On 13rd December I've released a new version of Open IT Online. In this new version (v1.5), Open IT Online adds Pixlr to the group of the online image editors you can use. Pixlr is a great flash-based online image editor with a lot of features: you will easily forget about Photoshop. You just need Open IT Online and you will have many of the features you need in your day to day life.

As many of you may have already noticed on AMO site, I've recently stopped my effort in PDF Download development. Now the first extension I've ever created is fully under the ownership and responsability of NitroPDF. What else to say...I'm really proud of what I did with PDF Download and now I hope that NitroPDF will make PDF Download even more popular and useful.

Goodbye PDF Download, take care!

A new version of Open IT Online has just been published: thanks to this version, now we can edit images with Picnik, one of the most powerful online image editors. In addition to this, the new version fixes a small bug in the options dialog regarding the Google Apps url. For more details, you can see the full change log.

This week Open IT Online reached 500.000 downloads from AMO website. In addition to that, I'm also happy to say that almost 100.000 users use Open IT Online every day. I want also to anticipate that a new version of Open IT Online will be published in the coming days: this new version will include the support to one of the most sophisticated online image editor. Stay tuned

Mozilla have just released the first alpha version of Fennec: the mobile version of Firefox. At the moment Fennec can run only on Nokia N810 Internet Tablets; if you don't have such mobile, then you can always try Fennec in a Desktop environment. Fennec, even if still in alpha stage, supports:

• Bookmarks, including tags
• Smart URL bar ("awesome bar")
• Tabbed browsing with thumbnail images
• Integrated Web search - built into the URL bar
• Easy access to multiple search engines
• Zoom in and out
• Click on a phone number to initiate a call
• JavaScript API to get device location
• etc.

It's difficult to say now if Fennec will win the battle against Opera Mobile, Safari Mobile and others; for sure, the possibility to develop add-ons will help Fennec as it did for Firefox.
If you are still curios, you can see a video of Fennec.

Few weeks ago I've discovered a really nice Firefox extension, called TV Manager, that allows me to find quickly the answer to one of my most frequent questions: What's on TV tonight? TV Manager gathers television listings from different countries and channels and displays them in the browser sidebar in a convenient way.
At the moment, TV Manager can be installed only registering to the Mozilla Addons site: this is due to the fact that Mozilla editors didn't review it and make it public. I encourage you to write a review about TV Manageron the Mozilla site: more reviews an extension gets, more likely it becomes public.
TV Manager has been also certified 100% clean by Softpedia. It is definitely worth to give it a try!

Recently I've stumbled upon a cool website, Last.fm, where you can listen online to your favourite songs. The great thing is that Last.fm is able to propose other songs that you probably like. In fact, the website keeps track of the songs you listened and then it proposes some others that are similar. All that is for FREE and it works pretty well. There is also a cool Firefox extension, called Fire.fm, that allows you to play the songs directly from your status bar or toolbar. All in all, it represents a nice way to listen to your favourite music.

A new version of Open IT Online is available (v1.3). In this version I've included the support for Google Apps: this features was requested by many users. In addition, the new version allows editing background images.

And finally a quick geek note: I've refactored all the code to use namespaces in order to avoid function and variable naming collisions with other extensions and to minimize the number of global variables (if you want to know more about this problem, you can have a look at a post written on the Yahoo User Interface blog).

After 15 years of happiness spent together, Till has left us.
He was the first dog I've ever had and he has been more than a friend for me: we had a lot of fun together. I will never forget him.

I'm proud to say that this week Open IT Online reached and overtook 100.000 downloads (actually, now the counter is at 141.000)!!! Thanks to everybody that gave it a try and that keeps using it (40.000 daily users).
Another great news is that Open IT Online is now recommended by Mozilla.

I think Open IT Online will be another great success
