Drew Sudell's Resume

Getting a copy of my resume

My resume is available online in a number of formats:

Format	File
Portable Document Format (Adobe PDF)	resume-web.pdf
HyperText Markup Lanuage (HTML)	resume-web.html
Postscript	resume-web.ps
ASCII Text	resume-web.txt

If you want something nice to print, I'd recommend the PDF file. If you are just browsing online, I'd recommend the HTML.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why isn't there contact information on your resume? How can I contact you?

A: The short answer is mail me at asudell@acm.org. For the long answer see contact-info.html.

Q: Where can I get a viewer for your these files?

A: That depends on which file you choose.

In the case of HTML your browser probably works fine. I've tested the file in Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, and Lynx.
In the case of PDF you probably want to use Acrobat Reader from Adobe. You can also use Ghostscript as well, though it won't follow the links in the file, which Acrobat will.
Frankly, the Postscript copy is mostly for people who want to spool the file directly to a Postscript printer. But, Ghostscript makes a fine Postscript viewer and is available for most operating systems including most Unixes along with Windows and Mac.
If you actually want the ASCII version, you probably know what to do with it. But it will display in your browser as well. It just doesn't look as fancy as html.

Q: I didn't see a copy of your resume in Word. Can I get it as a .doc file?

A: Sorry. I don't own Word for a number of reasons. One big reason is that I actually run Unix at home and not Windows. My main machine runs FreeBSD. I also run Red Hat Linux. Word isn't available on those systems.

Q: So how did you produce your resume?

A: Like most documents I produce, my resume started as LaTeX. LaTeX is a macro package for TeX, a text processing system written by Donald Knuth. TeX implementations are available for a wide range of systems, and include both commercial and free implementations. The files I distribute were produced using a number of tools, including latex2html, dvips, and dvipdfm. All of these packages and tools are available from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN). Information on all things related to TeX can be found through the web site of the TeX Users' Group.
