Ignorant people just piss me off. Opera isn't called the most customizable browser for no reason you moron. Seriously. Some teenagers should have their XBox rights repealed and forced to read books.

In other news, has anyone compared the performance of uTorrent and Opera's torrent client? Is uTorrent faster like this person claims it to be? As far as I could tell, the speeds while slow, were reliable and the options were all black-boxed to tell me exactly what I wanted to know and nothing more nothing less. Thoughts?

And here I was, about to make seperate webpages

for each slide.

Damn. All I needed to do was look a little harder (Open the link in Opera, and hit F11 like the tutorial says). Opera already has a slide show generator.

And although you need a little css and xhtml experience, that's not too big a barrier to cross now is it?

More widgets

If you haven't switched to opera yet and have put all your faith in vista/google desktop gadgets, poor you. I pity thee mere mortal.

With widgetize's magic, now every page that has an RSS feed can be widgetized. "But how Dr. Alamandrax? How is that possible?" you ask. fawnfawnfawn... (me laughing in a condescending french manner) and then point you here.

Let me make it simpler for you. Download this jscript file and save it to a secure location (somewhere that you wouldn't possibly delete/purge often). I used C:\Documents and Settings\[Your user name]\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\Widgetize\

Next, navigate to Tools>Preferences>Advanced>Javascript Options and add the path to the Widgetize folder in the box provided. Voila! Opera9 should get you your widgets.

Did ... you ... just ... see ... what ... I ... did?!

Goddamn this is Nice. Wait. Nice is too simple. This is freaking fantastic. What the @$%#! Opera rolls out a new feature. Widgetize any page which has an RSS feed. my.opera.com happens to have XML feeds for ALL pages. I mean ALL pages. If there are comments on a particular post, you can get a feed for those too apart from the regular feed for the posts on the front page. Then you get feeds from feeds, (the links page) and the Friends page, Freaking fantastic! Again. At a loss for adjectives. :smile: :drunk:

Here's what a part of my desktop looks like now.If you thought that was the best part, it even rolls up to form a smaller unobtrusive part of your desktop. Like so. Once again, 
while(fanboy == me) {
    dryhump(Opera);
}
  • The widget has the same skin as the blog does
  • Access to each post
  • Smooth animation
  • Help on how to make your own widget
etc etc.

What was that? You want one? You need one? You crave one? You can't have one. You need Opera 9 first. Bitch!

Also, in case you were wondering, the backgrounds come from Microsoft's NZ page. Lots of wallpapers proposed for Vista apparently.

Of Hardware erotica and Webstandards

Wednesday, 17. May 2006, 16:54:02

I'm a bi-platform person. Yes. I go both ways. I need the Windows PC to run my major applications (MATLAB, LabVIEW, gaim) for which, I admit, there are mac versions. However, me being able to buy an Apple Macintosh leave alone install stuff which I need valid licenses for is a pipedream at best.

I need the Macintosh for my daily "feel good about myself" moments. And they've got some wicked... ummm widgets... and stuff. Point is, the trailers play really well on the iMacs. The slashdot article (last night) about web pages being web compliant got me testing all my browsers (iMac and windows flavors) for ACID2 compliance. I tried Safari on the iMac and it passed beautifully. Firefox on the Mac was awful. So was Opera for the Mac. I didn't try IE for Mac. It's not supported now anyway. Who cares.

On the PC, IE7beta2, of course, was worse than Firefox on the iMac. The latter was atleast making an effort. I won't risk installing Flock on either platform. That thing's waay too buggy. Even for a beta. Firefox on the PC is still, much better than IE7beta2. Opera of course, passes the test.

All of this is fine and good, but what's the point if even after all of this, the opera community website in itself is buggy when run in Opera? Is it my platform? Or is it because I've got too little RAM backing up the processing needed? Whatever the case, sorting images in the photos section is a pain if you want to drag and drop to a particular location. The javascript works fine in Firefox, but in Opera, it's delayed and very much dependent on the number of scroll wheel turns you make. Bloddy irritating. The rest of the page validates and everything, but it rankles.

Is it the CSS on the photos page or is it just Opera? Like I said, works on Firefox don't it? I ought to take the server monkeys up on this one.

Opera tidbits you already knew and would like to see others repeat in blog-posts

Thursday, 27. April 2006, 08:29:26

It's called a love-fest.

Got a wheeled mouse? Well, in the Opera window, right click and hold - give the wheel a spin. Voila! Tab browsing (just like mom used to do with ctrl and tab). But that's not the cool part. With opera9, you get a thumbnail view of the tab's content (much like the one in IE7 but that's not a good direction to go) if you hover over the tab. Want to see the same thumbnail in the tab browsing selector? Go here. Don't forget to save your settings of course.

Enjoy the new ride.

If you don't have opera and you clicked the link... -sigh- you want to get Opera too now don't you? Click the download button. It's on the side bar. It's so easy. It's right there. Click it. Go on. Use Opera. Browse better.

Eeep. Beta bugs

You take the good with the bad. The bad however almost crashes the entire page file handler of windows.

Browsing through blogs randomly while using remote desktop led to the pagefile reaching astronomical values. This has happened once before and is definitely Opera acting up. One more incentive to keep taskmanager running in the background. Just one little click and the pagefile usage dropped from 599MB to 202MB. Freaky.
