java, plug-ins, release
One of the cool new things coming in
Opera 10.6 for Mac (
Alpha 1 now available) is the switch to the all new out-of-process Java plug-in (javaplugin2). An out-of-process plug-in of course means a crash free Java environment! Yej! (At least an environment that does not crash your browser when Java runs into a little trouble.)
What this means is that you have to install
Java for Mac OS 10.5 Update 7 or
Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 2 (both available through Software Update) in order to use Java with Opera. Java on OS 10.4 and in non-updated versions of Mac OS is
no longer supported.Read more...

It is not … quite the same as the Chrome ads, but close! (Picked up by
Engadget.)

mobile-web, panels, user-tip
Have you noticed that there is a little weird button in the bottom left corner of an Opera window? It is the Panels button. I am not going to bother with the default panels (see our documentation) in this post. But rather focus on how you can start using mobile versions of popular sites—such as Facebook—as a panel.
You can find a few specially designed pages who where intended as being used as panels. But any Web site will work. Mobile sites are intended to work on a narrow screen, and thus work much better in the small format of the panel view in Opera.

I finally ordered that
Mac Mini Server Edn. (on
Amazon) I
considered six months ago. So I ended up going for a pretty little machine even though it is totally over-powered for my server/services need.
The major selling point that convinced me to get it was the server administrative tools. There just is not anything similar or anything like a ubuntu-server-gnome-admin for Linux. I don’t want to spend time setting up the basics (email server, chat, file sharing, …) and I want the rest to be easy and unnumbered too. Linux: you aren’t easy enough to use yet.
