Cool tool: Lutz Roeder's Reflector

Reflector by Lutz Roeder is probably the tool I use most often when developing .NET code, well just after Visual Studio 2005 anyway. And now there is a new version, 5, out. Still free, still excellent. Highly recommended.
 
Enjoy!

I came across this Windows Shellextension, which integrates Lutz Roeder's tool into the windows shell. Very cool :

Gives me insight into what the .NET framework is actually doing where in the old days I had to reverse engineer behavior by observation of a black box.

Quickly show me where a type is created or expose over multiple assembles, even with no source code.

Show me all derived types of a specific type is another useful feature.

Then there are all the plugins with add even more like dependency diagrams or the ability to dump the source back to disk.

The "aisto" link is a spammer's adword site now.  Any idea how to get in touch with Lutz, or find the actual site?
