With this blog post, I'm officially starting to eat our own dogfood by using My Opera. Generally, I like it, though I'd prefer LiveJournal's HTML subset over self-invented markup. The only thing that bothers me is that my blog is going to have the word Opera in the URL, and I don't like to endorse a product with my personal blog, even though I'm making it.

I've had a blog in Russian for a long time, and it shall remain as my primary journal for Russian-speaking readers. This blog at My Opera will mostly contain English translations of selected entries from my main blog, and probably also some local stuff which isn't ineresting to my friends in Russia.

I'll start with translating some of the older posts, from 2004 on. Those are the ones I consider worth reading, but the older an entry, the more the chances are that I don't hold to these opinions that much anymore. Please also take care when interpreting words like “now” and “recently” in these oldies. The original entry and its translation will always link to each other.

UPDATE: I've cleared the backlog of older entries to translate now. Newer entries will follow above this one.

Actually, you can use a subset of HTML here on MyOpera. Try it!

Yes, I've figured it out. But is there any documentation on what exactly is allowed?

And how can I escape square brackets if I need them in the text?
