well SOMEONE's insulted him - hey - blame me, I have broad shoulders!
OK - I'm gping to take your "concept" or "gimmick" as a given...
THEN it follows that I can see ONE great big change you REALLY need to make!
Take that header with disclaimer and make it into an /INCLUDE or macro - will sure as hell make the whole shebang easier on the eye.
For a more advanced twist on your take you might want to consider a couple of ideas that spring to my mind...
Layer on top or underneath a content manager (would show some real ability!)
An even showier thing - if you have time and inclination - would be to make a branch (maybe using above CMS) where registered visitors can involve their own plug-ins or modules... would require API.
HMMMMMMMmmm maybe I am taking it and running too far though?
Hope this is of some use - particularly the first thing which surely makes sense (copyright you may need in key areas - I know a bit about this after Ca. 30 years software development)
/me waits for comment on his reply....
and hey - one more thing - why don't you mention this/linkie it in your blog?
Probably because he just created it
In 10 minutes.
Thats a bit harsh
That was a compliment to his ability, not a rib. Obviously I liked the idea judging by my earlier posts.
oh right, so I've essentially insulted it by implying 10 minutes was harsh, bugger

It's an interesting concept, but like a coupe others, I was confused when I first saw it. I think making the red menu links underlined would really help!
/me waits to see where the site goes...
Once i had the initial code written (the C++) I had to check that it compiled and worked, as expected, and then had to convert it to HTML and add the syntax highlighting. I am not a big fan of HTML, and as such that took me the longest. Adding in all the span tags around the appropriate sections.
I thought you'd done something like created a custom TextMate theme and then just had it convert the document to HTML to get all the spans done for you.
I'd invert the text - not underline...
I like it, but only coders will get it. Anyone looking to hire you, their eyes will cross and they'll say your site is messed up! :laugh:
I am not to worried about it. The industry I have been looking to go into seems to have smart recruiters that get it. For example, I received a job offer from a Fortune 500 company because they stumbled across my blog/resume and then googled my name for more information, in their email to me they cited that it was my http://bertjwregeer.com/ website that made them make the offer.
