Dan's Tech Tips:
Failing Hard Disc Sounds You Don't Want To Hear:
Failing hard disk drives will often (but not always) make distinctive noises.
Here's an excellent compilation of the sounds they make.
This is a great list of the various kinds of sounds that hard disk drives make
when they are failing.
The sounds are grouped by manufacturer, with the sounds that you really don't
want to hear listed for each vendor - Western Digital, Seagate, Samsung,
Hitachi/IBM, Maxtor, Fujitsu, Toshiba, and Quantum.
Just click on the circle with the triangle inside next to the link to hear the
sound for that manufacturer.
You can listen to stuck spindles, bad heads, bad bearings, failing heads, and
seized spindles.
Many of the sounds appear to be somewhat amplified so they can be easily heard.
Image of Hard Disk Drive
If you hear noises coming from your hard disk drive, back up everything you can
as quickly as you can, provided the disk still has some life left in it. :)
The hard disks I've had over the years that failed usually failed without a
sound or became so slow as to be almost unusable. One made a faint clicking
when the disk drive spun up. Your mileage may vary. :)
The site with the sounds belongs to a professional data recovery service, with
a link and a fast quote box. While it's a commercial site, listening to the
various failing hard disk drives is free.

Steve's Daily Tip:
Give Your Plants Some Java
First it was talking and singing to plants, now you might want to think about
sharing a coffee break with your green, leafy friends. Acidic coffee grounds
make an excellent soil conditioner or mulch for acid-loving plants like
conifers, azaleas and rhodeodendrons.
Apply a 3-inch-thick layer of coffee grounds around the base of acid-loving
plants, leaving a 6-inch ring of bare soil around the trunk to discourage
trunk-eating insects and voles that like to nest in mulch. If you don't have
enough organic coffee grounds to feed all your plants, visit your local coffee
shop and ask for theirs.

Did You Know?
... that today is Natural Law Day, marking this date in 1417 when a chicken in
Basel, Switzerland, was burned at the stake for violating natural law by laying
a brightly colored egg.
The chicken was believed to be an Araucana-Ameraucana Strain, or the "Easter
Egg Chicken," which gets its name from the Indian tribe of Chile where they
were first discovered. Araucanas lay colored eggs of blue-green shades from
turquoise to deep olive.

A Little Bit More
give it your all. That's when you can make the biggest difference.
It is when you reach the edge of your abilities, and you come face to face with
your limitations, that you begin to grow. When you are forced to push yourself
beyond the limit, you will raise yourself above the crowd.
Give it all you've got, and then give it a little bit more. That little bit
will make all the difference. That little bit will turn struggle into
achievement. It only takes one point more than the other team, to win the Super
Bowl. It only takes a few hundredths of a second less than the nearest runner,
to win the race.
Making the effort will keep you in the race. Giving a little bit extra on top
of that, will make you a winner.

The Secret
A woman named Vicki once knew a young person at church named Susan. Susan
always seemed effervescent and happy, although Vicki knew she had faced
struggles in her life. Her long awaited marriage had quickly ended in divorce.
She had struggled to get a grip on her single life. She hadn't chosen it, but
she decided she would live it with utmost enjoyment and satisfaction. Susan was
active in Sunday school, in the choir, as a leader of the junior high girls'
group, and in the church renewal movement. Vicki enjoyed knowing Susan. Susan's
whole face seemed to smile.
One day, Vicki asked Susan, "How is it that you are always so happy, you have
so much energy, and you never seem to get down?" With her eyes smiling, Susan
said, "I know the Secret!"
"What secret is that? What are you talking about?" Vicki asked.
Susan replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share
the Secret with others."
Vicki agreed, "Okay, now what is it?"
The Secret is this:
"I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly
happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and meet my needs. When a need
arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to His riches. I
have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do. He has
never let me down. Since I learned the Secret, I am happy."
Vicki's first thought was, "That's too simple!" But upon reflecting over her
own life, she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy, but
it didn't. She thought a better paying job would make her happy, but it hadn't.
When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her
grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story. A simple gift
from God. Susan knew the Secret, Vicki learned the Secret, and now you know it
too!
We can't depend on people to make us happy. Only God in His wisdom can do that.
Trust Him. And now, I pass the Secret on to you!
So once you get it, what will you do?
YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it's not really a secret...
We just have to believe it and do it...
Really trust God!
