The nutty author

All of these free applications available on this site were created by Markku Post-Uttula, a nuthead that spends way too much time with computers, working, or working with computers (and way too little time doing anything useful) - if you know what I mean.

Most of the applications available here were created - rather literally - decades ago, quite often to solve a specific issue at the time. There is zero expectation that any of them works on modern hardware or even runs under a modern operating system. This website exists purely for vanity purposes as a historical showcase of things long gone.

With that in mind…

Ongoing projects

Traktor Metadata Listener

Discontinued projects

MP-3000F

Application version:
1.0.3.0 (released April 13th, 2001)
Page modified:
August 1st, 2021

MP-3000F was intended to become the best computer mixing system for MP3-audio (why settle for being nothing but the best, right?) but unfortunately we no longer have the time to continue the project. Too little time and too much to do, you know :-(

It was definetly fun while it lasted, but at the moment there are so many better software packages available that I think continuing this project would be simply a great waste of time.

If the development at some later date would continue, the registered users would be in a priorized position to receive the updates before anyone else. A great thank you to all registered users. Your support helped me continue it this far.

Y.A.B.B.A. the Hub

Application version:
0.9.72 (released February 26th, 2003)

Y.A.B.B.A. the Hub is designed to overcome many obstacles on the way of running your own hub. Worth checking out, people.
