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?"

    no sh*t.

    This is what passes for "News for Nerds"???
    This, and 6 month old dupes of 25-yr old "How computers work" books???

    Really, it pisses me off to think that probably a few dozen members got their (far more interesting) stories rejected to make room for this sh*t.

    And you, sir, must hand over your humor and sarcasm cards.
