My quick web search didn't show anything without caveats, but if there's any decent javascript that can be used to make the mouse wheel scroll the page sideways, that would be a really nice addition.

This site has implemented this. http://vitaminsdesign.com/projects/lego-calendar/

Their JS in not minified, you may want to take a look.

Great design but loads slow. Wish it's as snappy as it's beautiful

upgrade, it was near instant for me and I have a crappy dell i5 laptop running Ubuntu

I did something like that on my personal site, eg. http://jonasneubert.com/projects/printablegeography

To accommodate for small screens/windows it scrolls down until it hits the bottom and then goes right. On the way back it scrolls up first, until it reaches the top, then towards the left.

kind of similar to my CV: http://stbr.me/blog/files/cv.pdf (edit: which I did in latex)

That looks great! While cramming up all information into a page of two, a time line would really help. Please share the source if you can.

Feel absolutely free to use this as a starting point to make your own. I tried to separate the concerns layout and graphics a bit -- but it's ofc a bit hacky. This is a CV, not software, after all. I'd appreciate to see what you did with it :)

Smells of TikZ! Very nicely done.

It indeed is tikz. Source is on github.

Hm, I'll try to find it and put it on github some time :) I'll update you on that. Thanks!

I love Latex and I'd love to build upon what you have done!
