I used to check for upgrades to Opera almost every day because there were bugs that I wanted to have fixed, but ever since 6.01 I’ve been quite happy with the stability. As a result, I haven’t been nearly as anxious to get the latest version. I checked it today and found that version 6.02 has been released. There aren’t many new features but they’ve done some bug fixes to the document and user interface, so it’s worth the upgrade.

There is a growing collection of minimalist web sites garnered mainly from user submissions. Some of the sites are very usable too, but I must point out that minimalism and usability are not synonomous even though they often work well together.
