N.A.N.Y. 2024 / NANY 2024 Release: Mycoff

« on: January 01, 2024, 08:56 PM »

NANY 2024 Entry Information

Application Name	Mycoff
Version	1.0.0
Short Description	Mute a microphone input with a global hotkey
Supported OSes	Windows 10/11. Probably works, but not tested, on Windows Vista/7/8.
Web Page	Website
Download Link	Download
System Requirements	A computer with at least one microphone input.
Version History	Changelog
Author	Jody Holmes (Skwire Empire)

Description
Mycoff is a program that allows for an easy way to mute a microphone input with a global hotkey.  Plenty of programs exist that allow muting of playback interfaces -- speakers, headphones, etc -- but I couldn't find very many that allowed easy muting of a microphone input using a global hotkey.  This type of functionality is rather handy if you routinely use video chat apps such as Teams, Zoom, Skype, etc.


Features

• Mute (a single mic input)
• Unmute (a single mic input)
• Toggle (a single mic input)
• Mute all inputs
• Unmute all inputs
• Toggle all inputs

Usage
Installation
Download the zip file and extract its contents into a new folder.  Run Mycoff.exe.

Uninstallation
Exit the application and delete the folder you unzipped it to.  No changes are made to the registry.

N.A.N.Y. 2023 / NANY 2023 Release: IPMI Tool GUI

« on: January 01, 2023, 02:05 PM »

NANY 2023 Entry Information

Application Name	IPMI Tool GUI
Version	1.0.0
Short Description	IPMI GUI app with multiple system support.
Supported OSes	Windows 10. Probably works, but not tested, on Windows XP/Vista/7/8/11.
Web Page	Website
Download Link	Download
System Requirements	A computer with network access and a server/workstation that has a BMC which speaks the IPMI protocol.
Version History	Changelog
Author	Jody Holmes (Skwire Empire)

Description
BMCs and the IPMI Protocol: Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) are a type of embedded computer used to provide out-of-band monitoring for desktops and servers. These products are sold under many brand names, including HP iLO, Dell DRAC, Sun ILOM, Fujitsu iRMC, IBM IMM, and Supermicro IPMI. Nearly all servers and workstations ship with or support some form of BMC.  Interface (IPMI) is a collection of specifications that define communication protocols for talking to these BMCs. This specification is managed by Intel and currently comes in two flavors, version 1.5 and version 2.0.

I run/manage/access many of these types of servers and, for years, have used the some form of the CLI program ipmitool.exe to monitor alarms, get data, and modify settings.  For DonationCoder's NANY 2023 promotion, I decided to start writing a simple GUI interface for the CLI ipmitool.exe.  Of course, there are existing GUI programs for this purpose, but this one is mine.  If you do not have access to a server/workstation with a BMC that uses the IPMI protocol, this program will be of no use to you.

Features

• You can learn more about BMCs and the IPMI protocol here.
• This first release of IPMI Tool simply queries the sensors of the BMC, typically the temperatures, fan speeds, and voltage.  I plan to add more functionality to this program as I make time: event logs, network display and control, fan control, user control, and more.
• This first release stores passwords in plaintext in the hosts.ini file.  I will remedy this in a future release.  If you have concerns about this, please don't use the program.

Planned Features

• Export options
• Event logs display
• Network display and control
• Fan control
• User display and control

Usage
Installation
Download the zip file and extract its contents into a new folder.  Run IPMIToolGUI.exe.

Uninstallation
Exit the application and delete the folder you unzipped it to.  No changes are made to the registry.

« on: January 01, 2022, 02:18 PM »

NANY 2022 Entry Information

Application Name	sSpeedtest
Version	1.0.5
Short Description	Speedtest.net GUI app with multiple locations.
Supported OSes	Windows 10. Probably works, but not tested, on Windows XP/Vista/7/8.
Web Page	Website
Download Link	Download
System Requirements	A computer with Internet access.
Version History	Changelog
Author	Jody Holmes (Skwire Empire)

Description
At times in the past, I've had some upload issues with my home internet connection. To help show my ISP that the issue was with their peering, and not my equipment, I had written a quick'n'dirty script which ran speedtests to various Speedtest.net servers all over the world.  sSpeedtest replaces that script, and is a Speedtest.net GUI application which allows you to build a list of Speedtest.net servers and easily run speedtests on all of them.

