Turbo goes live

Opera Software today published a test build of Opera with Turbo, its new server-side compression, enabled. It is targetted at people surfing on a limited bandwidth, such as over a telephone modem or mobile network, and who want to run a full browser and not Opera Mini or similar solutions.

I’ve tried it out a bit, and it is nice for making pages appear faster. It even works for faster networks, but image quality is greatly diminished, so don’t try browsing Flickr with Turbo enabled. Since I have bought a USB GSM/UMTS modem, which allows med to connect to the ’net almost anywhere, I am planning on trying it out a bit more in detail later.

Även om vi ännu inte har kommit oss för att hänga upp en enda tavla på väggarna i det nya huset (däremot har vi fyra väggklockor) så kan man ta sig lite tid då ...

  • Testing out version control

    It often happens that after a while after having installed Windows on a machine, that you get to a point where some programs you have installed collide in such a way that you need to re-install the computer. When I installed Windows under DosBox I thought about that it would be interesting t ...

    Yesterday’s project wasnt’t completely “because it is possible”, but also to see whether I could get an almost twenty year old Windows application run. (Continues…)

  • Cold spell

    It seems like winter (finally?) has found its way here properly. This morning we had a temperature of thirteen degrees below zero, and you can really feel that in your cheeks with the kind of air we have here in Oslo. Last winter these kind of temperatures were the norm, but this winter has ...
