Don’t wake up the BABY! Turn the Windows BELL OFF!
11 PM Friday night… Working on a project tonight in the Windows version of MySql terminal, baby sound asleep in the next room, I’ve got my speakers turned way down and am listening to Drone Zone on Somafm.com when I copy & paste a rather large sql update query into my dos MySql window.
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* plus its WAY LOUDER than I have my actual volume set at! What the HELL! *BEEP* *BEEP* and on and on and on and I couldn’t close the window. Then the baby’s up and crying bloody murder!
Baby back to sleep at 1am.
NEW PROJECT KILL SYSTEM BEEP IN WINDOWS
20mins of screwing around with the volume & sound settings and the damn thing is still on… 1 minute of Googling and found this page which WORKED LIKE A CHARM!
