It has been a while (again) since I had to say something important enough to make a post Anyway, a new year should be reason enough to at least share some wishes: May you all have a great year and stay healthy
Opera is looking for the best winter photo and so they came up with a small competition. And as I got a couple of nice shots I thought I should take part in this race. The only question is which picture I should pick?
You can find the poll in the sidebar (on the right side of this page, scroll down a bit) and the photos I think might be the best ones I have are here...
Most of you know, that I'm a huge fan of Opera since I came across it in 2001. Anyone else seem to have missed my bunch of blog posts about Opera, myself being MyOpera "Member of the Week" , being part of the MyOpera community page or visiting the Opera headquarter or just has never tried to talk with me about computer But hey, no problem, just go ahead reading or contact me!
With the release of the latest Opera 10 desktop browser there came up a lot of discussion about "Why should I use Opera? I already have IE/FF/Safari/...". Well, there is no perfect answer to this question, but there are a lot of reasons why I really use Opera 10 even if it is - like everything else - not up to 100% perfect. But it is damn close!
I was out at Sognsvann, which is a lake just around the corner where I'm living right now here in Oslo, to take some (IME amazing, sorry ) photos! So if you haven't had a look into my gallery, feel free to do so. If you already have seen the Sognsvann-photos, I added some new ones now click!
It's always amazing to see how many people visit my blog. It's also interesting how they find my blog. While it's been my visit at Opera's and the article on the community page, which helped me to get more than 3.500 page views within the last 10 days, it's normally my photos and the Google-services through which my visitors make their way to my.opera.com/thobi
I often have a look at the counter at hitslink.com (whose service is included for free with every my.opera-blog!). Today I recognized, that the number of unique visitors hit the mark of 6.500 the last and the page views climbed up to more than 21.000. So I thought it's time to write something! I think that's really amazing and I have to repeat what I usually tend to say: I don't know why all these people are coming here, but I appreciate the visit of every single one of those 6.519
Thanks a lot!
Edit: ah, just found my blog entry from 6th of sep 2008 about the 100k visitors. not a year later it's already 150k (but having so many different numbers, i'm a bit confused now ) nothing against tamil's numbers, but hey, he's got the more informative blog than i do; especially for opera fans
Today I've been visiting Opera's Headquarter in Oslo. It's been really fun to meet the people over there (including Kompis). Thanks to Alexandra & EspenAO again for inviting me over! Choose Opera: A community member stopping by!
