How geek are you?

I've just got an idea from this thread, and thought to start a thread about how geeks we are.

So, let us know how geek are you?

I guess a photo will also help, so post one if you have. BTW should we give a prize to the most geek of webdigity? :)

I guess I'm pretty high on the geek list:

• Leather jacket? Yes, I have one!
• Glasses? Yes, I need to wear them.
• Motorcycle lover? The only way I can drive is a moped, so of course I do!
• Favorite activity on a day off? Computer programming or repairing of course.
• Favorite music? Computer generated or alternative.
• Way I remember my schedule? My PDA, of course.

Here's my pic:

I think I must be one, because I will do nothing without computer.
I will sit on the computer for all day, even date a girl, I will use the net.

Dating a girl with a computer? Does this works?

sure check lexa one of the biggest datings sites that work

I know at leat two people having a relation because of e-dating

Interesting. I supposed it should work (as there are many sucessful dating sites) but I never heard of a real story :)

I am also a member at this other forum where the two admins now two owners got hitched through the forums... They met after a few years of arguing about semantics and they never parted since...


How geek am I?

I'll let you know when I replace my Mobo and VC and flash in a new BIOS to my work PC and get it's broadband connection back up as well. After of course reinstalling the OS and achieving this using a WinPE and checking if all hardware are a Go before actually putting all the hard work in...

Now that's geek designer! Where were you the last couple of days?

I was actually having troubles with my work PC, it encountered XP Black Screen Of Death... Currently I'm busy reviving it, if not, I have to reinstall the whole thing. Two PC's in one week to break, the first has a burnt VideoCard (VC), I forgot to turn-on my air-conditioning unit that day, I purchased a new exact same one but failed to boot it up, I might have a burnt MOBO as well, I hope its just my AGP slot.

The second PC for storage had a BSOD, now I'm just using my old Laptop in this cafe here to surf. At least they have free wi-fi here so I can use it as long as I keep buying coffee or croissants.

Sorry for the slight hi-jack of the thread...

Just glad you are ok, my friend.

Anymore geeks???

We need more geeks! I think Meth0d is one...lol :D ;)

Strange, it appears that most people here, have the illusion that they are not geeks :P

I guess I am one :D

How geek am I? Hmm lets see:
Ask for directions? no, my PDA with GPS receiver will show me the way, thank you.

Reaction after the first time seeing Toy Story: How much time do you think the rendering took?

Do you need to know something about anything? Let me Google it.

Even with my l33t googling skills I couldn't find that piece of hardware I need, 2 weeks later I have it all tested and working sitting here on my desk, designed and soldered by yours truly.

Why doesn't the spell checker know googling?

I'm not a geek why? because I don't like to have a PDA (just got the new SE W580i)

Is there some sort of quiz I could take on this topic? I mean, what's the criteria?

here you go: http://www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html

funny... I have less than 8% and I'm a Poser (whatever that means)

Yeah! According to that test, I am a Total Geek! woot!

LOL, I am 24,485% geek :)

I'm a total geek at 32% ;D

Alright, we're in the same category, Mind_nl!

I'm doing some geek stuff right now :D (changing my blog's look and script, changing my company's store script, etc.).

I refuse to give up my score... but it was significantly higher then that, but and its a big but I use to be a Lab technician for an engineering dept so I'm bound to have a soldering kit, electronic devices, volt meters, sparc servers, chemistry equipment...

so whats next? who is the biggest geek :) (I guess I'm not)

That's no excuse, I own most of that...

but were you a lab technician? if not then I've proven my excuse :D

no, but that doesn't proof that you wouldn't own it if you hadn't been a lab technician ;)

So what's your score?

I should before saying my score point out I studied Physics at university as well as computing.
The roleplaying books technically are not on a bookcase but in the attic.
I use to live in a shared house with a media student who had a huge sci fi movie collection and we didn't have a tv license so we could only watch what we had on tape or DVD









79%

stop coming up with excuses for your high score. The fact that you studied physics and computing only proofs what a geek you are!

I don't mind being called a geek :)

With that score you are beyond geek... ;)

I think I have plenty of non geek traits to hide my geekish tendencies ;)

I'll have to add the total geek button to my blog again, or add it to the "Cool Sites" links. Great site!

WTG ventureskills on being a uber-geek!

Its quite sad you think being an uber geek is a good thing?

With that score I think you are a geek evangelist Tim :)

Your score just earned you a new title! ;D

cheers just what I always wanted ;)
They did miss the obvious question...
Have you been to a hack day?

wait I'm just digging a deeper hole for myself.

I did win at bowling quite a feat given I had a very bad back that day.

On the test 35.89744... But no one has yet called me a geek in person... Whats not on the list is tinkering with engine parts... Knowing where every bolt is on a 4G-32 engine, knows the difference between diesel and gasoline engines... Playing AirSoft Guns and Wargames, and all else Im a geek and an engine head...

If you don't watch it man, you'll earn yourself a new title...LOL ;)

Your only making it worse, my parents wouldn't let me learn to drive until I could strip a car engine clean it and put it back together, and very sadly I do have engine remapping software for my car on the laptop and have remapped the onboard computer :( I am a geek

You remapped the computer? Wow. I've always wanted to learn how to do that!
