BrowserUk: Here's a quickie gnuplot script to show the log/log behaviour of the expN function.

# bloom_exp_chart.plt

set term pdf

# expression parameters

N=2500
Xmax=10*N

# chart parameters

set output "foo_log_xy.pdf"
set logscale xy

plot [1:Xmax]  (1-exp(-x/N)),    (1-exp(-x/N))**2, (1-exp(-x/N))**3, (
+1-exp(-x/N))**4, \
               (1-exp(-x/N))**5, (1-exp(-x/N))**6, (1-exp(-x/N))**7, (
+1-exp(-x/N))**8

• I think I'd keep the sidebar fixed size, rather than letting it grow/shrink. I don't know the size on mine, but it's pretty narrow (perhaps 20% wide).
• Chatterbox text input box should be as wide as possible. Currently has a vacant area to the left. Also, it may be nice to have it a bit taller, so more of a longer message can be visible, such as room enough for two lines instead of only one line, so scrolling through it would be a bit nicer.
• Thanks for darkening the background on the code, it looks great. I also love the fact that the download link is no longer necessary.
• I'd suggest swapping the Login button and the Remember Me checkbox, as I think it'll be a bit better aligned visually with the username and password.
• Wrapped "Others in monestary". I like the wrapping to save space, but would suggest a line break after the "As of date/time".
• Some visual marker for marking the nodelets would be good. Outdenting the nodelet names a bit, or a light rule between them, changing the foreground text color for headings, or changing the background color (wouldn't need much, just enough to make the different nodelets a bit more obvious.
• I don't like giving away screen space needlessly, so I'd shrink the footer a little bit. (Then again, I'll be logged in, and can remove the fixed attribute from the footer style thing. So it's probably one of the items to ignore.)
