Fun with Window's sounds

Cable went out today. No internet and no TV. I tried to watch a DVD, but I couldn't do it. It's weird how you can watch terrible movies when there on tv, edited and with commercials, but you can never sit down and watch DVD's of movies you love. For example on Friday I watched Osmoses Jones in it's entirety on HBO family, but today I couldn't even make it through an entire episode of Band Of Brothers. I used to think it was because when movies were on TV you didn't know when they would be on again and thus only had a fixed window to watch it. But I watch movies I own when there on TV even when I could throw in the DVD and get the tits, and not the commercials. I'm pretty sure thats the first time I've ever said "tits" on my blog. I would check that, but I can't access my blog because the internet is down. Luckily I happened to have a "Create Post" page open in Firefox when the internet went dry.

So when the internet goes down it's important to remember that there are things you can use a computer for that don't involve the internet. Did you know, Windows has a built in Calculator? After about an hour of that and a few more of freecell I got really bored. Bored enough to change my Blue Screen of Death to a *Red* Screen of Death. I can't wait for the next time windows crashes. I'll be all like oh no BSOD, oh but wait it's red. It will be just like when I switched the LCD's on my Xbox so that the status light was red when it was working and green when it was broken. Why? Because I like to live on the edge.

There was one more thing left to do on my computer before I was going to actually start organizing my 20,000 mp3's. That was to have some fun with my standard Windows sounds.

I changed my Windows logon and logoff to these:






My start Windows and exit Windows:




My USB device connect and Disconnect:




Just in case the USB device fails to connect:


The beep whenever a dialog box opens is now:


For some reason on my computer after this point I need to refresh my browser for the sound to work on the next 4 bytes. I don't know if you will have the same problem.

Low Battery:


Standard exclamation ---> Excellent!


Some events don't come with a standard windows sounds. So I put this for the event "question":


And this one for "Print Complete":


Of course to do this I was lucky enough to have a .MP3 to .WAV converter lying around from when I had me yelling "SHIZZZAM" as my Windows logon. Also for some reason Blogger was cutting off the last few frames of a few of the sound bytes. Whatever, this is awesome.
