Opera Otaku

This is the voice of Free Opera

STICKY POST

What this blog is about:

download OperaMy name is Lawrence Eng, and I work for Opera Software. This is one of my two blogs.

Opera Otaku is devoted specifically to Opera-related topics. lainspotting is my general blog (devoted to otaku studies, science, technology, and (sub)culture). Every once in awhile, however, there will be some crossover posts. I also post occasionally on Choose Opera. Please feel free to join that group.

If you found this blog while searching for my otaku studies research, please proceed to the following webpage: Lawrence Eng's Anime Fandom Research. My primary website is Lawmune's Netspace.

Thanks for reading; I hope you find something interesting here.

Going to BarCamp

, ,

This Saturday, I'll be at BarCamp San Diego 3. I'll be talking to people about Opera, of course.



We're also a sponsor, as is Microsoft. In fact, this BarCamp is being held at Microsoft's San Diego office. Should be interesting :wink:

Opera Watch 2.0 is ready to go!

Two days ago, Opera Watch 2.0 was announced, which will retain Daniel Goldman as an Opera blogger. The big news, however, is that he'll be joined by a brand new team of Opera Watch bloggers, most of whom are very active on My Opera and Choose Opera. These guys really know Opera well, and they're not afraid to share their opinions (positive and negative). I really look forward to following the new direction of Opera Watch, and who knows, maybe they'll be nice and let me contribute something now and then :wink:

Always getting better: Opera Mini 4.1 beta released today

,

Here's the press release: Your phone's best friend: the new Opera Mini

Official download page with information on the new features

Announcement, extra info, and forum links on the Opera Mini blog: Opera Mini 4.1 beta available for testing!

Guided tour video

I've tried it out, of course, and the new features (autocomplete, direct address input, search within the address bar, find in page) are all great, and browsing feels even faster than before (if that's possible).

Note: I'm currently using a Samsung SPH-M610 on Sprint (borrowed from Opera) until I get a new phone.

Thanks, Daniel

I just wanted to offer my best wishes to Daniel Goldman, who has decided to move on from Opera to pursue new opportunities. Opera Watch certainly won't be the same, but I hope it will continue on in one form or another. I've always enjoyed working with Daniel because, like myself, he was an active Opera fan even before joining the company.

I hope he'll be an active member of the My Opera community that he helped to build up, and where he'll always be welcome.
