Fanurio 1.9: Time Tracking and Billing for Freelancers
Atelier Software has announced the release of Fanurio 1.9, a time tracking and billing application designed for freelancers. With Fanurio, freelancers can easily organize their work, track time and create invoices.
Each time a contract is signed, just add a new client to the application and create a project. During the project, users can add project items and expenses, decide anytime if an item is billable or not, and if it should be billed using an hourly rate or a flat rate. Billable items can later be added to an invoice. When the project is completed, it can be marked as finished to hide it from other ongoing projects.
Freelancers don’t have to wait for the completion of the project to create an invoice. Partial invoices can be created anytime during a project, or multiple projects, as well as see which invoices are paid, unpaid or overdue. Fanurio uses a powerful template language that can be used to create both simple and complex invoice templates. Using a customizable template, invoices may be exported to a HTML file so they can be printed or e-mailed.
Fanurio has an iTunes-like mini view that gives quick access to the timer. The time spent…

Quick Tip: Prevent Safari from displaying PDFs
Here’s a quickie…
For whatever reason, since upgrading to Leopard, Safari refused to display PDFs. Instead, they would automatically download, cluttering up my Downloads folder with PDF files I only wanted to look at once. I looked everywhere, but couldn’t find a checkbox or control anywhere that dictated whether PDFs should open in Safari or whether they should download to my hard drive. Some people might prefer PDFs to download directly. I didn’t.
Eventually, I got sick enough of PDFs downloading themselves against my will, so I decided to do a little searching. Not long after, I found the answer. Since I’m a nice guy, I’ll go ahead and share it with you here.
There is a Terminal command that allows you to turn inline PDF displaying on or off. To force all PDFs to download instead of displaying in Safari, type the following into the Terminal and press return:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES
To enable PDF viewing in Safari, type this instead:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool NO
It’s quick and easy to change, but not particularly accessible. A checkbox in Safari Preferences would be a welcome addition. At any rate, my PDF-viewing sanity has been restored.

Exclusive! CARS editor spotted with Brazilian model
Coming off the heels of John Moltz’s announcement that Crazy Apple Rumors (CARS--beep beep!) is going on hiatus, Deep Thought has learned from an incredibly reliable source that Moltz has been seen with a Brazilian supermodel somewhere in Manhattan.
Our source tells us that the two were spotted around Midtown Manhattan on what could be best described as a “wild night out on the town--dinner at an Italian restaurant followed by karaoke at a local bar.” We’re told Moltz gave a rousing rendition of Tha Backstreet Boys’ Quit Playing Games With my Heart, while his date belted out Ricky Martin’s She Bangs. Our source also noted that Moltz has a thing for appletinis.
Hey, who am I to judge someone by their choice of karaoke songs? And for that matter, alcoholic beverages? Appletini...Crazy Apple Rumors...makes sense to me.
Deep Thought currently doesn’t have photos of the sexy couple, but we’ve dispatched the paparazzi, and we’ll post photos whenever we get them.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
CARS is awesome,
Moltz, here’s to you.

Crazy Apple Rumors goes on hiatus. Seriously.
Mac geeks looking for a bit of humor will have one less option. Crazy Apple Rumors Site, AKA CARS, announced on Monday that it’s going on hiatus.
Why, John Moltz? Why??
CARS is the site that brought our attention to Artie MacStrawman (I hate that guy), leaked keynote outlines (OMGGG!!!), a name change for a popular Mac site, and Phil Schiller’s tendency to wear thongs.
Actually, that last one was my doing (
), but without a doubt, CARS is a strong influence on my occasional ( and sometimes lame) attempts at humor here at DT.
John, thanks for the laughs. Hopefully you’ll be back soon.

The iPod Touch January Software Upgrade
At this latest Macworld Expo, iPhone firmware 1.1.3 was announced, with features such as “customizable home screen,” “Webclips,” and a new interface for Maps. It was then announced that these enhancements, along with five applications previously only on the iPhone, would be coming to the iPod Touch in $20 “January Software Upgrade.”
Fast-forwarding past all the “it’s sooooooo unfair why Apple why?” aspects of the move, we must direct our attention to the applications themselves. In addition to the applications, the new features of iPhone firmware 1.1.3 (Webclips and Icon Layout on Springboard chiefly among them) were also included in the software upgrade. For iPhone users, the following rundown/review will say only what you already know. I’m providing this information for those of us who don’t have $60 to spend on phone service each month, no matter how functional and sexy and fingerprint covered the phone happens to be.
Mail and Maps
Mail is a light and decent email client, especially for a mobile device. With support for both POP3 and IMAP, Mail has preset configurations for several popular mail services, such as Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, as well as Apple’s own .Mac mail. Mail works with any other service…
