I've just updated my CV again, and I was wondering if anyone had any critques on its latest incarnation?

I see you took my advice; I feel flattered. So needless to say, there's not much further I can tell you. You should probably find something to start off the "A wide range of networking and communication skills" bullet, as it doesn't quite flow with the rest of that section (perhaps "Knowledgeable in" or "Familiar with" or something similar, though they're not perfect). Your last bullet under SNT Satcom needs an "and" after the comma, and a trailing period, and even the PDF version is slightly weirdly aligned, but those are the only outright problems I see.

You may want to fiddle with sizing or page breaks or something to make it evenly fit the two pages; perhaps bump up the font size a notch or two and have some work history spill over onto the second page. And if you could come up with some sensible categories, you might want to subdivide the "skills" section a bit, as it's still a bit daunting (perhaps "languages", "software", and "systems" or something), but for all I know it'd make it worse. Anyway, the first page is now outstanding, and if it doesn't get you an interview somewhere, then you didn't want to work there.

Oh yeah, in the third bullet for Terrascale, "Installed" shouldn't be capitalized. "Kernel" and "User" technically shouldn't either, but they both look fine as-is so you could probably get away with leaving them.

This is the level of pickiness you've reduced me to. Well done.
