Chipotle Calculator

I got this eye-opening Chipotle calculator spreadsheet (Excel) from a co-worker. It shows how many calories (and fat, and sodium, and carbs...) are in those huge Chipotle burritos, depending what you put on them.

The story goes that someone's at work's husband put this together using the nutrition facts at Chipotle's website. Anyway, it's good for a laugh.

PyLucene versus Lupy

I wonder why the OSAF folks created PyLucene instead of improving the existing Python port of Lucene 1.2, Lupy. Performance?

Well, it doesn't matter much, I guess. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to use one of these soon.

Fahrenheit 411

Here's an interesting idea: a wingnut wants to use Michael Moore's footage from F9/11 to make his own movie telling the other side of the story, called Fahrenheit 411. I think that would be pretty cool. Rip, mix, burn, and all that.

Is the one-page resume dead?

Here's a question I asked over on the Joel on Software forum:

In response to a recently job posting, we got a number of resumes, and none of them were in the "classic" one page format (almost all of them were terrible, but that's another story). This was for a senior software engineer position, so people with over 5 years of experience.

I've got three years of experience at my current job, plus a student developer job I had in college and an open source project on my resume. I always try to keep my resume one page, which limits the amount of stuff that I can put on there.

After seeing these resumes -- though most people had a few more years of experience than I do -- I'm wondering if the one page resume is dead. What do JoS readers think? Is your resume multiple pages?
