cv.tex: Use blog DNS name instead of description 
It's not obvious that you can click the text in the PDF. We lose
the description this way, but oh well.

Curriculum Vitae for Alan Orth

A CV written in LaTeX using the moderncv class.

Sample

Here's what it looks like with real data, using the "classic" style and blue color scheme:

Why

I decided to start keeping my CV in LaTeX because:

  • I can never find my CV when I need it
  • I have dozens of files named resume.doc on my computer
  • LaTeX -> PDF ensures a consistent, beautiful layout
  • Writing your CV in a source-based language means you can track it in git (w00t!)

Usage

To "build" a PDF you simply type:

$ make

To clean up all generated and intermediate content, type:

$ make clean

Pre-requistes for building

Depending on your GNU/Linux distribution the package names may be different. Basically, you need the texlive package, as well as whichever "extras" package contains the moderncv stuff.

On Arch Linux:

$ sudo pacman -Sy texlive-core texlive-latexextra

On Fedora:

$ sudo yum install texlive texlive-moderncv

On Ubuntu:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports
$ sudo apt-get install texlive
$ sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install texlive-latex-extra

Mac OS X: download and install BasicTeX (a minimal TeXLive distribution) and then:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/texlive/2015basic/bin/x86_64-darwin
$ sudo tlmgr install collection-fontsrecommended
$ wget https://launchpad.net/moderncv/trunk/1.5.1/+download/moderncv-1.5.1.zip
$ unzip moderncv-1.5.1.zip
$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/texlive/2015basic/texmf-local/tex/latex/moderncv
$ sudo cp moderncv/*.sty moderncv/*.cls /usr/local/texlive/2015basic/texmf-local/tex/latex/moderncv
$ sudo mktexlsr

Others: send a pull request with instructions for your distro.
