Slashdot Mirror
Play Random Sounds for E-Mail Notifications?
An anonymous reader asks: "I, like many of my fellow Outlook-using geek friends, like to set funny sounds to be played when a new message arrives ('Leeroy Jenkins' is the one I have set now). However, we have always wanted to be able to have random sounds be played when a new message arrives, rather than the same sound over and over. I've searched high and low, and I was hoping Slashdot could suggest/write a program that can randomly play sound files from a specified folder when a new message arrives. Any ideas?"
Seriously! I asked a question about aggressively pursuing citizenship in a foreign country (i.e burning my current "bloodstained" U.S. passport in front of a government official in the country where I want to stay), and it wasn't accepted...I guess that question wasn't intelligent enough...Having my MS-Outlook cycle through .wav files, now there's "stuff that matters"....
No offense to the user who posted the original query...It's just a bit mushy of a question for this site, and my comments are aimed at the folks who decide which questions get the green light or not...
All you need is lurv.
