Opera Mobile

- Eskil reporting from behind the scenes...

Time to move on...

It's been a long time since my last blog post, and it is certainly not because things are quiet at Opera. On the contrary - the more that is happening, the less time I find to write. But this is only part of the reason. Time has come for me to seek other challenges, and I have accepted a job offer as a communications adviser for a communications company in Norway, starting in January.

It's with a heavy heart that I choose to leave this great place, but there is so much more to learn out there, and I feel the time is right. It's been a great ride, and here's a quick list of some of the things I will miss, in random order.

  • Friendly, smart, helpful and good Opera people in my.opera
  • Nagging Berit with whom I have had the pleasure of sharing an office for two years
  • Talking on two phones simultaniously while answering e-mails, coordinating release strategies with the team and drinking coffee
  • mmm... coffee... stopping at Deli de Luca on my way to work for that first cup of coffee
  • The kick of seeing global Opera news coverage after careful planning and timely execution
  • Working with software and programming geniuses
  • Daily correspondence with great journalists from all over the world
  • Traveling and meeting Opera fans, bright analysts and media people


Thanks to all who have read my blog, for all comments, e-mails and encouragements over the last two and a half years. I will miss you, too!

Be good,
Eskil

Best wishes!

Yes, swimming, indeed. That will haunt me for the rest of my career :-).
Thanks, Eddie and Fatal. Daniel - it was a pleasure to work with you, too. I didn't get to meet you when you were in Oslo, but perhaps I'll see you next time!
