So, I turned on #jackd to run some supercollider on my laptop, while leaving my webserver running. As per usual, #pulseaudio had a sulk and all of the audio stuff going on in the web browsers was put on hold, so youtube videos won't play etc.

The microsoft #outlook web client REALLY wants to play an annoying chime when it updates the email listing in the gui.  Apparently, it blocks on this, so the list of sent mail won't update when I'm running supercollider. (Guess what kind of example code I was sending to a student.)

But also it does just randomly fail to send things sometimes, which is why I was checking in the first place.....  (Computers are terrible part 17373896)
