not yet done a visualization draft, but at least yesterday I re-layouted (re-ordered) it and learned some things about my (work) life by that

Yet I drafted a (too) simple visualization of my CV. – It’s black/white only, yet, but I might prefer it to be colourized to make easier to learn what interconnects/relates/lead to which other part.
Until right now, I imagined colorizing the whole sheet by spots blurring into each other and specially light colored spots bringing attention to the more important “stations” in my life, but I just realized thin lines between the “stations” could as well serve as visual c(l)ues without bombing the “reader”/seer with colour.
Applying the lines might be done easily. And while the auto-scaling of the inscribed graph is not yet done, using thin lines might ease this task over trying to accomplish it aiming at using bold blurred lines, blurring the spots into each other.
Because of all the voluntary jobs and internships, main jobs vs foreign interests, my CV grew rather large. – Who’d ever read it in complete – and even get the whole picture?
To ease that, I want a visualization of my CV – equally useful for presentations – which relates what I learnt (capabilities) to other things I learnt (e.g. on one axis) and things which I did for profession in parallel to that – making immediately clear what my key features are and which are not – to avoid people going on to get it wrong.
To do this – achieve this goal –, first I need a draft. Second, I need to make it perfect.
Would be nice if the final thing automatically would scale to whatever dimensions the area has I’ll put the babe onto. Might be an issue of imagemagick, dot file, SVG or something else that scales perfectly.
However, despite I need such a babe now, I don’t have the time not, to get it done now. Hence, I put it onto my 43things list, so I can tackle it when I’ll be having some idle time.
