Redshigen # Monday, November 12, 2007 4:19:56 PM

...You know me. I'm just nosy.

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Monday, November 12, 2007 4:23:38 PM

Thank god the double line breaks will disappear on the next My Opera release.

Redshigen # Monday, November 12, 2007 4:28:38 PM

Those really annoy the crap outta me...

Dark FurieFurie # Monday, November 12, 2007 4:45:34 PM

Oh hell yeah. Any idea if HTML will work in comments again? My group's crying.

fritter # Monday, November 12, 2007 5:10:33 PM

Espen's first picture just looks like he was scared of the camera flash! He's got faster-than-light reactions times so when the flash went off, his eyes were shut before the photo was taken!

Wish I had a super power like that

I thought it was from a Tony Hawk game box at first.

This doesn't look like revenge to me

I think the big Edit Post button over my post is a hint.

I'm going to wake up and find myself photoshopped onto gay animal porn and added to my own post.

Either that or I'll find myself added to the "Opera is down, go away for now" screen. Actually, how do you volunteer for that? It should be a competition prize someday.

Varishvarish # Tuesday, November 13, 2007 3:07:12 AM

Why is the "Edit post" button's image on the main image ?? Is this a hint to some one ?

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Tuesday, November 13, 2007 9:33:49 AM

i get 25 items in my list and it takes almost an hour to open them 25 pages

Sounds like your computer is struggling — or our servers. It should not take that long, and there's nothing I can do to "fix" it, unfortunately.

Why is the "Edit post" button's image on the main image ?? Is this a hint to some one ?

Maybe.

This is gonna be fun.

Spaggyj # Tuesday, November 13, 2007 2:02:16 PM

Assassin's Creed looks awesome.

Mik ya better hope beyond hell I'm not involved in the atrocity you've started.

Sashathe scribblers itch # Wednesday, November 14, 2007 11:56:53 AM

I like the spirit in which you take this... and I love Furie's creativity!

Dark FurieFurie # Wednesday, November 14, 2007 11:58:15 AM

That'll be the Opera. It feels good to know people are up for a laugh here.

KimberlySqueakeyCat # Thursday, November 15, 2007 2:36:48 AM

fritter # Friday, November 16, 2007 4:17:01 PM

I wondered why we haven't seen much of Espen today!

Redshigen # Saturday, November 17, 2007 1:04:23 AM

...Did I miss anything?

Dark FurieFurie # Saturday, November 17, 2007 1:14:19 AM

Nope. Whatever he's planning is taking some time. My money's on feeding me to Unicron, but I may be wrong...

Redshigen # Saturday, November 17, 2007 1:33:10 AM

Hmm...

If he doesn;t, then maybe I will~!

HAHAH!!!

Dark FurieFurie # Saturday, November 17, 2007 1:34:27 AM

Rhona Kirstenrhona # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 1:51:48 PM

Furie, does he really read blogs for a living?
I think I like it

(Ur blog that is)

Spaggyj # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 2:29:29 PM

Rhona, Espen's the head moderator I think. (Or something to that effect.)

Dark FurieFurie # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 2:35:12 PM

He does read them for a living. Poor guy has to put up with 18,000 people giving details of their cats lives every day. Not to mention having to read every single Pokemon battle post on here to make sure no-one uses a power they shouldn't have, and the fact that a lot of people on here TaLk LiKe ThIs has gotta be bad for his eyesight. It's awful

Varishvarish # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 2:46:12 PM

Yup Espen is the community Manger. And he does read all the blogs (I guess he does read all the blogs) BTW Espen why don't you write a blog on ur experience being Community Manager at My Opera & reading around 18,0000 blogs a day ?

Dark FurieFurie # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 2:58:59 PM

Espen why don't you write a blog on ur experience being Community Manager at My Opera & reading around 18,0000 blogs a day?

Cause he'd go mad.

7am - Just about to start reading blogs for a living. But first the daily clean up of the site by banning everyone who joined last night and posted porn.

9am - Finally finished with the banning, and it's time to start reading blogs. Just for one day I hope no-one mentions their cats.

10am - Enough with the cats already. They're not even cute.

1pm - Wow, something interesting at last. Someone's celebrating their anniversary. They've been together for 15 years. Awww, ain't that sweet. They've spent every day together ever since she... "bought Mr Miggles" Oh, not another one!!!

7pm - Still reading about cats. I really hate cats now. Why does everyone on the internet have a damn cat?

10:15pm - Just had 89 friend requests from new members who joined, saw me on the frontpage and added me. I don't even get the luxury other members get of complaining about the friend request system publically and Fred just throws week old cabbages at me when I ask him to sort it out.

1:30am - Some guy put my picture on his blog with a badly edited song. I've got to pretend to think it's funny to keep up the community face but I'll be sobbing myself to sleep again. Why are they so mean?

Spaggyj # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 3:07:54 PM

Dark FurieFurie # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 3:09:22 PM

Ooo, I love the way the comment gets darker as it goes further down. Got to steal that effect.

Varishvarish # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 3:18:28 PM

The gradient effect in the comments is

fritter # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 3:29:26 PM

It's an anti-drivel system. If your comment is too long it finally turns black and noone can read your insanely long comment!

It's to stop people falling asleep on My Opera.

Dark FurieFurie # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 3:39:08 PM

It doesn't turn completely black, and it starts again once the effect goes on too long. Which would take a lot of comment. But still it's a really cool effect (just what I was looking for to set my comments aside, but still be subtle) and I've now stolen it. Well, figured out how he did it and made one myself anyway. I'm gonna have to experiment with some different colours next.

fritter # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 3:48:39 PM

Pah, ruin my joke. Fine.

Dark FurieFurie # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:02:19 PM

Fine.

It turns completely black and cuts off your comment. I thought there was something wrong with my phone. I cried and cried as I tried to choose what to edit out of my comment.

Happy now?

fritter # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:05:39 PM

Excellent. I'm breaking you bit by bit! you will soon be under my control!

Dark FurieFurie # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:14:39 PM

*realises the false sense of security is complete and fries Fritter with a lightning bolt*

fritter # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:18:59 PM

*cough... splutter*

I'm getting a portable Faraday cage built. These divine lightning bolts are happening too often.

Espen André ØverdahlEspenAO # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:27:20 PM

Good god, I just logged on again after a meeting and saw that I had 14 new comments to this post.

And yes; I do read blogs for a living (among other things). It was just a title I thought was suitable for my blog as it's somewhat biased. I'm revealing my personal life on this space, even though I'm obliged to it (in many ways) work-wise.

The blog comment effect is just something I enjoy experimenting with. I enjoy customizing my own space on My Opera.

A work day for me is usually responding to a lot of internal feedback, questions and comments about My Opera — as well as moderating the site (content-wise). I enjoy my work, even though the thin boundary between work and personal life has completely evaporated.

I try to run My Opera as it was my own personal site. Maybe I should write a post about how it is to be the editor of My Opera. It is fascinating and I meet a lot of cool people. I've even met many of them offline.

Spaggyj # Wednesday, November 21, 2007 4:30:32 PM

That'd be interesting to read
