What's new

Sorry...

I've built several pc's including the one i'm using now which is just finished: AMD 64 3700+, 2 GB RAM, 120GB SATA HDD, 2 Nvidia Geforce 6800GTs running in SLi, all crammed into an Antec Sonata case. :drool:

I spend at least 70% of my life either in front of or selling stuff computer related.

Whats wrong with that?

Doesn't mean I can't be normal too :), just ask the girlfriend.

I think it's just becoming normal to be a nerd. ;)
 
No, you're clearly next level nerderation.

Go on wid yo bad self.



...nerd.
 
No, no, no... THIS is building your own computer. I haven't done one myself (my good friend did an Apple ][ clone back in the day), but I built my digital alarm clock and a telephone ringer replacement with a sampler chip so you can make the phone ring sound like whatever you want. I built the clock in the early 80's and still use it, but the ringer was only breadboarded, so it didn't last long.

But I'm more of a software guy. I can code in:
BASIC & VisualBASIC
PASCAL
COBOL
FORTRAN
C & C++
A whole lot of various scripting languages, whether system or program based.
HTML isn't actually a programming language, so that doesn't count.
JavaScript
Perl
ASP
PHP
SQL
There's probably more. At this point, if I need to learn a new language, I just need the reference book and I can go.

Have played p&p D&D for over 20 years, though with breaks.
Babylon 5 was the best television series ever made, though Battlestar Galactica has a good chance of making that claim if they keep this up.
Lucas used to be God, but Whedon is my master now.
I buy comics to read them.
My main system has two monitors.
My linux server is "silent" and has a touch-screen for selecting and playing my music collection. (It can also run from an infrared remote, but that's currently acting flakey.)
My first Linux install was Slackware 3.0.

I'm a geek. Not as fond of "nerd" though.

Oh, and girls have cooties.

Hmmm...you've been playing D&D for about 3 or 4 years longer than my boyfriend...you might have him beat. But you say you are a geek, and not a nerd...you must be the king of the neighboring region "Geekador".

markc you don't look old enough to have played Dungeons and Dragons (nerds abbreviate) for 20 years.
Heh. Oh, I am, but thanks. Coming up on 38.

And I forgot to say "hi" to Artemis.


"Hi!"
 
Awwww poor arty. But to be honest I didn't miss ya coz I haven't been hanging round much recently either!! My life sounds as busy as yours at the moment!

guess what! I just arrived yesterday in Brisbane to live with my b/f. We drove the 18 hour drive from Cairns to here in 2 days and now we're stuffed but it's sooo much fun!