Features

• Uses the Speedtest.net CLI found here: https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli
• Add as many Speedtest.net servers as you would like. To find out the server ID of a Speedtest.net server, follow the guide here: https://www.dcmember...dtest-net-server-id/
• Includes an option to quickly add a group of Speedtest.net servers closest to you.

Planned Features

• Export options.

Usage
Installation
Download the zip file and extract its contents into a new folder.  Run sSpeedtest.exe.

Uninstallation
Exit the application and delete the folder you unzipped it to.  No changes are made to the registry.

Author	Jody Holmes (Skwire Empire)

Description
Add battery percentage to window titlebar text.  Also adds a battery icon to the system tray to show battery life.

Features

• Currently, it updates every fifteen seconds (will be made configurable at some point).
• A plus in front of the battery glyph (+🔋) shows that you're charging (plugged in) while a minus (-🔋) shows that you're discharging (not plugged in).
• Exiting from the tray icon should clean up the title bar text.
• Not all title bars are modifiable, so some windows won't show the battery percentage information.
• Windows that constantly update their title bar text, like some text editors, will remove the battery info. However, the fifteen second timer will bring it back.

Planned Features

• Configurable refresh timer.
• Auto-start with Windows option.

Screenshots

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / NANY 2018 Release: SubAHK

« on: January 01, 2018, 02:09 AM »

NANY 2018 Entry Information

Application Name	SubAHK
Supported OSes	Windows 7 (Probably works, but not tested, on Windows XP/Vista/8/10)
Web Page	Website
Download Link	Download
Author	Jody Holmes (Skwire Empire)

Description
Subsonic desktop client. I’ve run my own personal Subsonic server for many years and make use of several different clients depending on platform. However, none have the sort of easy playlist manipulation I want, so I started writing SubAHK.

• To make use of SubAHK, you must run, or have access to, a fully licensed Subsonic server (or use one of the license-not-needed forks mentioned below). That said, please consider running the official Subsonic product and supporting its author with a paid Premium License.
• SubAHK is not feature complete at this time. This release of SubAHK only has the playlist manipulation features I wanted. That is, currently, it doesn’t even support playback of files. I do plan to further develop SubAHK as time allows.
• SubAHK makes use of the official Subsonic API. Therefore, I have no idea if it works with any of the Subsonic forks out there such as MadSonic, AirSonic, etc. If these forks support the official Subsonic API, they should work. No promises, though.

Screenshots



Usage
Installation
Download the zip file and extract its contents into a new folder.  Run SubAHK.exe and choose Options from the menu.  Enter your server credentials and off you go.

Uninstallation
Exit the application and delete the folder you unzipped it to.

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / NANY 2018 Release: WHAT (Windows Hotkey Activator Tool)

« on: January 01, 2018, 01:19 AM »

NANY 2018 Entry Information

Application Name	WHAT (Window Hotkey Activator Tool)
Supported OSes	Windows 7 (Probably works, but not tested, on Windows XP/Vista/8/10)
Web Page	Website
Download Link	Download
Author	Jody Holmes (Skwire Empire)

Description
Assign hotkeys to activate/focus windows.  This was a recent request by stisev on 2017-12-20; the original thread was here.

Screenshots




Usage
Installation
Download the zip file and extract its contents into a new folder.  Run What.exe to start the application.

Notes

• The window matching comprises the following criteria: process name, window title, and window class.  You will almost certainly have to play around a bit with the text to get certain windows to activate and, even then, some may not.  Furthermore, you do not need to use all three criterion for a given hotkey.  Don't be afraid to experiment.
• While the add/edit hotkey dialog is open, all hotkeys are disabled.  They are enabled after you click the save button or close the add/edit hotkey dialog.
• Checkboxes in the main list enable and disable individual hotkeys.
• You can assign the same hotkey to multiple entries and it will activate all the windows in top-down order.  You can easily change the order in the list.
• Check out the Options menu for a few usability options.
• The hotkey selection GUI is such that you can specify just about any combination of keys, mouse buttons, and modifiers.  Go crazy.

Uninstallation
Exit the application and delete the folder you unzipped it to.
