A new feature has been presented in the latest weekly build of Opera, its called "speed dial". You can see a small screenshot of it on the right.
Its basically a list of the sites with thumbnails you can click on and that will open you the site, oh and it also has a search field on the top.
So get it, and test it out!

You can get the weekly build here: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/785941
P.S make sure you read "Known issues" part before installing

For those of you who want to change the search engine in the field at the top of the speed dial: opera:config#UserPrefs|SpeedDialSearchType

Oh, and one more thing, tomorrow there's a chat with Jon von Tetzchner one of the Opera founders, so feel free to join in and ask him a couple of questions, more info on the chat can be found here: http://my.opera.com/WebApplications/blog/2007/02/23/web-developer-chat-jon-von-tetzchner

If you haven't heard already there's an IRC chat room for Opera Community in Opera's IRC network, so come join us at irc://irc.opera.com/myopera (You can just click on the link if you're using Opera web browser).

You might be wondering what's up with the pic of this car, that's my model car I got for Christmas when I was a kid. Its a model of Ferrari F-40. I hope some day I'll get the real one, but for now I can at least look at it

Weather is freezing cold outside, right now its -19C, tonight it should get to -26C, though if it'll reach at least -24C I'll get to skip school, that's the law

I also got to test out new blog statistics, its great, lets hope it'll be available for the masses soon. Oh, and as you've probably read, there should be a community upgrade soon

P.S Opera Mini 3.1 was released today, you can read more about it here: http://my.opera.com/operamini/blog/2007/02/21/opera-mini-3-1-released

Paaarty!!!

Weeks just seem to be flying through really fast, lets hope soon enough we'll have good weather again, because all that wind, snow and cold is driving me nuts.

Somehow school isn't that hard anymore, and I even kind of enjoy it now. End of semester is here already, and I need to try harder on some subjects, I'm generally happy with my results, as I haven't tried much to change my marks.

I'm still learning to use my camera better, so far I love it, though I'm still going to buy new lens for it, I'm thinking of cheap Sigma 55-200mm lens, and right now I'm using Zuiko DIGITAL 17.5-45mm, so it lacks "zoom" power. If any of you know where I can buy it online for a decent price feel free to let me know.

Also Windows Vista is out already, imho its nowhere near MAC OS X, and as I can't afford an Apple computer I'm still sticking with my Ubuntu, with neat Beryl effects. Also there's a great post about Vista on Alex's blog, check it out

BTW: If you're using IRC be sure to visit IRC.opera.com #webapps chat room on February 1st at 5:00 PM CET, there will be a chat with our server monkey Ole Kasper Olsen about server side web stuff.

Today I took my camera to school, to take some pics, this one is by far the most interesting one imho, so look and tell me what do you think:
