Double Sharps in LaTeX

I fought for a while with LaTeX * to get a double sharp, since there isn’t one in their standard fonts. Maybe this might save someone else the same trouble:

[for the header]
\usepackage{pifont}

[for the double sharp itself]
\raisebox{.01em}{\kern-.19em\scalebox{.6}{\rotatebox[origin=c]{45}{\ding{67}}}}\kern-.017em

It’s not perfect, but it’s better than \divideontimes. If someone has a better way, by all means, let me know!

* - [It’s a typesetting program, pronounced lah-te-ch…]

New CV Layout

With help from super-neighbor Katy Carter of okradesign.com, my CV now looks a good deal more like a professional document, and a lot less like something that got into a bad fight with Microsoft Word. See the shiny new (InDesign) version here. [The old version lives here (…though it’s not for the faint of heart!)]
