"The best ping story I've ever heard was told to me at a USENIX conference, where a network administrator with an intermittent Ethernet had linked the ping program to his vocoder program, in essence writing:

ping goodhost | sed -e 's/.*/ping/' | vocoder

He wired the vocoder's output into his office stereo and turned up the volume as loud as he could stand. The computer sat there shouting "Ping, ping, ping..." once a second, and he wandered through the building wiggling Ethernet connectors until the sound stopped. And that's how he found the intermittent failure."

The FreeBSD game collection had some tunes you could play on the PC speaker around 2004-2005. So I once found myself playing the simpsons tune on the PC speaker of a server (yes it had a pc speaker) on repeat, and going into the server room to find the damn thing.
