Simplify GR Updated to 1.3

Today I have released version 1.3 of my Safari extension, Simplify GR.

This release corrects a bug in which the keyboard shortcut used to open an article using FancyBox would not always open the correct article. It adds a checkbox in the Preferences screen for Simplify GR to hide feeds listed under Subscriptions that have no unread items in them. This should help people who use Google Reader to peruse hundreds of feeds and want a screen that looks a little more tidy.

On a minor note, I have updated the bundled jQuery library to 1.5.1.

Hit the update in Safari or download the latest version directly and try it out. (As usual, please post bug reports and feature requests on the actual Simplify GR page. Thanks!)

European Tour, Deel Twee

I really should have posted this sooner, but better late than never.

Last year we had the opportunity to travel to Europe again. We had been there a few years back and really enjoyed the atmosphere and sites. This time we toured a bit of the Netherlands and Italy. One of the great things about Europe is its age. There is a lot of history in the countries and so many places to visit (and sites to see) that there simply isn’t enough time to take everything in. In total we took nearly 1000 photos. Read more to see a photo gallery highlighting just a small selection of the great places we visited, along with some details about our trip.
