Presumably if you're applying for jobs related to your education that aren't related to your first "proper" job then you'd mention your education first, no?

I'm guessing something along those lines led you to specify this as a generalisation.

That's a list of all open positions, maybe that will help give an idea.
Ahem. Delist swimming as one of your activities.

I would say 95% of every CV I get has swimming and/or reading listed. Even if it is a particular passion (which I suspect it is in this case) just don't mention it :)

(I like the swiss army knife mention though, a bit of "unique" is always good)
Thanks for the link.

I have had a look and there is plenty of advice I could give you. I'm facing a pile of almost 100 CV's now but I promise you that I will get round to it although it may take a few days if that's ok?
We'll I don't think tax is a good idea to base your decisions for a startup. There's a saying that the tail wags the dog. Your business is the dog and tax is the tail. California state is almost as disgusting as New York when it comes to how aggressive, how many taxes they have and how high their tax rates are. BUT, Silicon Valley, Cali is where your startup is probably going to get its funding so you sorta dont really have a choice in where to start.

Starting a company in Delaware isn't something that you need to worry about. Incorporating in Delaware is for their caselaw. Delaware has a VERY clear line of cases where they break everyone detail down to its minuet detail so that when you get sued, the lawyer is very clear as to your options and likely outcomes. Also, very important is that Delaware has pro-majority ownership rules. Delaware gives the majority owner of the company extensive authorities on what they're allowed to do. Other states will be less pro-business and protect the minority interest, thus limiting the power of the majority owner.

The united states is special. From my knowledge thusfar, i think the US is the ONLY country that taxes your worldwide income. Other countries wont tax income earned elsewhere. If you live in the US, then you'd pay taxes on your US income. But, if you become a resident of the US, then the US might try taxing your worldwide income too! lol. I'd say that there's a higher change of you paying double taxation in state tax than federal tax.
A chunky controller isn't necessary for handheld gaming... but we need something better than a flat touchscreen too.

Especially if you're going to play a FPS, you need two analog sticks, and dedicated buttons that you can feel without having to look at. You don't get that with a flat touchscreen.

The PSPhone doesn't have actual analog sticks, it looks like it has a capacitive multi-touch surface. The key thing that makes it all better is that it has two little nubs so that you can feel where the center position is. This is such an important piece of feedback you can't get with a flat screen.

I also don't like giving up some of the screen real estate as controller surface either, but that's me.
Oh, where to start?

Having a baby entirely eliminates your life and replaces it with a different one. And you can't undo it. You cannot spend all your time on a project now - you have to change your priorities. This is not an option, and unfortunately it's not something that happens magically by itself, either. Like maintaining a marriage, it's something you choose to do because not to do so is unthinkable.

The payoff will come a decade from now - or two, and it will consist of knowing (1) you made a good human being, and (2) you yourself are so much more mature and focused that the rest of your life will go much better. Just as long as you choose to have the right outcome - because #2 can also consist of your being a broken, bitter person who feels they trashed their life.

There is nothing like parenting. It's the headiest mixture of ebullient joy and sheer terror that's ever existed. My kids are 16 and 11, they're both smarter and more capable than all the rest of humanity combined, and all in all I think we've succeeded - but it hasn't been at all easy.

Would I undo it, given a time machine? No. I was a callow idiot until I had kids. Now I'm a more seasoned idiot, but I have a lot more gumption to do something that might fail. Because having kids guarantees one thing - you're going to fail. At lots of different things. And then you're going to keep right on going, past the failure, and make the best of things, because you have no choice at all.

Ultimately, it hardens you to risk. I have to recommend it.
I can see 2 possible solutions:

1) Dig into your problems with these gems and either fix or replace them
2) Think again if you really need Rails 3. What are some benefits that you will get from that upgrade?

I'd suggest 2 approach. Rails 2.3 is a very solid version and is used in many apps. I don't see reason to "upgrade for upgrade". Especially if there is some friction and not enough time.

I recently made very small project on Rails 2 just because all I needed was ActiveScaffold(not available in Rails3 atm)- which is really awesome for some stuff btw.
You must look at the history of it. Disabling images was very important when accessing web over a 9600 bps modem. Disabling Javascript overall was also convenient as practically no useful content was brought by Javascript but a lot of annoyance, and some exploits always existed.

I still browse with JS disabled by default, however I turn on JS for the selected sites, only if I'd believe that they are worth it. Opera allows me to be selective, it has Javascript block configurable per site.

