Miscellaneous technobabble from a Swede in Norway.

Cambridge

Published: 2006-09-01 18:09:59

I am part of the Core Technology department within Opera, the department that never releases anything that the user see. We deliver the core to the various platform teams that add a user interface and release things like Opera 9.0 for Windows, Opera 8.6 for Windows Mobile or Symbian OS Series 60.

I normally work out of an office in Oslo, but for this weekend I am visiting Cambridge, together with the reast of the Core Techonology department, where we are having a seminar. Since our team is split over the Oslo and Linköping offices, we do not meet face-to-face that often, so this is a perfect opportunity to get to know our colleagues, old and new. There are a lot of interesting talks being held by members of the group, presenting work we are doing and are going to do. Nothing I can name here, of course.

I have not been able to see much of Cambridge yet, though, but there will be time for that later on, I hope. Cambridge looks like a nice little city. Unfortunately I did forget to bring my digital camera, so I will not be able to take any pictures. Fortunately, since this is a company employing a lot of computer geeks, that means that there is more than one digital camera here. Hopefully that means I will be able to get hold of some photographs later on.

What the users look most at in a web browser is the web sites which wouldn't work without you guys ;-)

Shouldn't there be a punctuation mark somehwere in that sentence.

There's a nice green meadow somewhere near the place where all the small boats lunch off to journeys across the moat (sorry if my english isn't appropriate).

If you sit down under one of the trees there you can watch the whole town come across you if you stay long enough. I enjoyed all the students around spreading happiness to everyone who was not in a hurry. Such a lively place. Well, at least in summer.
