Really nice flash layout. I have some suggestions/comments though. Some of the loading times are a bit lengthy (things with animation and so on). The images on the slideshow on the main page look rough and edgy, but they don't look like that when you click on them on the bottom, maybe sort out some quality issue there. I don't know if it's possible, but the ability to highlight/copy from the flash could be helpful if someone wanted to quickly copy from resume.

On a side note, remove the ^^ and capitalize stuff in your resume like school and so on.

Don't use flash.

I got a white box for 30 seconds, and then I had to wait 20 seconds for each thumbnail to load the 1-100% thing, why do you want employers to work to see your work.

It should be easy and the site annoyed me.

dam it's still at 62% now!

Hope you take it into account.

Thanks Sam for the comment, I checked with several friends with different internet connections and usually the main page took like 1-2 seconds to load, because actually it just a bunch a kb that need to be loaded, but yeah I understand that when someone opens a page and after a few seconds don't sees anything, he gets annoyed.

I might create a simple html version that is available at the beginning with the option to flip to the flash version if someone really wants.

I like the flash layout, but at the same time i dont wanna wait all day for stuff to load, the way it all loads when you click on it should be changed it should all be preloaded in my personal opinion, so you only have to wait once for content instead of every time you click ...

loading

1



50



100%

yeah... after waiting for the character to load i clicked another, and well i left, because i'm sick of waiting

animation on the character looks nice i'm guessing your going for animation or is it 3d modeler? you should choose one and make up your mind on that i guess is my advice.

like the way it looks don't get me wrong just seems to be some confuzion in me when i look at it
