STICKY POST

Daily Updates

Here is my.opera blog written in English.

I usually write in Japanese, so if you want daily, up-to-date, fast informations, please check my HATENA-diary.
You may find another informations there.

New my.opera.com

, ,

It's still going on to improve the quality but anyways we now have new, localized MyOpera :smile:
I used to write here in English, but now we can set Japanese (日本語) UI. It's quite important, because some of the new MyOpera users access here with Game Console, like Wii. I heard Wii has pre-set link to MyOpera, so even Japanese children can use MyOpera, then previously they might surprise to see English contents.

Different from some other countries, we have over 120 millions' population in our isolated islands, so almost everything is translated into our native language. We can live without using or even knowing another languages in daily life at all, including the most of specilized documents. It must be good indeed, but it sometimes hinders us to communicate the people around the world.
We had Japanese MyOpera forum of which UI was English for a while, and at last,we have forum all in Japanese! As I wrote above, we know it still has several issues, but it will be solved by our experts both in Oslo and Tokyo, for they work too hard for us.
Kudos to engineers and translators.

Yahoo pipes - Opera Widgets

, ,

Recently, momizine, a dedicated Japanese opera lover, made Opera Widgets' aggregator using Yahoo! pipes. If you are Opera Widgets addict and look for new ones, this pipes or feed from it must help you.

Opera New Widgets 全文配信
Click to open "More options", and see Opera's feed preview of "Get as RSS".

How do you like it? :wink:
[Edit]
Momizine also made New Opera Skins pipes, so if you write him your comment here at my blog below, it's much appreciated.

Another National Holidays

,

As some of you have heard of, we have many National Holidays in Japan. In this month, we have 2. Today is "Bunka-no-hi", Culture Day, formerly known as the birthday of Emperor Meiji.
Another holiday in this month is "Kinrou-kansya-no-hi", Labour Thanksgiving Day, 23rd. It's Sunday this year, so Monday will be holiday for us. Thanks.
Even on those holidays, I check mails and watch the Web, so nothing special :frown:

Silver or Lead?

, , ,

We have 2.0 of that, but I don't know whether it is silver or not.
Anyway, when you open that page, you may see the below left with standard Opera, and if you set "Mask as something else", you will get right one, in the shadow.

Don't ask me the name of the image file.

Four letters extensions

, , ,

I unfortunately sometimes receive files with four letters extensions like xslx, docx or the like. Today, with the release and install of OpenOffice.org 3.0, I finally could open those files at home.
Thanks, guys :smile:
