Pep’s Here

Oh well… I won’t have internet at home until June 9th. However, I’m still working in the new release for Speed Dial. I think I’ll be able to make the new release around June 1st, since I’ll go back to my old place. It should include thumbnail refreshing and editing. Quite a lot of people have been suggesting new features, and those will be added… However, I made my top priority to work out the most difficult one, and from there I’ll add more things.

This weekend I’ve been visiting Amsterdam… quite interesting city! I’m staying at “Holiday Inn Amsterdam”, and it’s really good hotel with a good price. There’s network port in the room, but unfortunately I didn’t bring my laptop with me. Oh well, I don’t even know if they offer internet for free… in the main hall there are a couple of computers, but the price is 0.35 euros… per minute!! Other than that, the food is good, the room is clean, and the people are nice.

Yesterday, my Speed Dial extension got an article in Download Squad, and later that was digged. Well… it certainly generated a lot of comments, with quite a lot of people complaining about Firefox copying Opera for the last years, about this extension being worse than the original Opera feature, etc, etc…

First of all, I’m not Firefox, or Mozilla. I’m just a programmer that spends some of his free time developing Firefox extensions, without any reward or interest, so, if you don’t like this extension, please, just ignore it. Constructive feedback is always welcome, but browser flame wars make me sad.

This extension will be improved little by little, like Firefox Showcase, and may become even more useful than the original feature it was inspired from. For me, that’s one of the best things about extensions: it’s development is parallel to Firefox.
