Member of the week

In most parts of the world, spring is now making its approach, and what's better than to meet a member who portraits himself as a beer drinker, downloader, and time waster. :lol:

We find his blog lighthearted, and his posts are really cool. For instance, he is confident that you can eat your way out of a hangover. It's clearly not the time for healthy eating, and his favorite food is cold leftover pizza straight from the refrigerator. Doesn't sound too tasty, but he also provides a list of good hangover remedies which works for him. However, these items should be avoided at all costs:

  • Prickly foods like salads.
  • Milk.
  • Boiled eggs.
  • Anything that might look extremely unpleasant later.

We're not sure how many of you who'll find this list useful, but since it's weekend, many of you might enjoy a drink or two. p:

We know there are many Linux enthusiasts on My Opera, and this member used to run Slackware for more than 10 years, but with release 12, he felt it had become too much trouble. We guess there was way too much Homer: Doh! over a few little niggling problems. He's now using Kubuntu, which is a total breeze compared to getting under the hood with Slackware.

Anyway, for a great read, we recommend you check out slackwrdave's blog, this week's member of the week! Congrats! :cheers:

OMG, I just found out I'm MOTW due to CultureSurfer shoutboxing me! This is crazy! lol

thank ya thank ya thank ya.

Sweet review from EspenAO. thank ya thank ya thank ya.

Don't let the hangover stuff mislead you too much though. I only booze it up *when* I have lots of time for it, like never during the workweek or if I have anything serious to do the next day. I'm no *overtly* decadent boi, lol.

I saw the pics from that operasoftware anniversary party on that little island some time back. Gosh, I shoulda been there. :D I think there had to have been some head holding after that bash. :wink:

I thought blogging was a drag until I started exploring myopera. It really is miles (Km?) above the rest.

Kind regards,
Dave

Naomi 9. May 2008, 16:50

Isn't it a cool surprise? I found out via an Opera friend; thought he was joking at first. p:

Did you know you were chosen from over 300,000 blogs & there are more than 1.4 million people on this site? :yikes:

Enjoy your week of fame. :wizard:

Carol 9. May 2008, 16:52

Hey mansoor!

What a good weekend. Thanks everybody.

I have a 12-pack in the fridge. Who's coming over for a drink?

There are sodas and juices, too. We try to be sensitive to everybody. :wink:

anna 10. May 2008, 00:43

Congratzzz.... :hat:

Khadra Warsame Penh Neang 10. May 2008, 01:21

Congrats have a nice and sweet weekend

Angeliki 10. May 2008, 01:29

Congratulations!!!
very much deserved!! :up:

Naomi 10. May 2008, 04:45

@slackwrdave What about chocolate? Angeliki (ellinidata) and I need chocolate if we come over!!!

Carol 10. May 2008, 04:50

Congratulations :hat:

slackwrdave 10. May 2008, 05:01

CultureSurfer and ellinidata, if you *MUST* be bribed by chocolate, I still have half a bag of these around. For a Hershey product, they're extremely good.

We're more into colorful iced cupcakes, but chocolate lovers can be accommodated easily, lol.

:up:

Words 10. May 2008, 08:19

Congratulations wine

Angeliki 10. May 2008, 09:43

CultureSurfer was negotiating chocolate while I was sleeping??
thant's why I had sweet dreams! :lol:
thank you slackwrdave,
Naomi you are a real :angel: !!!

Johnny Game 10. May 2008, 11:42

Member or members of the week? ;-)

Naomi 10. May 2008, 12:50

@Slackwrdave I'll have to try that out. I generally snub Hershey's as "fake" chocolate. I think Dove is the BEST American chocolate & I love Lindt chocolate as far as European chocolate goes.

@Angeliki Yes, I always look out for our best interests. :lol:

Anban 10. May 2008, 12:53

Congrats!

Mick-E 10. May 2008, 13:42

Espen, don't knock cold leftover pizza 'til you've tried it. Sometimes I think it's better than hot and fresh.

Anyone who has learned the secret of cold leftover pizza deserves to be MotW. :up:

slackwrdave 10. May 2008, 15:08

I think pizza is like fine wine, it's better with a little age on it, lol.

And CultureSurfer, I too usually snub Hershey, as they have bought up all the competition and have "standardized" all the odd little candies that used to be so good. Oh, and their Christmas candy is totally ridiculous. It's those same old chocolate Kisses dolled up in red and green wrappers. Sheesh!

My mom gave me a bag of Hershey ultra-dark chocolate, and it's actually impressive, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

This MOTW has been very fun, meeting lots of people, and seeing lots of fine blogs and photography.

Naomi 10. May 2008, 15:24

Glad you are enjoying the ride. I'll check out the allegedly new and improved Hershey's.

slackwrdave 10. May 2008, 15:38

I better go outside for a little while now. The sun will burn my eyes and make me recoil into the shadows.

Naomi 10. May 2008, 15:47

Always a good idea to see the real world once in a while.:cool:

Mick-E 10. May 2008, 17:19

Neither is she. Spam reported.

slackwrdave 10. May 2008, 18:23

Excellent job reporting that spam. Opera team always very responsive to the reports. All efforts make it a nicer place here.

Thank you!

Mick-E 10. May 2008, 19:34

No problem, best to nip them in the bud.

Besides, with that comment she really was just asking for it.

slackwrdave 10. May 2008, 21:06

The spam was so incongruent that I found it funny, even though spam is not really funny. There was no hit on my blog, so "she" (it?) never even went there, though the phrase "in spite of the difference in our ages" was in her spam.

Somebody got indirectly called "old" by a lowly spammer. :frown: Was it me? Who was she talking to? Why am I even expanding this? LOL :rolleyes:

Szymon Maksymilian Sabat 10. May 2008, 21:28

I needed the list today... my head... but... ahh... never mind...

Mick-E 10. May 2008, 21:57

Some spam can be very funny.

I wouldn't take that age thing personally, I think it's one of those stock phrases that required by the unwritten laws of spam :wink:

hungryghost 10. May 2008, 23:06

whoo hooo - congratulations!

Naomi 10. May 2008, 23:41

@Mickey
Yes, I read David's grammatically incorrect response to the spammer & thought it was one of the funniest, most creative posts I have seen on Opera. :yes:

Gone are the days when the word "spam" used to make me laugh thanks to Monty Python.:cry:

slackwrdave 11. May 2008, 00:56

The world of spam, where Cialis and Viagra are plentiful, hot girls always want to chat, and everybody has a little p3nis. :D

Now I wish I hadn't deleted my reply to the spammer. I got embarrassed for a sec and hit delete.

djmrye 11. May 2008, 01:35

Congrats! :wizard:

Naomi 11. May 2008, 01:41

And to think I missed the whole spam episode! :cry:

Lest we forget the Nigerian Princess who wants to deposit your funds in her bank account. I have a friend who now calls me Princess Naomi due to an e-mail he received from an alleged Nigerian princess with my name. :lol:

julia phan 11. May 2008, 03:34
