My name is Lawrence Eng, and I worked for Opera Software between 2006 and 2011.

Opera Otaku is devoted specifically to Opera-related topics. I don't expect to keep this blog updated, but I might use it occasionally.

lainspotting is my general blog (devoted to otaku studies, science, technology, and (sub)culture).

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. I can also be found on Twitter: http://twitter.com/lawmune

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

Hey how do you make those banners? Can I get one? for my blog?

After you create your banner using an image editor, you can display it on your blog by editing the custom stylesheet. Click on "preferences", "web page layout", and then "custom style sheet".

This is not a long time that i am a member of the OPERA browser. But, i found this browser is very special and pleasant to work. I wish to OPERA team "good success". If i can help this browser to be known in province of Québec in Canada, it will be fantastic for me. Sorry for my english, but i am a french-canadian and proud to be one.

Hello, I saw your research that looks great! I think "hacker" and "otaku" both shares many points of similirity. Or "otaku" should be hacker specialized for anime.

Recently, I think it will be interesting that implementing visual novels on Opera widget. The heroine must be Opera-tan. lol

moochoux: "hacker" and "otaku" are similar, but different wink

re: visual novels on a widget - that's an interesting idea, especially for widgets on phones and other devices.

Thanks for writing!
