Hey now, I never denied having Flappie. I just installed him myself; it wasn't a joke or anything. I like the little guy. ^^ jsyk.

I've run into a bit of a problem being the only Mac user in my group of business partners, with whom I sometimes have meetings in AIM chat rooms. Adium won't let me save logs of these chat meetings at all for some reason, and iChat has that annoying stipulation of only allowing you to save logs...

8:00 pm: Howled. Doc, you are correct. XD OMG ora you are a lifesaver! This wasn't really a problem per se, but now I don't have to be freaked out because my computer's making strange sounds and I don't know where they're coming from! Thanks!!!

8:25 am: crowed. ><' I'm putting Growl back on (I did uninstall it; Adium's been giving me hell). Switched back to TWC widget, not that that seemed to matter either. I am officially at a loss. I am completely out of ideas. Any more suggestions from you guys? Suppose I'll start asking...

5:54 pm: Howled. Still haven't bothered switching back to my TWC widget... Delta, I don't have any other user accounts. I guess I could create one for the purpose of testing this theory, but otherwise, I have no idea. I guess I could uninstall Growl... argh. *do*

5:50 pm: Howled. ><' I turned off the Weather Channel widget and have been using the default weather widget that comes with Dashboard. I know that can't be causing this problem or else more people (like, every other person with a MacBook) would have it. Argh. I'm putting my TWC one back on...

The widget? Oh, fine... I use that every morning... *sigh*

5:37 pm yesterday: howled. Stopping Growl didn't seem to have an effect. Doc, the sunrise/set theory has been proposed, and it does make sense to a degree. The Console never shows anything relevant or consistent, and sometimes doesn't even show an entry for a half hour or so before the...

5:31 pm: Howled. I stopped Growl, but I'm a little hesitant to actually quit it as I use it pretty much ocnstaantly in conjunction with things like Firefox and Adium. I guess we'll see. Is it common for Growl to do this sort of thing?

5:16 pm: howled. That would make sense if I had ever been to woot.com in my life. Although, along the lines of somebody-installed-something-without-my-knowledge, perhaps one of my friends did access that site at some point; pretty much every time this thing's been borrowed, it's been for...

5:15 pm: howled. Console shows the following as most recent entry under All Messages: 1/12/09 4:55:44 PM [0x0-0xe00e0].org.mozilla.firefox[5334] Debugger() was called! So, like I said before, nothing regarding the strange noises shows up in the console. I checked my Login Items, and the...

5:13 pm: howled when I first opened it up, waking it from Sleep mode. Didn't get a chance to spot anything on the Activity Monitor, but I'll try that next chance I get. The only things in my menu bar are Growl, Spaces, Bluetooth, AirPort, Ink, and the volume control, language settings...

*bump* 5:00 pm exactly: Howled. Most recent log entry before howl: 1/5/09 4:57:01 PM ntpd[25] time reset -1.875777 s No such thing appeared in the log before the last observed animal noise, as I recall. Seriously, has anyone else ever experienced this? It's really weirding me out...

7:07 am: Crowed. Nothing in the logs since 6:24, unless there's someplace I'm not looking... (JD, Pong Clock is just a basic clock, but it plays pong in the display (on the clock face, as it were). The user can pick up a paddle and play against the computer at any time, if she likes. It' pretty...

Nobody's had access to my computer, and as random as the sounds appear, it seems like it'd be a pretty complicated prank to implement. The Sounds menu in System prefs was completely unhelpful, but I don't have any special alerts set as far as I know. My comp is a 2.4 GHz Macbook with an Intel...
