Sticky: About this blog

Monday, November 15, 2004 3:38:52 PM

I do QA/testing in the Desktop department at Opera, and I also try to stay updated on everything that happens in our user communities. Even though I work for Opera Software, the opinions stated herein do not necessarily represent those of my employer.

Slashdot and other media misrepresenting Opera's third quarter results.The fox is everywhere! Where is Opera?

Hey Haavard.

I see that you and several others at Opera are blogging, and that many of you have posted similar "disclaimers" about how the opinions stated in the blog not necessarily represent those of your employer.

Why do you think such a disclaimer is necessary? Is it a legal requirement, a clarification, or something else?

I enjoy your blog and the many links you provide to Opera-relevant material across the web. Keep up the good spirit. :-)

It is not a requirement, but if I happen to post something which might reflect badly on Opera Software I want to make sure that people understand that these are my personal thoughts, for the most part.

It is hard to believe that someone had to ask that question. Well, you live and you learn (nice answer by the way).

mike421 # Thursday, June 8, 2006 5:46:38 PM

actually it was a good question, I was wondering the same thing myself. Hopefully the good people at opera would know that your blog will have your opinions with or without the disclaimer.

Haavardhaavard # Friday, June 9, 2006 7:05:26 AM

My colleagues know that I have opinions (

), but other people may not know whether my opinions represent those of Opera Software or not.

Would be cool if you made an account to complain about your own help.

Every user counts you know?

There is a small envelope button that can be clicked to send messages.

Just make sure that everyone knows that you are expressing your own opinion and not your employer's (especially when it's something that can cause problems) and I think everything will be ok.

I agree. I even ran into some problems once by doing that.

Your title is confusing. We were expecting a war journal. We wanted to know what's going on behind the trenches. Do you know by any chance? We don't.

"Your title is confusing. We were expecting a war journal. We wanted to know what's going on behind the trenches. Do you know by any chance? We don't."

What's so confusing about it

? I think it's a good disclaimer...and definitely a good thing to have for a person in his position

Help me, Haavard! I think Opera saves cache for faster browsing, but it's a problem. When I accidentally change my Blog Link of a post, and I change again, Opera still remembers the first link and so, afterward I click to the comments of this post and "404 not found" appears ! Cause it leads to a page not existed due to the old URL still in Opera Cache. How to delete this cache on server or else I must delete this post and make a new one ? I don't want to lose my friends 'comment on it ! Any Suggestion ?

Darkmahoradarkmahora # Sunday, March 18, 2007 10:38:46 AM

You can visit my blog and see that problem on Sticky post, when click on Comments.

So, everything on this blog is just your personal opinion and has no relationship with Opera Software.

Hei Håvard.
Kjekt å finne en som kan hjelpe. Carol har anbefalt deg, og My Opera har henvist meg til deg. I går skjedde noe som jeg ikke likte. Den ene bloggen min var full av linker til porno. For det meste barne og dyre porno. Alle var merket som spam, og (heldigvis) tydelig merket som noe andre hadde passert der, men med de automatiske robotene som leter etter sider med slike linker m.m. har jeg vel havnet både i politiets og redd barnas liste over suspekte personer. Jeg har mistanke om at det var et gammelt upopulært innlegg fra en annen på bloggen min, som hadde tiltrukket seg dette. Desverre (kanskje), slettet jeg alt så fort som mulig. Du ville vel likt å kunne se det for å finne evt avsender m.m., men jeg tenkte ikke på det, og ønsket bare å bli kvitt det så fort som mulig.
Anbefaler du forresten å melde dette til politiet?
Arne K Lund.

rano22 # Tuesday, February 9, 2010 2:17:37 PM

Hi Haavard
There is one thing I personally believe must be implemented in new Opera release. It's about platform integration, it's about changing Windows file open/save dialog to modern ones, introduced in Vista. They really improve my productivity and it's practically the only thing that stops me from migrating to Opera (all other modern browsers already use new dialogs). I've asked about that some time ago on the Opera forums but still didn't got any useful answer: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=374081
I would be very grateful if you may tell me is there any plans for that change or tell me whom should I ask about that.
Thanks.

I think I understand what you said... but the most important thing that I do see in your post is "peace and love".

Yes indeed! Take care Danhi!

If this was the one I warned you about as a scammer, then you should avoid all contact. Contact with these scammers is highly dangerous. If you simply stop responding, it will be OK.

Hi Haavard,

I always wondered how Opera Software got its name? I have read the Wikipedia article and I Googled a lot but all I can find is the Telenor research project story.

Hey how can i contact you? I have a great idea for opera that I would like to share with you, it's a very simple feature but no other browser has it.

Arne K LundArnekrilu # Friday, September 3, 2010 5:58:09 AM

If it's about an FTP client for Opera, I had that idea for a while.

PhotMSupportLab # Friday, September 17, 2010 6:52:44 PM

Haarvard,

Previously you have seen me on "crystalacey" which is my main site. I am using this site as a technical site and a "sandbox".

Can you tell me who I can send a PM to about a My.Opera.com problem with NEWS on Notifications for Email. The Email notification for News are just not being sent out even though I receive Emails on friend requests and Private Messages. This is occurring on this site, my main site "crystalacey", which started happening at the end of July, as well as my friends site "justabi". All 3 sites should be on the North American severs, if that makes any difference??
