Opera 9 Preview 2

So, I'm now experimenting with the current preview of the Opera 9 browser. It's striking me as being rather similar to Opera 8 so far, but I know it's got some fairly significant extras under the bonnet.

I've not played with them yet, but I like the look of the following features particularly:

• BitTorrent
• A widget engine (like Konfabulator / Yahoo Widget Engine)
• Site specific preferences (want to use different preferences for the odd site? Do so!)

More blurb can be found here.

Hopefully the release version will crop up soon.

Looking for Udon recipes...

So, I was looking for Udon recipes on the web (ie: things to do with udon noodles to make them a bit more interesting than just plain noodles), and had to do a double take.

I know the word means more than it's current accepted meaning here in the western world, but I really had to keep reminding myself of that.
