Apparently Opera 9 TP2 will be released tomorrow. I'm excited about this because in numerous bug reports and emails that I've sent to Opera developers over the past 4 months, lately all I hear is "This is fixed in our current development build".

Looks like Treebuilder is back online with a nice new interface. All the games and SVG experiments are in-place. Some nice SVG icons/artwork too. No entries in his blog yet. Welcome Back, Holger.
