It's just a matter of choice, Scout :)
Also, there is a link on the main page (the one Sir linked to) to view the source, but, for those of us who have an SVN client (like TortoiseSVN) and wish to checkout, the repository is located at https://knightos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/knightos (You can find this on the website, but it takes a few steps, so, for convenience, I've pasted it here.)

I'd like to have an online database of files like that, most people like the *ooh shiny* designs, but I like to keep it to that style :D

The link on the main page that I mentioned is this one: http://knightos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/knightos/
That's probably the one you should use if you don't have a SVN client :P (Though, if you really do like viewing the other one in a browser, then by all means, go ahead :))

I like the place where DJ keeps his songs too, it looks old-school :D

HOWEVER, Google Code's archive is very cool too.

Back to topic, on Cemetech, Kermm told KnightOS his header is quite large, and I agree with him. Do you?

Kerm had said that the header was too large, and that he had to scroll a lot to get to the data he was looking for.

Hey, I got a special thanks! Cheers.  At a ten-second glance, my only criticism is that vast expanse of wasted space in the header that makes me scroll unnecessarily to see the page contents, but otherwise looks good.

First of all, do you agree that sir's website's header is a bit too big?

Secondly, I like the way Google Code has the files to be downloaded

Again, it's a matter of preference :)
As for the header, it's Sir's site to change as he will. He'll probably take our suggestions, though.

It's not the preference, it's functionality, as Kermm said you have to make unnecessary scroll :S

When I said preference, I was still referring to your comment on Google Code ;)
I probably should clarify my statements more, as I've already had to clarify for you in several other topics :-[

Probably it's just my low comprehension of life when I sleep only 5 hours :S

I think it looks nice as it is. (the site, that is). I always forget that SourcrForge lets you use your own designs instead of the default one. As for Google code vs Sourceforge it depends of preferences, I guess. Some people prefer Codeplex.

Sir, you might want to fix the Omni/Cemetech/Ticalc links on the sidebar, though. They lead to the wrong locations. :P

You can view the sourcecode here and download it. It's in the sidebar on the main page.
Also, having a big header, while it may be a matter of functionality, it also is a matter of preference, because some people do like big headers. I agree though it should be cut down a little, maybe get rid of some of the space between the title and the link-bar.

EDIT: Why am I not mentioned at all on the site? D':

He forgot you...
He'll probably add you since you've brought it to his attention :)
