Overall, pretty decent I guess. Couple things though:

If you're going to distinguish between professional and casual, I suggest you keep the casual as professional as possible. If someone does come there and decide to contact you professionally, they will likely look around the personal part of the sight briefly to get an idea as to what kind of person you are. At least, I would.

The margins have been mentioned, so I won't say anything more on that.

I actually like the color scheme for the most part. I don't know how green shows up to a color blind user, but white text on green usually seems to work for most people. Your links, however, don't show up well on the background. The blue is a little hard to read, and the purple (the visited color) is very hard to read.

Also, as mentioned, stay away from the 1337. It's really not as cool as it looks. And it is most commonly associated with ignorant wanna-be programmers, or worse, script-kiddies. Unless you want to portray yourself that way, avoid it.

Just my $.02

...and that's being kind. Using leet to convince people you're technically savvy is like waving your dick at everyone who walks by to convince 'em you're a manly stud. There's no real correlation. These days it mostly means you're a wannabe pretender.

If you want stupid and shitty writing shoved through your eye (but some people think it's funny...) then read my anti-1337 manifesto. It explains why 1337 sucks.
