Stylistic comments are welcome, I'm after compatibility.
IE should show a pretty lame version, but I only have ie 6 to view it with. Is it functional there and not ugly?
Firefox and Opera should show a nicer version with a menu bar, and a ball in the top-left corner. Firefox (the version I'm using) is doing fine with it. How are the other browsers y'all are using handle it? (I only have konqueror to test, but I might install opera if the site's broken in opera)
Sneaky. I've done something evil and hijacked my own domain. Don't worry, mine will follow soon. (It's not unheard of to put your phone number in your online resume)
See, here's how it goes. A little bird near me, who happens to work in HR for a large company, recently told me that he couldn't help me get a job because of my website. The content on my website would basically get him fired if he recommended the company associate themselves with me like that. I know, I know, not much of a free society.
So I've spun off my old site and have it hidden right now, it will reappear with all personally identifying information removed (but the content otherwise intact), and will then head in a direction to protest the situation.
In the meantime, my old website accumulated a certain presence, and now for any search with my name in it or my wife's, it appears first in the list (hence the blockage, had it been 2-3 pages deep, no problem). So I've done my googling, determined which pages a prospective employer is likely to visit (minding you that I'm currently unemployed) and have setup apache redirects to take the prospective employer to the page he most needs to see. Which will be an ajax-powered resume in a bit, but I wanted the basic framework for the website established first, and the layout.
So now anybody that looks at a resume I've turned in and immediately goes and googles my name will see nothing but good stuff (because the little bird told me that all the other stuff you see when you google my name is Very Good, it's just my own website that's not).
My wife was collateral damage. I mentioned her actual name once, but with the presence of the site it was enough to raise that page to the top of results with her name in it, and it happened to be on an aggregate page that contained words like "crapper" and some words these forums filter automatically. Essentially making us both unhirable, apparently.
Why this little bird waited until we were almost out of money to mention something like that is yet to be determined.
I'll put it all together in a nice article to launch the new and improved version of my old site, and any of you who wants to troll the whole internet is welcome to come and start writing on it, invited even. (Except hyphy)
Ahhh, finally, an IE report. I only have IE6 to test with.
Would it be too much trouble to get a screenshot of IE7? (I'd install it, but the only reason I even have IE6 right now is because my wife's taking an online course that doesn't work in IE7)

How's this? The "Resume" link is white since I had the pointer hovered over it.