Why not CSS? Well, Opera can set a user css per site too. It's very convenient for some of the sites that are unreadable for me by default (i.e. small white letters on the black background or even picture background). It still can't explicitly disable HTML5 videos per site, AFAIK.
Apparently the images are fake: http://www.nowgamer.com/news/4488/sony-psp-phone-is-fake
if the IP is owned by an llc and you sell your shares of the llc, does that simplify things? in acquisitions in general, if the acquirer is buying you out by buying your shares, does that generally result in a capital gains tax, and not ordinary income tax? (if so, my daydreaming of starting and selling a startup for millions just got even better)
Send me an email :).
Mac OS is 64bit, and most of the applications are already 64bit. Applications are compiled by default using 64bit (you need to pass a parameter to gcc to create 32 bit executables).

It's fantastic thank you :) I must think of ways to pay back the community now.
OMG - that means HN will have a kids branch soon, won't it? Hacker kids are a scary thought :-)
My take:

Not overly convinced with listing the skills down the right hand side. It makes it a little hard to read. I generally recommend that people stick to "normal" layouts and list skills at the end.

Also; be more specific with the skills if you can. "Database design" can mean many things (this is particularly important if you go for, say, a DB design job :)).

Also; it is ok to write a short prose section under "interests" or something, which is where you can be a bit more creative and sell yourself.

Otherwise, pretty good :)
Ask HN: I built it, "they" didn't come...
I've been in the "build->launch->move to next project" loop for some time.

My projects are mostly based on features that are missing or misimplemented in
the existing products. Some of the finished projects gone live, tried to sell some,
some are rotting in the attic.

I lack visual design skills, but yet trying to do my best to provide a usable UI for
the products. One of my motives in building a product against my lack of visual skills
is knowing that "they started as crap too". For example reddit was just a very simple
listing full with porn links, stumbleupon was just a "what is this" page for a few years,
twitter was and still is damn slow, broken and overbloated and there are many more..
Other than reddit, others was most probably the first at doing what they do. There
were no similar products, but they got it up and running and people easily adopted.

When i ask about feedbacks about my products, mostly i get "i didn't understand which
problem you are solving". I even deployed a localized copy of cnprog as a forum on
women's issues, to see if it was me doing it wrong in designing. I got the following
feedback several times: "it's too complicated, there's no order, no title in threads,
other forums(phpbb style) are better ". WTF?
These people are on facebook 24/7, uploading gazillions of photos, messaging their friends
each second. They know what tagging is, and still a stackoverflow clone is too complicated?

Anyway, what i wonder is, what happened to people that got it the first time
when they saw reddit, stumbleupon and said "yeah i'll use it". Were internet users back
in late 90's , ealy 2000's much more sophisticated people? What has changed since then,
and people became website gourmets to say that "you should tell what this site is about
on the first page. i don't understand that your site is a listing site by just looking at the listing
on the goddamn first page. that's why i decided that i won't use it at the very first second
i stumbled onto your site"? Sigh..

Have "they" gone forever, and will never come back again?

Edit: Thanks for all the fantastic comments, i didn't expect to get many insightful ideas and suggestions. There are some points i guess i need to make myself clear:

- WTF -> these people can use the applications i can not even cope with, how can they find a 2-3 step forum complex ? details: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1838852

- I've tried opening jobs on amazon, asking communities for feedbacks, paying google ads, using stumbleupon ads, posting to startup listings. lastly using feedbackroulette :) by the way fr is just great.

- details about a few of the stuff i've done http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1838805
> "Knowing what to build" is fine for technical people who are building a simple web based tool which they'll use themselves. However, this doesn't generalise to building software for complex industries.

Who said anything about software?

> As an example, a few years ago I was advising a company who wanted to automate the calculation of tax. You would have thought that this was easy,

No, I wouldn't, because I know a little about taxes. A technical tax person would know even more and understand a lot of the complexity.

> but in fact it's the most complex thing ever and you need that non-technical specialist domain knowledge.

Why do you persist in saying that domain knowledge is necessarily non-technical and that technical people can't have it?

Both are wrong.
Yes, this is what a lot of people told me, but I was in Italy at that time. Through the number I found on the website I was never able to speak to anybody. Did not try to make a call to the US though.
Stutters like crazy when I drag any elements around the canvas. Looks promising, otherwise!
Spending time with your kids -> relationship with them gets better -> it becomes more fun to spend time with them.

I don't think chasing a pot of gold is worth giving up time for your family (that you'll never get back), but that may just be me.
I find it very hard to take this article seriously, since there are constant interruption with things like "Work your entire body in 15 minutes with these three moves for fast muscle" and "Tied to the treadmill? Try these seven ways to burn more fat on the belt".

