Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a free bagpipe ringtone for your iPhone!

Yeah, we know St. Patrick’s Day isn’t until Monday, but we also know our readers are raging alcoholics, and will likely begin drinking at 5PM this afternoon (if they haven’t already), and not stop until sometime after Labor Day. So, in an effort to give you guys something stupid to do in between blackouts, we’ve had Macenstein’s head bagpiper, Bill McEvoy, whip up us an iPhone-compatible ringtone you can impress your friends with while celebrating the 3rd-least important US holiday there is, St. Paddy’s Day. (Oh, and if you are in the NY/NJ area and need a bagpiper (and who doesn’t?), Bill’s your man!).
While all bagpipe songs are annoying enough to make a good ringtone, Bill settled on the classic “The Minstrel Boy“, and as it turns out, it makes a truly ear-splitting ringtone, capable of cutting through the din of even the noisiest bar.
Installing the ringtone should be easy. Simply download it from the link below, be sure your iTunes library is set to “Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized” in iTunes’ “Advanced” preference tab, and drag this bad boy into the main iTunes window. You should then be able to sync to your iPhone from the Ringtones tab. Enjoy, and thanks again, Bill!
Right-Click here to download Macenstein’s “The Mistrel Boy” ringtone, and hit “Save Target File As…“. Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Macenstein!
This guy has more problems than his num lock key…

Faithful Macenstein reader TheCos came across this Apple discussion support post made by BenjiJosef that must be read to be believed (and even then….)
Hey guys,
I had a slight mishap last night. I urinated onto my MacBook Pro while sleeping Walking after having a few too many. The computer works fine; however, I can not get my num lock to turn off so that I can login. Every other key seems to work fine, except that one. Is there anyway to bypass this? Thanks guys.
Sincerely,
Your Sleep Walking Urinator
Unless his bathroom looks like this, BenjiJosef has no excuse.
There are many things I could suggest that might help BenjiJosef, not the least of them being to maybe find a good 12-step program and a more secure location for his MacBook. On the odd chance this is indeed a serious post, probably the easiest thing he could do would be to reset his password using the install disk. But I’m not about to tell him that until he admits he has a problem.
Three uses for a dead PowerMac G3
Much like the resourceful native Americans who learned to use every part of the Buffalo they hunted, faithful Macenstein reader Devin Singley recently managed to re-purpose the innards of his dead G3 PowerMac and put them to good use, creating items such as a liquor cabinet, a Christmas display, and a cat brush. (Well, OK, maybe not good use, but a use nonetheless).
Writes Devin:
“I recently took apart my old PowerMac G3. No better excuse than it seemed like the thing to do at the time. I was then struck with inspiration. One computer has three uses!”
“New use one - Christmas Decoration. I wonder what my neighbors think. I call this piece “Ghost in the Machine.”
