i'm still pretty positive that people visited my website and wrote comments about it and gave me feedback. i've noticed that these people are not just from Australia but all over the world and i am a bit stoked to hear some words.

yes, i'd agree on the bio comment slappy... but my resume and coverletter covers all that. i guess when i first wrote that bio i had all that information jumbled in my head and i just spat it out.
biographies are possibly the hardest thing to write about.
my myspace page is better.
"Asimov began collecting and spinning records first, within the depths of Brisbane house parties and progressed on to deejay in various venues in Brisbane over the last two and a half years.
Playing a mixture of jazzy beats, hip hop, funk anthems and sprinkle of indie dance, Asimov brought to the herd, music to get their dance shoes itching to hit the floor.
Asimov first began making beats in high school using Rebirth and Fruityloops, since progressing to using an Akai MPC with a stack of records and a loose cut n paste attitude."
but yeah... am rather tired and have some other work to do as i am freelancing at the moment.
thanks to all for the comments.

I think it better than the first one definitely. Its always hard building your own site. You can use your original bio speel, just rewrite it from your view.
ie
"Jeremy began in the area of online interactive work, including websites and flash games in 1998, when he began his study at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) while studying a Bachelor of Arts (Communication Design). He has also completed a Post Graduate Certificate at The Queensland College of Art and a Graduate Certificate in IT & Libraries at QUT."
becomes

etc.
- I would bring your centre column in to have the same margin on the right as it does on the left too.slappy

its pretty techie but then that might be good. i think the images are in the smallest size they could go. i would prefer larger but they are okay.

- Jeremy_Dowe0

so yeah, i think it is agreed that i'll publish the new version.

- i think i'll give it a rest. such a pain staking process designing a portfolio website. haven't done one in years.Jeremy_Dowe

Definitely better than the original. Some links don't work though. I can't click back to folio from the Kanye West page? And I really don't want to see his stupid face.

3rd person is lame. You're not famous and no one is writing about you...........
- Jeremy_Dowe0

have updated my website taking into consideration the comments above.

I still find talking about yourself in 3rd person weird.

redesign needed.
stick with your css'ing skills for time being, and design at the sidelines until you're better.
- that was the exact problem i had in the previous company i worked at.Jeremy_Dowe
- Jeremy_Dowe0
awwe thanks guys.
i feel like people have take notice both positive and positive constructive criticism.
i will post again once i've made changes and designed to the grid etc.
- designbot0
Finally a portfolio that isn't in blog format!
Nice work.
- dearhead0
yeah, eliminate the unnecessary. stay simple. surprise with class. dazzle us with color, grid, don't go the route of adding for the sake of adding.

i would ask what the point of teh clock is on the top right?
A. i dont know how to find out the time, and i am checking your site for that information.
B. you found a script that can make the time come up and you want everyone to be impressed by that.
not trying to be a dick, but sometimes people need a stiff shaking to regain their senses.
- Jeremy_Dowe0
ok. yeah get the point.
