I finally resolved to move the trunk code of ImageTweak to GitHub. Up to now I never used any VCS for ImageTweak because I felt it was kind of overkill.

In the repository linked above you will always find the latest source of ImageTweak (modulo local changes not yet pushed to GitHub) with the added bonus that, by leveraging the GitHub infrastructure, you can fork ImageTweak with a single click, make changes to the source and send me pull requests to have them included in the official tree.

Am I the only one in the world wondering the hell why can’t Google merge Analytics, Webmaster Tools, Adwords and maybe even AdSense in a single, centralized control panel?
