I am happy to introduce Jmaxxz Deet. The Deet assembly contains a single struct, NotNull. This struct provides a mechanism to formally specify that a reference can NEVER be null. This ability is present in both Spec# and Sing#. However, for those of us still making use of VB, C#, F# and other traditional .Net languages still do not have a mechanism to do so. NotNull brings this capability to all of those languages.
Null is Evil
Most of this article was lost in the move to my new site :’( Google cache does not have it either.
public interface IPerson
{
TimeSpan Age {get;}
string FirstName {get;}
string LastName {get;}
IBuilding House {get;}
}
public Party
{
private IPerson host;
public void GetDirections(IPerson Guest)
}
public static FamilyUtils
{
public static LivesWith(this IPerson person, IPerson possibleCohabitant)
{
return person.House.Equals(possibleCohabitant);
}
}

Tech Predictions for 2011
Well, a new year is here and I figured it would be fun to write down what I think is going to happen over the course of the next year in the tech industry. At the end of the year we will all be able to see exactly how wrong or right I was.

FlashFlak
If you are sick of having windows stuck behind a fullscreen Flash video you can buy a license for $1.50 (USD), or you can download the free version.
Both versions are identical, and both are open source programs distributed under the GPLv2
Click here to purchase FlashFlak.
Click here to download FlashFlak for free.
FlashFlak has been tested with:
- Firefox 3.6.3
- Chrome 4.1.249.1059 (44723)
- Opera 10.51
- Flash 10.0.45.2
- Windows 7
How to use:
FlashFlak starts with your computer and runs silently in the background. However, if it is not running (check the process tab in the taskmanager for FlashFlak.exe) it can be manually started from the “All Programs” menu on the start menu, look for “JmaxxzFlashFlak”.
FlashFlak has to be manually started after installing it on your computer, or simply reboot.

Jmaxxz Vulgar Word Blocker now Supports Chrome
Today I went to port the Jmaxxz Vulgar Word Blocker over into a Chrome userscript, and I was met by the pleasant surprise that it worked without any changes on my part. This is thanks to Google’s efforts in include Greasemonkey support into Chrome.
Actually it goes a step further than that, I have found the Jmaxxz Vulgar Word Blocker works better in Chrome than it does in Firefox, as it actually works with Google search results in Chrome!

FlashHacker
I have created a tool which makes hacking and unhacking a flash install incredibly easy. It should work on most versions of flash, however I can offer no guarantees that it will work on versions that I have not tested on.
