My resume is now written in groff (with the ms macros) instead of

LaTeX. This change allowed me to uninstall TeX Live. The main issues

I have had with TeX Live are that there were constant updates that

seemed to happen every few days and the updates would be between 1 and

3 GB in size each time an update would occur. Groff is only about 4 MB

in size and tends to be installed by default on a lot of Unix-like

operating systems. This means I should be able to update and build my

resume whether I'm running a Linux distro, OpenBSD, Plan9, HaikuOS,

OpenIndiana, etc...

The only issue I have with groff is that it's hard to find the

general documentation I need and a search on DuckDuckGo, Bing, and

Google tends to lead me very far from what I'm actually looking for. A

benefit though is a lot of man pages are written with a similar syntax,

so I am more equipped to write man pages by switching from LaTeX to

groff.

Unrelated, but I started using NetSurf as my default web browser and

that browser makes me very happy. I learned about it when watching a

video about Plan9. NetSurf reminds me a bit of when I used Netscape

Navigator in school. It has support for HTML 4.01 and CSS2, but not

much support for HTML 5, CSS3, and essentially no support for

Javascript. I love NetSuft mostly because of, rather than in spite of,

those details.
