Just changed to a new Nokia which has a 'record' facility. Apparently you
can record whatever you want, then use it as a ring tone! News to me -
although I'm prolly the last to find out.

This opens up huge possibilities - you can have an angle grinder as a ring
tone. Great!

Or an SDS drill, circular saw - anything.

Think I'm going for the SDS!

I got fed up with thinking I had an SMS, when it was someone else's.
Changed my SMS alert to the sound of an old fashioned klaxon.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman"
saying something like:

I've only just found that my old SE does that - bugger, the fun I could
have had with it. Handy though - it means I've now got a discrete
recording device with me all the time. Just the thing.

For an added bonus, you can probably allocate specific ringtones to known
callers.

Indeed!

I have a good 'Oh, No!' for calls from work.

I stole the file from my Asterisk box's TFTP server, where it doles up
configs and ring tones to my home Cisco 7940's. I think it originally
came from CloneDVD or somesuch, for when a burn failed.

I use the 'Bugger!' from Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral, for
when something fails on a PC.

Unless it is different from mine, you can only associate them with
caller groups. Nothing to stop you having one caller per group though,
but I'm not sure how many different groups you can have.

I had 'that' clip from the Apollo 13 mission for PC errors.


Ringtone on my phone is a peal of bells from Daresbury Church.

Google identifies this as an attack site that will attempt to install a
nasty on your PC.

My AVG did the same

Oo-er. Why didn't my AVG, then? WTF have I done/installed...?
