Hu, looks like I became famous over night. I really had no clue that this single extension is so popular. Anyway it's a good reason to write this post in English.

So what's this?

NoMoreiTunes is an extension for Safari 5 which disables the script that tries to start iTunes when you visit a link to the iTunes Store. It's annoying and redundant as there is iTunes Preview for Music and Apps now.

Since this doesn't work on movies I modified the redirecting page for them to show a big button which loads iTunes once (and only if) you click it. I'm working on this one to become a bit more powerful.

Thank you for over 10,000 downloads!

Version History

• 1.1: URLs responsible for creating new accounts on iTunes will now launch iTunes and no longer be blocked (I think there is some kind of use in launching iTunes in this special case)

• 0.5: Autoupdate fixed, additional URLs added

Nach viel Arbeit ist endlich die neue Seite für Georg Rudolph fertig geworden. Technisch kommen einige interessante Sachen zum Einsatz: Cufón für die Schrift, viel JavaScript-Voodoo für die Hintergründe und ein selbstgebautes Micro-CMS ohne Datenbank.

Wer Kurzweil sucht, findet unterhaltsame Kurzgeschichten im eingebauten Tumblr-Blog.

So long.

Für den Rest der Woche findet ihr mich auf der FMX 2010. Sollte einer von meinen Lesern dort unterwegs sein: Sprecht mich an, ich stehe wahrscheinlich des Öfteren am Stand der Hochschule Augsburg. Ich werde ab und an ein wenig twittern und sonst aber die Vorträge und Vorführungen genießen.

So long.
