks will be given only to qualified users, including businesses, schools and developers.

Chrome OS is a cloud based OS designed for people who spend most of the time on the web. Chrome OS runs web-based applications, such as Google Docs and Gmail. So it is not for people who use PC Softwares rather than web based apps.

According to Google, Acer and Samsung are planning to release Chrome OS-powered notebooks in the first half of 2011

A Brief Guide On Customizing Windows

Being a linux user, I know how tough it is to customize Windows when compared to Ubuntu. There are many people who dont care about it and by "customization" they mean changing the wallpaper and screensaver. But certainly there are a lots of people who want to go further and make their desktop unique. But windows doesn't like tweaking. Windows7 doesn't even supports third party themes by default. We have to patch it to make it usable. I know there are lots of application, which offers windows customization (for example windows blinds); but I don't prefer them, they are too resource hungry.

So here is a brief guide on customizing Windows, specifically Windows7. Not a step by step guide though, just an overview, to make it easy for you. And of course, the applications I will recommend here, doesn't take much memory. So you don't have to worry about RAM.

UXStyle: As I have mentioned, we have to patch a third party theme to use it in Windows7. And it is a real pain. But thanks to UXstyle, which has made it easy for us. Actually nothing is mentionable about this tool. Just grab it from http://uxstyle.com, install it and then forget it. It will do its work behind the scene. You dont have to worry about patching the theme from now on. Great, isn't it?

Themes: Now download a theme. http://deviantart.com has a great collection of components that can be used for customizing Windows. Just search for Windows7 themes there, and you will find many. For example let us consider the Soft7 theme which you can download from here. Now extract the archive, you will notice a folder Soft7 containing the theme elements and a theme file Soft7.theme.Copy both of them to C://Windows/Resources/Themes/ Now you may have to restart your PC to apply the theme. Go to the personilze option and apply the theme. Remember, you must have UXStyle installed to apply the theme properly, as you didnt patch it.

Start Orb: The default start orb may not go well with your theme and you want to change it, right? Download Windows 7 Start Orb Changer and a suitable start orb (you can find plenty of them in deviantart, for example SteelOrb). Those start orbs are nothing but bitmap images. Just open the start orb changer as Administrator and select the .bmp image, your start orb is changed.

Taskbar Icons: You can also manually customize the icons of the applications that are pinned to the taskbar to match it with the theme. Search Google for detail tutorial on this. But I am here talking about another easy way to do it for some well known application. Download 7Confier, run it as Administrator, and select from the available icon themes.

Here is a screenshot of my taskbar with changed start orb and icons:

Cursors: Just consider this cursor theme for example. right click the proper .inf file and install it.

Gadgets: Microsoft provides a lots of gadgets in their official website. And if you are not happy with it, then again deviantart. Thousands of gadgets, choose one, for example Chameleon Glass. Now run the installers, they are easy to install. If you are not happy with this kind of gadgets, you may want to give Google Desktop a try.

These are some basic steps to customize your desktop. You may also try various launchers or docks to increase the usabilty. Or you may want to go one step forward and use tools like Rainmeter or Emerge Desktop to give it a unique look. The choice is yours...

You have your own customized desktop? Why don't you share it with us?

UC Browser 7.4 - Big Step From User Oriented Changes

The UC Browser has an update in the early November; I think most of our guys are enjoying it right now. I’ve noticed the news about the update, but I want to see comments about this new update to decide whether it’s a good choice to try 7.4 or not. I install the 7.4 today, and then glad to find there are really some changes I want to share with you. And the still powerful download, which could help users to get over the operator’s file size limitation, and data compression and fast speed function are all been well kept in this new version. All the changes may be small, but they hit my necessary a lot and it is really becoming a mobile browser for worldwide users.

The first one is the cursor mode as default. It’s really good for new users who are so familiar with this mode from Opera mini. Frankly speaking, I paid a lot of hours to make clear the word - “common mode” when I started to use UC Browser 7, then I changed to cursor mode which felt much more easy to use for me. New users can skip this learning step now. To the UC Browser, it is really a worldwide browser now.

The second change I feel happy to see is the improved feedback mechanism. We all know that the UC Team has a forum. But how could I report a bug or share my opinion on the go? In UC Browser 7.2, the feedback function is so poor that I even haven’t any interest to open it, but in this update of UC Browser7.4, I find the difference. When I click the menu button and choose feedback, a form jumps out as a new tab and I can write what I want to say to UC Team and get updated about the things if I leave my email address.

The third change is the returning free copy function. I was so confused about the reason why UC team cut the free copy function in 7.2 version. I like the function so much; it helps me to share with my friends. I used to post for requiring it back in 7.2 version, but it didn’t work. So I used Opera mini for some time during the UC Browser 7.2 version. But now it comes back, I can start using it again.

