I’ll be an employee for a while longer but with <a href=\"http://www.opera.com/browser\">10.51 out the door</a>, you won’t see me around the office that much.</p>\n<p>Now is the time to click <em>play</em> at the top of this post<sup id=\"fnref:p467909977-snd\"><a href=\"#fn:p467909977-snd\" rel=\"footnote\">1</a></sup>.</p>\n<p>I truly enjoyed my time in Opera. The people are <a href=\"http://my.opera.com/rmateu/albums/showpic.dml?album=694661&amp;picture=9420785\">beyond cool</a>, I was always surrounded by geeks with an extraordinary drive to make the best product possible. Exactly type of place I like working in.</p>\n<p>In addition, I had the opportunity to live in Norway, an <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebqdwQzmSHM\">amazing country</a> filled with reserved-yet-welcoming people. If you’re ever around, wait until the second beer, that’s when Norwegians true personality appears.</p>\n<p>I could go on and on about the <a href=\"http://my.opera.com/melnichuck/albums/show.dml?id=855917\">great friends I’ve made</a> and all the rest, but The Pogues said it best:</p>\n<blockquote>\n  <p>I’m sad to say I must be on my way/So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away/I’d like to think of me returning when I can/To the greatest <a href=\"http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&amp;safe=off&amp;client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;oq=&amp;gs_rfai=&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=cafe+isabella's+oslo&amp;fb=1&amp;hq=cafe+isabella's&amp;hnear=oslo&amp;cid=11507402605309271135\">little boozer</a> and to <a href=\"http://www.mack.no/raavarer.16439.no.html\">Sally MacLennane</a>.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Regarding what’s next, nothing official yet. There are crazy plans, and sensible ones. Some are close, yet most are far away.</p>\n<p>Whatever the case, I’m excited. It’s a great time to be a geek, and there is no excuse for not doing something great.</p>\n<div class=\"footnotes\">\n<hr><ol><li id=\"fn:p467909977-snd\">\n<p><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H8SFMA/?tag=rmateu-20\">The Pogues</a> - Sally Maclennane.
