The theme has one flaw:

While I’m pretty sure that back in 2005 screen resolutions such as 800×600 were still common, in today’s world the theme is just too narrow for a big screen display, and too much space is lost.

This is especially a problem with a blog such as mine because I frequently use code samples, and lines can get pretty long.

My update:

So, I decided to keep the theme, but I modified it to make it exactly 200 pixels wider. I also added a Latest Posts display to the right navigation bar to improve the overall usability, and more importantly: Widget Support

Downloading the theme:
