Personal page. Tell me what you think.

Finished the skeleton for a site where I plan to put my schoolwork on. Take a look, all comments are appreciated.
I'm especially interested in speed issues, the page turned out quite script-heavy, and I wonder if it halts slower machines (that is slower than my p3-500/128).

Hey GREAT site!! I love the miniml look, its what Im aiming for too. Sites like this load fine, loaded with the browser window on my machine. NICE work!!

First off, i like your site! good job, everything is coherent and works perfectly. However.. its absolutley tiny on my screen! I understand you were probably going with minimalistic intentions, though. If anything, i would widen / heighten it just a little, but other than that, great job!

Thanks, guys;
on the size issue:
the base component is embedded at size 500:300, so it takes roughly half of the screen space on a 1024x768, but as resolution goes up to 1600x1200, it does become a little tedious to read. I experimented with a jscript solution to change embed size depending on the screenres, but since the fonts scale not in size, but rather in typeface size, the page loses its look. (verdana at 8 looks almost pixel, while the same verdana at 12 gives me a useit.com flashback )

Nice site man, but maybe try to make 2 sites, for each resolution . Basicly an copy but bigger

Nice and crisp.

IMO the size is fine. If you had more text it may be a problem, but a few paragraphs is fine. Keep it the way it is. I don't hear too many people dissing miniml.com's size - and it appears smaller.
BTW - I am running 1280 x 1024 on a 19" monitor.
I'll await more examples in the 'sketches' section...
