Actually, I am impressed. You qualify as a Greybeard, but that's probably one of the reasons you don't get contacted. Someone finding your resume is going to assume that you're too expensive. Heck, I only have 10 years of experience and I'm regularly told that I'm too expensive even though I don't ask more than what I currently earn.

Well, I have my cv online too and I didn't even bother hiding my personal details. However, you'll notice that I do write French, so if you want a French translation, I'd be glad to help.

To be honest, it's most likely a regional thing. I have complained about this many times and I do have "personal experience" on my CV. However, in my country this really seems to have a negative impact. I never once had someone actually even ask about it and I only get called for Java jobs (mainly because of my "experience" I guess).

You can always take a look at my resume. Positive criticism is always welcomed.

I wasn't attacking you personally, I was just ranting because I've been trying to get a Unix job for sooooo long, that it's becoming frustrating. (Okay, last contract work was Linux/C development, but now it's back to Java/Windows... *sigh*)

Actually, you can have such a thing. You just need a lot of money. My wifes uncle (okay, actually all three of her uncles) is carpenter. You can bet they have the fanciest furniture because they can make it themselves. So, I went there to troubleshoot this guys computer and, indeed there was this ugly-beige box hidden within a compartment in his fancy desk. Now, I know you mean that the machine should be integrated completely. Well, I asked him why he hadn't done such a thing. I then showed him how modular and easy it is to build a PC (I just opened up his). He didn't know that a PC was so simple of structure, after all he never saw one open. So, yes, he said that if it's that easy one could easily create a "computer-desk".

Perhaps he has already started building one ;-) Hey, I'd like one but I can't afford the kind of furniture this guy makes.

Oh, and perhaps you might like a thing I once did.... Not exactly what you want, but much cheaper to do!

Don't feel bad: I let a P-I 233MMX case be modded by an artist. It had to look like a weathered block of bronze:

(The pics don't really do the case justice and please be gentle to my 128kbps upstream)

He did a really fine job (and for free, don't you love artists in your family *grin*)

I'm looking for a way to upgrade the content, so that its looks are matched at least halfway by its performance.

I'll research in the unattended install. But honestly the registry patches work like a charm.

And here you go: winnapp-patch.zip
Please be gentle to my 256/64Kbps ADSL line, okay? Besides, this is only to get rid of Program Files. Getting rid of "My Documents" (et al) is quite easy once you get the hang on the registry. Perhaps, I'll summarize how to do it when I got more time: I already have a draft lying around (just notes jotted down).
Hope it well help some people.
