Revamped personal site.

Ever since I bought some server space for myself to tinker around about 3 years ago, I've always had my own personal domain. It was kind of a "buy-hosting-get-1-lifetime-free-domain" thingy deal and at that time, the only domain name I could think of that I want to own for the rest of my life in 5 minutes was... my own name. *narcissistic pride*
Problem is, with all the tinkering that I do, I've always either bought specific domains names for any big projects I've worked on or utilized sub-domains for any of my personal pet projects. Hence, I never really actually got around to using the main index page for anything since I figured no one will visit (or know about) it anyway.
Recently though, I begin noticing that I'm getting a lot of random hits on my main page. It's weird because I've actually set the main page to not be indexed on any search engine yet according to Google Analytics, the page seems to be getting hits from people who typed in the domain name directly and not coming from a search engine. Weird. This means either:-
a) people are looking to purchase my domain
or
b) people are looking for details on me
I find (a) highly unlikely since my name ain't really that special or generic enough which means, it's most probably (b). Given that most of our lives in this day of age are pretty much search-able, why not make it more presentable then.
So, with red bull in hand and a few hours to burn, I sat down and finally re-did the
index page of my domain.
Simple and easy. I guess it will do for now. I'll add in more eye-candy when I have time to spare.
