My Omnia HD arrived by mail today. So far so good. But its taking some time getting used to, since the touch version of Symbian S60 is not as user friendly as other touch alternatives out there. Expect some more coverage when I've tried the phone a bit more.
Regular My Opera blog posts don't support captions under the images, even though it would be easy as pie to implement. So I finally got around to making my own codes.
<span class="rightcaption"> [IMG=http://files.myopera.com/drlaunch/thelaunchsite/banner.gif] Caption text </span>
<span class="leftcaption"> [IMG=http://files.myopera.com/drlaunch/thelaunchsite/banner.gif] Caption text </span>
<span class="centercaption"> [IMG=http://files.myopera.com/drlaunch/thelaunchsite/banner.gif] Caption text </span>
Basically, you add a couple of span tags like those above, around the image and caption to have a caption under the image. This is useful for things like image texts, attribution of authors and image information.
In order to make them work, you'll need to add the following code to your account's custom CSS ( Account --> Design --> Custom style sheet).
But my new Omnia HD will arrive by mail in a few days. I was going to go with the Nokia N97 because of its touch screen and keyboard combo. But I decided to go with Omnia HD because of its ridiculously long battery life and ridiculously large display.
Some of my readers might know that Furie was lucky enough to become an ambassador for Samsung Omnia HD. But unluckily enough, Samsung didn't see the advantage of sending it out to the ambassadors earlier and receive valuable feedback and endorsement before its release.
So my feelings about receiving it this week are mixed.
Neo is beginning to look complete. A bunch of bugs have been squished, and I skipped having to override the in line style sheet by importing only the style sheets I need. Because of that, you'll need to change to "Only use my custom style sheet" in the custom style sheet settings.
While it's a release candidate, its functionality isn't going to stay frozen. In fact, I want as much feedback as possible from you, my users. I want as many bug reports as possible and feature requests. After I've implemented the requests I approve, I'm going to release a Neo RC2, and If I'm satisfied, I'm going to clean up the source code and release the final version.
Opera Unite is Opera's way of giving you back control over the web. Instead of saving your files on websites owned by corporations, you can keep your files on your computer and share them with anyone you want. When you keep Opera Unite running on your computer, your computer becomes a website other people can browse. And this website can contain things like a music player, photo album, file explorer or a chat room. You can even create new kinds of services if you're a web developer. Anyone can browse your Unite site if they have access to a web browser. You only need to keep Opera Unite running. Your friends on My Opera can see if you're running Opera Unite, and you can see which of your friends are running Opera Unite. You can also password protect all your Opera Unite pages, except the fridge. But since after the rush at the launch of Opera Unite, the service has been rather quiet, which brings me to my question.
I somehow haven't seen many of my friends online in Opera Unite this week. Have you gone back to Opera 9.6? Did you disable all your services? Perhaps you never enabled it. Or are you running services, but aren't getting any visitors? Please vote for your answer in the sidebar poll --> . And make a comment about your answer below. Either way, I'd really like to see more of you keeping your Unite services running when you're online.
Unite really deserves a chance, because it really is revolutionary. It gives you back the control over your content, and allows anyone to run a website. If you value freedom from the strings corporations put on the content you share, please install Opera Unite and enable some of your services. It's really easy. Just run Opera, open the Unite panel, and double click the service you want to share.
Woohoo! After almost four years and lots of devotion, and thanks to everything I've shared with all of you, I've been crowned Member of the Week for the first time. But this would never have happened if I wasn't inspired by my friends and all the kind members of the community.
Some of you might remember when I shared my beautiful Opera setups earlier. This week, Opera Unite was released, and a new version of the menus as well. My old setups aren't fully compatible, so I created some new ones. The Compact Menus and Toolbars. They attempt to make an Opera equivalent of the menus in Chrome and Safari. They gather some of the menu bar items in two menus, and remove a few buttons from the address bar. Items you can find by right clicking or clicking a toolbar button are not included in the menus. The search field has been removed as well, but you can search by keywords such as "g search terms" to search google. For a full list of keywords go to Tools --> Preferences --> Search.
There are two versions available. One for the new Unite version of Opera and one for older versions of Opera.
You'll need to save the files in their respective directories. You'll find them by looking at the Opera directory under Paths in opera:about. The menu file needs to go in the menu directory and the toolbar file needs to go in the toolbar directory. If the directory doesn't exist, you'll need to create it. Make sure you save them as *.ini files and not *.* files. Both files are required to be saved correctly for all features to work.
Once you've placed the files in the correct directories enable them from Tools --> Preferences... --> Advanced --> Toolbars --> Compact menus - New/ Compact toolbars - New --> OK.
The Pirate bay has been assimilated into the legion of Anonymous. Why? To aid Anonymous in the fight against the harmful ways of The Church of Scientology. The Church of Scientology is a sinister corporation, using brainwashing and crime to exploit the followers of Scientology for money, and manipulation of authorities to hide their operations, until Anonymous combined effort, known as Project Chanology cracked their corporation wide open.
The Pirate Bay
The Pirate Bay is a tracker and search engine for BitTorrent, a file sharing protocol where you use a file sharing program to open a torrent file. The torrent file contains instructions for how to connect to a central server. The central server keeps track of people sharing the file, allowing you to connect to these people to download the file.
The pirate bay are now linking to Operation Sea Arrrgh II on their home page. The Pirate Bay homepage is no longer linking to Operation Sea Arrrgh II. A pirate themed protest against the Church of Scientology. Many pirates have now been assimilated into the legion of Anonymous.
Anonymous
Anonymous is the name of a legion of anonymous Internet users with roughly the same goals. Anonymous has no leaders and no organization structure, and no specific center of operations, making them an virtually impossible target to take down.
We are anonymous
We are legion
We do not forgive
We do not forget
Expect us
While their operations have been mostly humorous and often misunderstood pranks, they've also gathered forces for great justice. Project Chanology is one of these efforts.
Project Chanology
Project Chanology is a protest movement against the Church of Scientology. It exists to uncover the sinister operations of The Church of Scientology, protest against its methods, and finally bring a stop to its harmful operations.
This is done by protests from Anonymous. They gather in various locations for peaceful protests. Often wearing Guy Fawkes masks and carrying informative banners about the Church of Scientology. Several successful protests have been completed. They've gathered a fair amount of media coverage and followers of Scientology are starting to wake up to their Church' harmful ways.
Dis-Connection takes the term White & Nerdy very serious, webcomic style. The comic follows two geekish computer and video game nerds "Gregg Nitchmaker" and "Yves Tavalloski". But also your favorite video game heroes and game developers.
