I’m guilty of writing shitty cover letters (I’m amazed I ever got a job). NPR Ed has a great write-up about cover letters. While it’s in the context of internship seekers, it all rings true for a job seeker as well. It’s also true for students. My name’s only been on the university website as […] Really not so much a “maker space” as a “discover space”. It’s basically a library version of a maker space. Find it here: https://library.concordia.ca/locations/technology-sandbox/. An interesting concept if you have no experience with arduino, 3D printing, VR gear and more.

Now I recently participated in […] Several inkscape+latex+psfrag users have been complaining for quite a while now about the changes in cairo. I periodically forget how to kludge my way through while I wait for the situation to stabilize and I have to search the tubes for a couple hours before I remember all the details, so […] An interesting presentation by Paul Adams on how online social networks are not built at all in the same way real life networks are.
