Virtual midi drivers

On the hunt for a free virtual midi driver solution is no joke. I am going to take a minute and build another page with links and keywords for "free virtual midi driver" aka "virtual midi driver" and "virtual midi".

Well I hope somebody out there on the internet finds this page while on the same adventure I was. After a few long frustrating hours of digging around all the junk, I finally found a couple solutions that are truly free. Non of that fake free crapware.

4 or 12 virtual midi ports that is the question.

4 virtual midi ports for the price of free. Grab the update and get 12 ports. This projected once hailed MapleMidi has pretty much died and fell off the edge of cyberspace. Although there doesn't seem to be much of a community or updates around the software, the software still works beautifully. There is also an API to dork around with if you are a coder and want to get even more out of MapleMidi.

8 virtual midi ports

The last one I found is called MidiYoke it seems to work very well with Vista/Win7 and Windows XP. The new version provides 8 virtual midi ports, and the website is still active with a forum! That's good right?

Convert AVI to iPhone MP4

There are a ton of commands out there for ffmpeg and how to convert avi files to mp4, specifically for viewing on the iphone. Well most of them did not work for me. My last attempt to find a quick command was at commandlinefu, and it worked, very well even. So here it is, thanks cmdfu! Grab ffmpeg, you will need it!

4:3 Conversion

ffmpeg -i source-xvid.avi -s 480x320 -aspect 4:3 -b 768k -ab 64k  -ar 22050 -r 30000/1001 OUT.mp4

16:9 Conversion

ffmpeg -i source-xvid.avi -s 480x320 -aspect 16:9 -b 768k -ab 64k  -ar 22050 -r 30000/1001 OUT.mp4

Mongoose the simple web server

Mongoose is an easy to use web server. It can be embedded into existing application to provide a web interface to it.

Mongoose web server executable is self-sufficient, it does not depend on anything to start serving requests. If it is copied to any directory and executed, it starts to serve that directory on port 8080 (so to access files, go to http://localhost:8080). If some additional config is required - for example, different listening port or IP-based access control, then a mongoose.conf file with respective options (see example) can be created in the same directory where executable lives. This makes Mongoose perfect for all sorts of demos, quick tests, file sharing, and Web programming.

Features

• Crossplatform, Windows, MacOS and most flavors of UNIX
• CGI, SSL, SSI, Digest MD5 auth, resumed download, aliases
• IP-based ACL, GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE methods
• Small footprint
• Embeddable with simple and clean API 
• Source is in single .c file to make things easy
• Language suport for C/C++, C# and Python

Thank you Mario!

HoTTProxy

This has to be one of the simplest free open source proxy servers I have come across that supports linux/unix and windows operating systems. It is easy to use and configure, it's portable so no installation is required, although on the downside it doesn't look like the development and community has been very active lately, but if you have perl coding skills you could fix any bugs yourself. If you know of any better simple proxy servers please let me know!

For more information and downloads on HoTTProxy visit the official website at, http://www.hottproxy.org

iPhone Flash Video Plugin For Safari

First let's get one thing straight kids, this is a plugin for Safari like the popular download plugin floating around out there. Let it be known this plugin ONLY works on Flash Videos, like on Youtube. It basically re-encodes the flash video into an inline viewable mp4 video. So this is by no means a completely flash player, it's basically an almost realtime flash video converter.

If you are like me and visit reddit, or other social news sites and come accross videos that you can't watch then you will really appreciate this.
