my macbook plays a sound every so often (maybe an average of about 30 mins, but varies) that sounds like 3 ascending chimes (not massively dissimilar to the tannoy announcement sound in a train station)... then a bit after if will do the inverse (descending chimes - also not dissimilar to a train station...)

anyone know what app it is cuz the sound is maddening! i could go through my apps one by one and leave em off but that wouldn't be conclusive so thought i'd ask on trust old OcUK :)

p.s. hope everyones not still stressed at me for my thread starting spree last week...
 
HOLY CHRIST! I was just about to board a Boeing 747 to Syria!!! I thought i WAS waiting for a taxi you've saved me some trouble mate!

seriously... it just happened again, but NOTHING happens... its not a mail, an IM, nothing! GRRRRRRRRRR. (I think i may well be going funny in the head :()

yeah sorry man, was just carrying on the joke there...

i tell you what fella's, the mac section is the only part of this forum where people just dont understand that not everyone understands everything you guys do... i'm NEW TO IT ALL FFS!!!

once i know all the ins and outs, then i'll be joining in answering the noob's questions and i sure as hell wont be having a go at them about it...

i'm pretty sure i could wipe the floor with a few of you when it comes to other things i'm into... but does it BOTHER me that some people aren't as good and would like to learn? hell no!

now pack it it the lot of ya... i don't make you reply to my threads... if you wanna help me out with my "noob" questions then its much appreciated, if you don't then don't even come in!

"Stop. Making. Pointless. Threads"

now THATS a pointless post if i ever saw one!

you've all seriously gotta stop getting worried about ooo this post should have gone in this thread and all that crap, stop being so anal about it its JUST A FORUM, a great place to give and receive information and THATS IT! Its also a fun place to hang around when people aren't so agro!

/rant over. JEEZ!

what the hell are you all on about??? if i have a seperate question, ask it in an unrelated thread? thats not how the forum structure works!?! a thread title is the title of the related discussion, then all related posts are together... otherwise when people search by thread title for specific things they'd miss a lot of useful stuff!

any Justin, "keep the amount of threads down" - what the hell for? there is absolutely no logical reason to not separate different topics into their own threads! are you worried about me using up too many kb's of OcUK's server space? cuz i'm sure they can handle it...

mac owners are weird, except me, i'm straight down the line :D... this place is mad.
 
right ok, next time i have a question i consider to be particularly noobish, i'll create a thread called QuiKsiLVeR's Noob Questions, and keep em all in there...

whatever makes you lot happy.

(but personally if i was looking at the mac thread from a knowledgeable persons point of view... i would see a thread title relating to something i know about, and that would be my reason for going in... but like i said, if me having just the one thread will keep the peace then so be it...)
 
thanks god for that there are a few people who agree with me...

if it was up to you lot, we'd just have the one thread with a few thousand posts in it... keep it all together nice and neat ;) (actually, thats unfair, you'd probably have one thread in software and another one in hardware...)

(sorry to take the **** but it is bloody crazy)

On a serious note, I am actually in disbelief at how people have got so upset that i have posted too many times on a forum :confused: who the hell cares?

I have also NEVER understood the people that get annoyed because other people don't search??? they might not disagree, but people actually get annoyed!?! I actually do search for most things i ask by the way, and a lot of the time i would also like the forums opinion, cause although a select few members of the mac section of OcUK are pretty damn inhospitable, i still value your opinions.

Bottom line, its a public forum that i have used for years without issue, stop getting annoyed at incredibly trivial stuff!

lol indeed i did... it was adium making the stupid sounds but it was not obviuos cuz nothing was actually happening as far as i could see...

changed the option to visual notifications only... all good now :)

(btw i also switched off growl... i just don't see why its necessary... for example if i get a mail, theres a small beep and i get a red "1" on the mail icon in the dock, if someone messages me, the little green duck goes crazy and waves his arms :D - so yeah, turned that off :))
