Active Projects

ContextConsole Shell Extension

The ContextConsole Shell Extension adds an "Open Command Prompt" menu item to the context menus (right-click menus) in Windows Explorer so that you can open a command prompt in the selected directory (or directories) or in the current directory that you are viewing.

The ContextConsole Shell Extension is very lightweight, supports network paths, is available in multiple languages, and is open-source.

HashCheck Shell Extension

The HashCheck Shell Extension makes it easy for anyone to calculate and verify checksums and hashes from Windows Explorer. In addition to integrating file checksumming functionality into Windows, HashCheck can also create and verify SFV files (and other forms of checksum files, such as .md5 files).

It is fast and efficient, with a very light disk and memory footprint, and it is open-source.

NoRedirect

NoRedirect is a Firefox/SeaMonkey extension that lets the user take control of HTTP redirects. It can be used to interdict an ISP's DNS search redirection hijacks, preview/screen "shortened" URLs, stop the annoying redirection of "smart" error pages, etc.

Flexible and customizable, NoRedirect puts an end to the usability nuisances of redirects, such as the inability to correct mistakes in the address bar, without affecting legitimate, useful redirects.

QuickDrag

QuickDrag is a Firefox/SeaMonkey extension that extends the function of the drag-and-drop mouse gesture so that it can be used to load URLs, do a web search of selected text on a page, or save an image on a page—all with a simple drag-and-drop.

URL Flipper

URL Flipper is a Firefox/SeaMonkey extension that allows you to easily increment or decrement a portion of a URL without having to manually edit the text in the Location Bar.
