Sticky: About this blog

Monday, 15. November 2004, 15:38:52

I work in the QA Services and Documentation department at Opera, and I 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.

Igniting the browser warsThe 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).

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

OPERA SHOULD NOT BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC UNLESS IT WORKS AS IT IS MEANT TO WORK.
