# Resume
This is my resume written in troff using the ms macros
## Required Dependencies on Systems That are Not Plan9
* groff
* ghostscript
## Required Dependencies on Plan9
* troff
* lp
* ps2pdf
## Build My Resume on Systems That Are Not Plan9
In the root of this repository, run the following command
```
make
```
The resulting resume file will be named `resume.pdf` and should be
found in `build/resume.pdf`.
If you prefer to build the pdf file without the use of my Makefile, the
following command can be run in the root of this repository
```
groff -Tpdf -ms -t -P-p11i,8.5i resume.ms > /path/for/resume.pdf
```
where /path/for/resume.pdf is the path you would like resume.pdf to be
saved to.
## Build My Resume on Plan 9
In the root of this repository, run the following command
```
./build-plan9
```
The resulting resume file will be named `resume.pdf` and should be
found in `build/resume.pdf`.
If you prefer to build the pdf file without the use of the build-plan9
shell script file, the following command can be run in the root of this
repository
```
troff -ms resume.ms | lp -dstdout | ps2pdf > path/for/resume.pdf
```
where /path/for/resume.pdf is the path you would like resume.pdf to be
saved to.
## Why Write My Resume In Troff?
My resume used to be written in LaTeX, which is what a lot of academics
tend to use for writing academic papers. In order to build my resume
that was written in LaTeX though, I relied on a set of programs called
"TeX Live".
It worked very well, but updates were very frequent and often times
greater than 1GB in file size each time an update happened. Troff is a
lot smaller when installed on my computers. This makes my resume a
little more "future proof" in case I'm in a situation where my internet
access is heavily limited for an extended period of time compared to
what it is at the moment.
