Using Word for Markdown
I love Notepad++. I love VS Code.
Neither however have the same level of comfort for article writing as Microsoft Word.
So really interested to try out this new plugin from http://www.writage.com
Currently the plugin is free. I suspect once it has been perfected then there will be a charge attached.
I plan on using of the next few articles to see if it works for me.
Ethical Hacking progress
I’m now 89% of the Pluralsight Ethical Hacking Path.
I’ve completed the following since last week:
Evading IDS, Firewalls, and Honeypots
Cloud Computing - No learning check
Contractor Process
I’ve made some updates to LinkedIn. I’ve updated red-folder.com (mainly the blog sections). And I’ve updated my CV on the job sites.
That last action generally produces a flurry of agency phone calls.
Agencies can subscribe to new or updated CVs being published – with the hope of giving them a jump on new candidates. I’ve no problem with this approach – it’s fairly proactive.
It does however generally result in a high level of low value contacts (for me and the recruiter). Part of it is because I have .Net in my CV. That drives a number of agencies to ring me before reading the CV.
It isn’t uncommon for me to receive a call from an agency who starts talking to me … only to tail off with a “oh … I see from your CV this wouldn’t be correct”. Or even better, they ready the large agency note I put at the top of my CV just as I answer the call.
So getting my CV out now (3 weeks before contract end), then hopefully I can sort the wheat from the chaff fairly early on … or at least that is the theory.
