I was thinking earlier today, after having received yet another notification on my phone, that I should do something about changing the notification alert sounds on some of my android applications. You know, to make it a tad easier to know what is coming in, with the hopes of an easier way to separate the so-called wheat from the chaff.
That got me to realize that it's been a really long time since I've done anything of the source with my phone(s). I used to be one of those kinds of people that would have custom ring tones for every single person in my contacts list. I would have custom sounds for the each incoming text. Custom notification sounds FTW! Right?!
I would go through a multitude of apps and web sites and everything, finding all the cool sound bites and bits and bobs and etcetera.
Perhaps as I've gotten older, I just don't care as much? Honestly, for the vast majority of time my phone is on silent. The only important alerts that I get are from family, and they are permitted through the "quiet time". Every time that I think, "you know, it might be nice to be able to distinguish one message app from another", it's just not important enough to take the 30 or so minutes that it would require to invest in making that change.
There are probably other things that I used to do as well, that just aren't as important to me these days, but this was certainly one of them.
