Opera Software today announced the world-wide release of Opera Mini, the full Web browser that runs on almost every mobile phone, including low- and mid-end handsets.
The global launch follows the trials of Opera Mini in the Nordics and in Germany during the fall of 2005, which resulted in a user base of over one million people. Opera Mini is available free-of-charge via WAP download, or for a small fee via SMS.
The first trial of Opera Mini was launched in Norway in August 2005, and Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director, Jupiter Research, called it "a really big breakthrough for the mobile space." Opera now also offers customized versions of Opera Mini to mobile phone operators, handset manufacturers and other companies interested in offering a branded, full mobile Web browser to their customers.
Opera Mini is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Polish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish. More languages will be available shortly. Opera Mini requires that the phone supports Java.
Opera Mini runs on any Java-enabled non-smartphone. The handset only needs to run a small (50-100 KB) Java client to access the web, which is like a VNC or Terminal Services client of sorts. Opera Mini uses a remote proxy server to pre-process the web page instead of requiring the phone to process them. When a user requests for a webpage, it is fetched by the Opera Mini server and reformatted with Small Screen Rendering technology, compressing it further by about 70-80%, and is finally sent to the handset as output. This feature optimizes the browsing for phones with very low resources, or low bandwidth connections, as well as low screen real-estate.

Devious Journal Entry
Hey Guys,
I am back after a long sabbatical from deviantART. Glad to be here to see the DA community growing strong.
I have been actively working in SecondLife, Web Design and of course got addicted to MMORPGS (WoW and Eve Online)
I invite you to be a part of a creative project I have been envisioning in Second Life for all my creative sisters and brothers.
Drop me a line if you want to know more, I would love everyone to be a part of the idea.
If you are already in Second Life, holler me on my avatar Angelo Septimus.
Love as always,

Chinese New Year 2004
The Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the
