Grumble

Any thoughts I might have had of having a Saturday lie-in have been scuppered by the fact that the cold that I had last night has put its boots on this morning.

Lying down with a schnoz this active just isn't an option...

Ring-Tones

Nearly all my ring-tones on my iPhone are from TV shows. I don't know why, but TV themes lend themselves to the ring-tone format. Actually, as I type it occurs to me it's simply because they are cunningly edited to about the right length on the TV show, so although you have to edit down the full track to between 30 and 45 seconds for a ring-tone, you know the sequence you're looking for.

This afternoon I have created ring-tones from the Angel main theme and from Randle and Hopkirk (Deceased) - the original 1960s tune, not the one from the Vic and Bob remake. These go into the list with:

Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Banana Splits
Blackadder
Dr Who (default)
Eve of the War (from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds)
God Only Knows (Beach Boys)
Hawaii 5-0
Magician
Murder One
Old Phone (not a tune, just an old phone)
TARDIS effect
The Avengers
The Sweeney
Thunderbirds
UFO
Vandervalk
Yes Minister

All but one (and the two I made today) were provided by budgie_uk, who came to my rescue when I was getting close to throwing my PC across the room last summer. Making ring-tones turns out to be surprisingly simple, though you would never know from the iTunes instructions. Not like them at all (ahem), but there you are.