It reminds me very much of an old SNL skit with Jerry Seinfeld about "news-at-11" style reporting. I can't find a better link than this one:

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/99/99anewswatch.phtml

But the whole thing is filled with quotes like "Connor, it's no bark and all bite for golden retrievers and other so-called family dogs. What's causing these sweet and furry creatures to viciously attack sleeping toddlers? Stay, and we'll tell you in a minute.".
No, sorry. Making something good and simple would take much more than 5 hours. Besides there are enormous amount of tutorials for Rails. Check peepcode, railstutorials, railscast, rubyonrails.org. Also read our Bible: Agile development on rails by DHH.
If you had any experience in programming or web prog, this should be far enough to start with.
Thanks very much, never really thought that people would be interested in the "what and the why". I have a feeling I'll be making a lot of changes to my C.V tonight.
Vilac:Umbrella-CELLPHONE
from the forests of jura, france comes vilac, a historically renowned wood-turning toy company beloved at home and abroad for its classically charming gifts and knickknacks for the young (and young at heart)
NDAs put you at a ton of risk. What happens if what they're working on something that you've had rolling around in the back of your mind? Now you can't work on it without facing legal action.

I can't find the original post, but NDA = "No deal, amateur."
Yeah. Both of our kids had (still have) uncurable diseases. (One kidney, one Crohn's.) For five years we did nothing but health maintenance - and by God we succeeded in restoring their health. But you just don't have the option of saying, "No, this is too hard, I'm quitting now." Because by doing that, you're dooming your child - a person who depends on you completely.

This meant that my wife, for example, took five years out of her career after getting her PhD in theoretical physics. She's just now getting reestablished, and that isn't an insignificant part of one's life.

But ... you have no choice. So you man up and do it. Along the way, you think back to the older people you've known in your life - your parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts - and you suddenly realize why they were the way they were.
Whilst Linkedin is a vital tool, if one of my candidates sent me a link to their linkedin page when I ask for a copy of their CV I wouldn't bother helping them and I would tell them as much.

If you can't go to the effort of compiling a detailed CV for me to send to my clients then I can't be bothered going to the effort to try and get you an interview with people who pay me top dollar to find the strongest, hungriest applicants.

If I sent a linkedin page to an employer instead of a candidates CV I am almost certain they wouldn't even bother looking at it.
Sexism on the Internet is a Gray Area
"The worst, in terms of tiredness and exhaustion comes around 6 - 8 weeks." Agreed. Also, tiredness can build up over months and hit you hard at, say, 6 months. Make sure you and your wife use every moment you can to get some sleep. Leave that laundry for later, get some sleep.
I've played with ActiveScaffold and can't say I'm as much of a fan :p

My app is currently running on 2.3.5 – I think the reason I feel compelled to upgrade is that I just hear so much about Rails 3.
Good point with the 'upgrade for upgrade' point. I'll have to think about it, and yeah, it is just friction at this point.
Give Your Photos a Dimensional Makeover in Photoshop
Editing the dimensions of an image is quite simple and easy in Photoshop. The program has many tools and features that can easily change and adjust images sizes, resolutions and crop and many more.
So link to a page on your site showing a screenshot of the article, or copy/paste it and link to the original with a caveat that the link may break, or something. Don't be held back by something as trivial as fear of link breakage.
Java's security model is meaning a HUGE Java applet to do this. And a custom plugin requires that you get people to install it. Works if you're Google (that's how they do Voice in Gmail), but probably not if you're Joe's Bait Shop wanting to add a click to call application.
Nvidia looks to the future of GPU computing
Seems that time takes new turn, and old stunt of paypal on e-bay conference repeats with paypal conference and wepay. I think it is just creative way to get known and sell themselves for wepay.
That's quite interesting. Most of the people visiting our site come from other marketing channels and are (at least looking at the heatmaps and a/b testing results) generally checking us out.

Have you got a link to one of your sites with the step signup process?
Nexus is a state and local tax concept. Nexus is defined as the "minimum connection necessary for a state to tax a taxpayer." Generally, there are three factors that lead to nexus (there are more but i'll give you the basics.)

If you have employees in a state then you have nexus (this may include contractors as well). If you have ANY type of property or rental in the state then you have nexus. If you have significant economic connection to a state then you have nexus (notice this is a very subjective and BROAD concept.)

Having servers in a foreign country isnt really important because YOU the owner = nexus to the state that you're living in. So, your state has the right to tax you.

The IRS doesn't care about your nexus because they dont have that rule. The IRS is the shit because they dont deal with silly questions of "the relation to income earned and the US." Their rule is simple, "All income you earn is taxable period unless we say it isn't"
Two weeks in, I definitely feel more determined than ever, but sleep is still a problem.

A couple of months into the pregnancy I took on a 9 to 5 job, which I wouldn't have considered otherwise. Then it became a problem to quit that job again, when it turned out to be boring (like most jobs) - risk aversion is definitely way up, also for the spouse. Luckily now the company branch dissolved anyway, problem solved.

