I've updated the software page of this here website and added links to some more free things. You can now get hold of my Extend library, updated drag and drop stuff, and my extremely good-looking LightBox clone, DarkBox.
Enjoy.
I'm sick of looking at Javascript

I've been trying to figure out a bug that's reportedly been plaguing Shrunked for a month. I've only just managed to reproduce it, and I think I've finally solved the problem.
I really, really don't want to see any more Javascript for a few weeks. Thank God it's holidays next week and I can hang out with some humans for a change.
New versions of Open With and Shrunked
Posted: Tuesday, May 11 2010, 12:16 PM
Over the past few weeks I've been working my butt off (NOT!) on new versions of Open With (v4) and Shrunked (v2.5).
Open With is undergoing a major rewrite to make it more flexible and better performing. So far I've eliminated large chunks of repetitive code. The next phase which is almost ready is moving the core of the addon into a javascript module so that all the heavy lifting is only performed once when needed (before, it would happen for each window you had open).
Shrunked has picked up some code contributed from some users - it now scales images with much better quality, and in the next version will handle EXIF data from digital cameras.
Locale stats update

Since I last posted the number of Open With users has grown, quite a lot. So I thought I'd repeat my totally unscientific locales test and compare the results. There was a certainly surprise or two (hint: look at the big red bar in the middle).
In this chart, the Y axis is each locale as a percentage of the en-* locales, so for every 100 English users there are now 14.3 German users. (In the previous chart the Y axis scale is different so they don't match up.)
