Planned downtime for the "Apricot" release

By Cosimo Streppone. Tuesday, 3. March 2009, 17:24:44

, , , ,

This is the first release in the "fruits and/or music bands" series.
The first one of course starts with "A", so Apricot. Tomorrow we will release this new version of My Opera, starting at 10:00 CET.
The planned downtime will be around 2 hours, even if we hope to keep it shorter than that. There will be Bubbles up and running in the meantime, so stay tuned... A full release changelog is going to be published tomorrow. Plus, there's a secret feature that nobody other than the development team knows about. Even some guys in the dev team don't know it. It's super-secret. It sneaked in mysteriously... :-) In case you're wondering, the picture is about "The Downtime", a band from the U.S.

Monkey businessWe can has Apricots!

Mmm, Apricot. All this talk of bands would make anyone think that some sort of media player is in the works; maybe an audio player - maybe OC is going to do video.

Or maybe a new photo uploader? All possibilities.

:rolleyes: yeah, should be an audio-video-photo uploading thing ... yes ... all in one :sherlock:

The Virtual Tamil sits in the corner of your screen, watching you browse, occasionally saying, "You know ... there's a more efficient way to do that with Opera!" :wink: :up:

Virtual Tamil
It looks like you're trying to browse the web. Would you like to
  • Go to a site?
  • Add a bookmark?
  • Search for porn?

On Windows Vista machines, Virtual Tamil replaces the Vista Orb on the taskbar with a monkey head. Every time you hover over Internet Explorer, a chat box opens up with Tamil saying, "No."

Where's my VT? :irked:

Шуйский Николай [krigstask, Ŝtérkrìg] 4. March 2009, 14:50

No OpenID support again )-:E

Thanks, Chas4. Too dumb to look myself (-:E

David Scott Aubrey 4. March 2009, 22:17

There's no VT for people who already know how to use Opera, Mik. :lol:

Santa Furie 4. March 2009, 22:26

But I'm so new that people who type one-handed (for obvious reasons) call me a Noob. :frown: And I only know how to use Opera Mini (better than it's designers) not the desktop browser or site. What's a blod anyway?

David Scott Aubrey 4. March 2009, 22:56

A blod? That's a contraction of Bill Oddie, isn't it? :lol:

Santa Furie 5. March 2009, 01:27

Well, a blang then or whatever you call these doohickeys?

Henry 5. March 2009, 03:04

Hey :mad: Thats my friend Mik! p:

David Scott Aubrey 5. March 2009, 09:59

Mik is a blang?

(I've lost track ... what are we taking about again? :lol: )

Santa Furie 5. March 2009, 10:20

Virtual Tamil. :mad:

David Scott Aubrey 5. March 2009, 12:56

Virtual Tamil is a blod? Or a Blang? :wink:

Santa Furie 5. March 2009, 18:54

Erm... Yes? :left:
