Creating a "I'm feeling lucky" search engine in Opera browser
Wednesday, 17. October 2007, 21:13:32
Google has a nice feature called "I'm Feeling Lucky" that has been used for several years. When you press that button, you'll go directly to the first web page that Google returned from your query.
As an Opera user, I love to have a Feeling Lucky search.
With Opera you can create your own search engines to be used on the header, next to the address. Why use google when you only need the first result?
Go to http://www.google.com/help/features.html#lucky
And press the right mouse button on the search box --> Create search.
You can even associate this search to the "Speed Dial" feature
This will save you some time
Enjoy it!

Is Apple the new Microsoft?
Tuesday, 11. September 2007, 20:02:12
A very interesting article about Apple, comparing Microsoft's monopoly to Apple's new adventures.
Don't look now, but the role of the industry's biggest bully is increasingly played by Apple, not Microsoft.

How to add a "Open Link in Opera" to Internet Explorer context menu
Monday, 27. August 2007, 20:25:34
I use Opera to browse comfortably the web. It is the best browser, indeed.
However, for some Google Apps, Internet Explorer behaves better (yet). So I use the two browsers simultaneously, very often.
My problem was: I don't want to use Internet Explorer to navigate the web. I just want it to display Google Calendar or Google Docs and if a URL appears I would love to open it instead on Opera.
I found a nice solution.
With this method you can use IE and when you see a "browsable" link, you can right-click the URL and send it to Opera.
Tutorial
1) Create a new document with an editor and add this:
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function runK(location) {
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.run("\"C:\\Program Files\\Opera\\Opera.exe\" \"" + location + "\"");
}
var oWindow = window.external.menuArguments;
if (oWindow != null) {
var oDocument = oWindow.document;
var sText = null;
var oEvent = oWindow.event;
if ((oEvent.type == "MenuExtUnknown") || (oEvent.type == "MenuExtImage") || (oEvent.type == "MenuExtAnchor")) {
var oElement = oDocument.elementFromPoint(oEvent.clientX, oEvent.clientY);
var oAnchor = oElement;
while ((oAnchor.tagName != "A") && (oAnchor.tagName != "AREA") && (oAnchor.tagName != "HTML")) {
oAnchor=oAnchor.parentElement;
}
if (oAnchor.tagName=="A" || oAnchor.tagName=="AREA") {
sText = oAnchor.href;
} else if (oAnchor.tagName=="HTML" && oElement.tagName=="IMG") {
sText = oElement.src;
}
}
if ((sText != null) && (sText.length != 0)) {
var location = new String(sText);
runK(location);
}
}
</SCRIPT> Make sure the location for Opera.exe is correct or change it.
2) Save this as openlinkinopera.htm and save it in C:\WINDOWS\Web\
3) Open Regedit (Start->Run->Regedit.exe) and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt
Add a new key called Open Link in Opera
4) In the first line called (Default) change the value to: C:\WINDOWS\Web\openlinkinopera.htm
5) Now right-click in the open space under (Default) and click New>DWORD Value.
6) Call this new item "contexts" without the quotation marks.
7) Double-click the contexts and change the value to 22 in hexadecimal and it should look like 0x00000022 (34)
8) Close Regedit and re-open Internet Explorer. Right-click on a link to verify that it works properly.
If you are concerned about touching the windows registry, make a backup (File->Export) before going any further.
Thank you for the help, John Drake

Run, Rabbit Run!
Friday, 6. April 2007, 14:16:12
Breathe
(Waters, Gilmour, Wright) 2:44
Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
Nuno Prospero
