This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Norway to America
When Opera released version 8 of their browser last week the company’s CEO, Jon S. von Tetzchner, said he would swim from Norway to America if it was downloaded one million times in the following four days.
Unfortunately for him the target was reached and, being an honest man, he is now faced with actually doing the swim. This morning he stepped into a fjord and set off accompanied by Opera’s PR manager, Eskil Sivertsen, who says he will row alongside him in an inflatable raft to keep him company. You can follow his journey on Opera’s website where daily updates are promised.
OK, so it’s all probably a publicity stunt and Jon isn’t really going to try to swim all that way. Is he?
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
