Noteattack : cute little game for training musical notation

I tried this cute little free music game. It shows musical notation and you need to press corresponding note name either in your keyboard or midi controller. It can be connected to a MIDI keyboard trhough a USB-MIDI interface and notes can be pressed directly from the MIDI keyboard. Very simple and nice game for training musical notation:

How to redirect cmd output to both screen and file

Hello there! After many frustrating google searches & trials found a way how to redirect command line output to both screen & a file. But you would need to install Cygwin for this since a unix command Tee is needed in our case. This way redirects both stdout & stderr to both screen & file

1. Install cygwin ( google cygwin it is easy to find)
2. Add path of cygwin correctly to system path vairable
ex. path = %PATH%;C:\cygwin\bin\
3. Execute your command or batch file the following way
C:\>echo hello 2>&1 | tee file.log
C:\>mybatchfile.bat 2>&1 | tee file.log