Another very important things is that UC Team seems to have fixed the access bug for Vodafone Live. Actually, I am with a sim card from Vodafone Live, in the old version, UC Browser can just visit wap sites with this APN, but now, it seems totally OK with my mobile now, thanks UC Team for doing that.

Although the changes I refer here are so small, but they are really useful during browsing. The UC Team is really doing something we can see from the first sight. I’m glad to see that and I suggest you to try the new UC Browser(you can find files at their wapsite), you’ll love it as me.

Latest UC Browser 7.4 - Keep Mobile Browsing Beautiful MediaFire Download Links

The UC Browser, 7.4 seems totally a new browser for us. It’s a new player in mobile browser market, competing with Opera Mini, Skyfire and Bolt. Opera mini has its attracting features to me, and so is UC Browser. I like its fast download and powerful settings which I can make the browser fully for my personal habits, such as the power shortcut system, the text space in the pages, content folding … All is for you to set them as you like.

Although there are several functions that I want don’t appear in this version, but I still think it deserves you to have a try.

“As our users are booming all over the world, our servers are managing much more requests than ever before. We have increased our server groups.” The super moderator in UC Forum writes. I have posted in the UC Forum many time referring about visiting problems, finally they heard and add servers for it. Now I feel faster than ever before.

“We also optimized our webpage management technology for better displaying webpages on mobile phones.” the super moderator continues, “in this new version, we have provided better support of WAP2.0, an advanced standard for mobile sites. More elements in the webpages can be displayed on mobile browser.” I’ve tested for Yahoo and Songs.pk, you can see the screenshots, I think it’s a real progress for UC Browser.

With this improvement, I can now make the “Adaptive View”, sort of “Mobile View” in Opera Mini, to become my daily browsing choice. In this mode, the internet becomes really mobile for me.

In “Zoom Mode”, webpages are just for 15 inch or bigger computer screens, how could they be good if they are displayed full in a 4.3 inch (even smaller) mobile phone screen? I don’t want to zoom in and out continuously to find the content I am interested.

While in adaptive view, I can check all the content displayed “adaptive” on the screen, whether it is big or small. Now you can see clearly from my screenshots that in Mobile View mode, UC Browser displays the webpage better than Opera Mini

Another obvious change is the new design of navigation area. The “My Shortcuts” and totallynew navigation area on the home screen really attract my eyes once I update from 7.2. It’s nice and kind of “Speed Dial” in Opera Mini. But it’s not the same as Opera Mini; UC Browser provides this function in its own style.

As it is named, “My Shortcuts” is a collection of most visited sites. These sites will appear in it automatically according to the visiting history. I can also make them sticky all the time too. The new navigation area is now rearranged in a much better way. With two columns, all the sites are listed within categories. Each category with lead you to a page contain many similar sites you might like. But I find there are some mistakes on sites and name spelling a few days ago, but they disappear now. Maybe the UC Team is adjusting this new feature

12 popular sites are picked as icon links just beneath the “My Shortcuts” to make us easy to visit. There are sites I used most of the time, such as Google, Dantri and Yahoo; there are also sites I can download ringtones or apps such as GetJar and 1Mobile. Forget about typing address to visit sites, most sites you interested will appear in your hands after about 3 clicks under this new design.

There are some other features in UC Browser can meet your various needs while browsing, such as its famous download, supporting breakpoint transmission and multi-thread; save and sharefunction enables you share pages by SMS; and the amazing night mode, which can make me enjoy browsing at night without disturbing my roommate’s sleep.

Try it for a couple of time, and I bet you’ll find it is a nice choice for you as me. I think it is in the same line with Opera Mini now. You can get it from their website or mobile site

How To Install MS Office In Ubuntu

Open Office & Libre Office are great, but still, there is always some incompatibility between Microsoft Word documents and Open Office/Libre Office. I have always felt the need to use Windows to be able to use MS Word. I have tried several times to install MS Word on my Linux Mint system via WINE. But I was never successful. But not to worry, I found a great application which installed MS Office with all its specific wine prefixes and gave me a fully working installation of MS Word on my Mint.

Assuming you have already installed wine, first you need to install PlayOnLinux, which is a great application to install many Windows games and softwares via wine. It automatically creates application specific wine prefixes and downloads & installs all required programs.

Click here to install PlayOnLinux. After installing, you can find it under "Menu>Games>PlayOnLinux".

Now, open PlayOnLinux and let it update its database. Then click on the install button. Under the office section select the version of MS Office you want to install and click "Forward". We installed MS Office 2007 here.

Now the Wizard will begin. Now click "Forward".

Insert the MS Office installation disc and paste the mount location in the input box. The address of the local directory where the set up files are will also work. Now click "Forward".

Now you can install Office as you would on Windows.

That's all you need to do. PlayOnLinux will install everything itself. make sure to be connected to internet, because PlayOnLinux will require to download some files.

Not only MS Office also many other Windows application can be easily installed this way. If you know any better way, please share with us
