Updates and upgrades
Posted on January 29, 2003 @ 13:36 in General
Well, Opera released their version 7 browser yesterday. News.com actually writes that it's Opera's "first final version", which is a bit paradoxical, but it makes sense that there will be updates before too long. I've been surfing around a bit with Opera 7 and I must say, it seems to work very well, it's very fast, faster even than Opera 6 and it just looks rather slick right out of the box.
In unrelated news, Ben and Mena just announced that the version 2.6 of MovableType is only a couple of weeks away. Some interesting updates and add-ons, but I'm mostly looking forward to the more advanced text-formatting options. Can't have enough of those! Hopefully one day we can even have WYSIWYG editing right in the browser window.
Also our department's friendly IT guy re-installed my computer this morning. I'm glad to say I've finally left Windows NT behind and am now happily typing away on a Windows 2000 machine. The NT installation had become rather cluttered over that past 2 years and last week my NT profile got messed up beyond repair because I had logged in on a Windows 2000 machine in one of the class rooms. I don't know if it's just that it's a fresh install or that Windows 2000 simply is faster, but there's a noticeable general speed-up. Yay!
Anyway, I found out that our IT guy originally is from Iran and he's the driving force behind an amazing (and awarded) site about Iran's art, culture and history: IranChamber.com. Well worth a visit.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
