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.

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.
