My personal shack on the net. Have a look at it, and give me those opinions !

(Every time you launch the site or hit refresh (F5), the random quote in the bottom right corner changes, btw)

I am aware of the fact that the site does not work correctly in Opera, but I can't find a solution for that problem.

I don't really like the fact that it's in two different windows. Otherwise, It's looking good.

Until Later...

Nice organisation, nice look. A bit too pop-uppy though.

I concur. You lost points when it didn't stay on page #1.

Everything else seems top grade. I noticed however, your pictures of yourself show you as much to happy. Try to put in some realistic moody shots. :wink:

I kinda like it. But the pop up main page is sorta dated. But it is a good solid design and it looks great. Having images pop up in a gallery like that wouldn't be so bad, but the main page.. I dont know.

I know, that quote is a bit too long to fit in the bottom right frame.
But I love the quote, so what do you do ... (the trick is to lower your
browser's font size)

Here's the quote (Douglas Adams)

It is an important and popular fact
that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet
Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than
dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars
and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in
the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always
believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely
the same reasons.

Would you guys prefer this lay-out then, without the pop-up ...

I would much prefer if the window correctly resized with the browser rather than just sitting in the center of the page, and if the font were larger. Also the pop-up-ness was quite annoying so I'm glad you changed that. I'm running Firefox/XP and the cursors don't change when hovering over the (+) and (-) thimajaigs.

That's nicer now, since I killed the original window thinking it was an
advert that slipped through, before I caught on! (Force of habit)

Nice layout though, I love sites that arent too heavy on the eye.

That's a CSS problem, unable to solve that.
.plusthing {

cursor: hand;

font-family: Verdana;

font-size: 10;

color: #000000;

margin-bottom: 20px;

}
the cursor:hand thing works in IE, but not in FF. The only way to have
FF change its cursor into a hand is to somehow make it believe that
that text is a link.

Anybody a solution ?

Well I will start off by saying that the lonk doesn't work for Firefox.
And also I would like to add... is it possible to make the site span
the size of your window? or is it meant to be seen in 800 x 600

I don't see how I could make the site span the window unless I use I-frames, and they tend to screw up in Firefox.

It's definitely better than that s**tty "Dimebowl.com" site.
I tried sniffing coke, but the ice cubes kept getting stuck in my nose.