I actually don't feel that now it is my duty to get a secure job to feed the family. Of course feeding the family is a priority, but it seems more important to me to be able to show my son that it is possible to have a fulfilling life, a ka have fun at work. If I went to another 9 to 5 job now, it would just result in a depressed father and possibly also a depressed kid. I don't think buying more shiny toys would compensate for that.

It floored me that it is considered normal by society that the father simply is away working and rarely ever has time for the kid. Certainly not what I want.
It's not just the sleep. It's the attention. If your home, you have to give them attention. I won't go into all my details, but in a general way, the first kid, it's easier to find the extra time to work on projects. However, having the second really impacts that. Work all day, come home, dinner, and you have to spend time with the kids. Oh, I love that. But it's not until after 9 that you get a chance to sit down with the kids asleep. But even then, you have other things you have to do, day to day things.

Regardless of the time I spend away from doing anything on the computer, I'm working on my best projects every at home. God, those two... something is in my eye.
It's not awful, but as user24 says - it's VERY salesy.

Think about what the problem is for a blogger - making some money out of their hobby, in the easiest possible way, without annoying their readers.

If you are not a blogger yourself, why not interview blogger friends to see what the issues or problems that they are having either with making money or with using tools (not getting paid etc.)

And yeah, don't say CEO - and use language your mother and father would understand - I know some bloggers are technical - but many are not.

Good luck ;) - (and spelling error in your title BTW)
Absolutely. Also: how to assert yourself. How to set boundaries. How to communicate seriously. How to praise. Etc.
I'll second pretty much everything ErrantX mentioned, specifically the skills comment, move them. I appreciate you are probably trying to keep it to one page but I promise you that this does not give you any advantage whatsoever.

As for specifics, list your day to day duties and responsibilities in a format that will stand out and be easy to read such as a list of bullet points under each brief.
Maybe, it's probably more likely it can boot from a USB CD-ROM than from a USD key. But I have no idea how much more likely.

Otherwise, you could maybe try a PCMCIA network card, assuming the laptop supports that.
I have a 7 month old son. I'm 24 years old. Me and the girl started going out about 4 months into her pregnancy. I wanted to give it a shot and it didn't work out in the end (just split up). My advice is to not fool yourself. It's going to take all you have, so be ready to sacrifice your startup, social life etc. There will be time later for that. Just go at the same speed as the girl does, going from maternity and babycaring to getting a babysitter and going out.

My second advice is to give it a shot.
Nokia 6220 classic

Ultra superb features is 5 megapixel camera with 2592 x 1944 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, video (VGA 30fps), Xenon flash and secondary video call camera resolution which can be used by you anytime to capture the happiest moments of your life with more clarity.
I have four daughters ages 4 to 14 and the one thing, without a doubt, that kids did for me was that they help me to slow down and appreciate the little things in life. If it wasn't for a my daughters (and my wife, to a lesser extent) I'd probably do nothing but work and sleep. But they keep me grounded in the rest of the world. And something as simple as a few minutes watching a show or playing a game together brings me more joy than it ever did before I had them.

As for you questions; yeah, it'll can change your priorities, inspire you to do more or do different. And, as you can see in the rest of the comments, having a baby instantly requires everyone to give all the advice they wished someone had given them.

My advice, ignore 99.9% of what everyone tells you. Doing that is what kept my wife and I sane.
Thirty conversations on design: Designers of the world – Unite
You may or may not know it, but you’re a designer. We’re all designers. Because at its core, design is simply creating a way to do something. It’s true, some people are more adept at this than others (and thank goodness for that). But, if you stop to think about all the things that are designed around us, it’s pretty amazing.
Don't judge yourself or others. And you will never feel guilty. That's my mantra.
I picked up Ruby and then RoR about 8 weeks ago. I was stuck on this issue:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4020393/ruby-on-rails-3-f...

If you are an expert on 3.0/UJS (can't seem to find as much

documentation /tutorials on this), I'd even pay a nominal
amount just to email you a few questions over the next few
months as I learn.
I'm father of 6. Ages 7,5,4,3,2 and 8 months. (I'm atheist before you ask.) My best work--in technology has coincided with a pregnant wife. Between our disappearing nightlife schedule (more hack nights FTW!) and the caveman drive to go hunt on the plains (which for me means more LOC), a pregnancy has been productivity heroin.

Yes, a baby does change your life--in other more significant ways. The intensity of emotion cannot be described. But you will know it when you are holding your own son/daughter in your arms for the first time.

Don't dilly-dally. Have kids early. While you believe you are underfunded, underprepared and "distracted" with your tech startup.
Oh, goody. You have the teen years ahead of you then. Talk about sheer terror - they're busy learning to be separate adults and they will fail. Ugh. My daughter (16) is the most mature, cautious person I have ever known in my life, and it's still terrifying.
