    Hmm I think I'm fairly geeky, but geekiness is sexy right?.. :p

    I game quite a lot - Wow, KoL, consoles etc (Often stayed up 24hours doing so)

    I use unbuntu on one comp and vista on another (I miss XP tho!!)

    Can usually fix anything thats broken unless its truely knackered.

    I visit about 6 forums a day and countless other webpages.

    +1 on all the above!!!


    Tis like reading my autobiography...


    Also,

    I love SQL/Databases.

    I get excited by large amounts of RAM.

    I like finding more efficient ways to do things.

    I follow Larry David's 'Mantra' (I dont know if Curb would be classed as Nerdy
    but most of my friends dont like/get it (more the latter)

    Hehe the 1st made me giggle!! Aye I would say I'm the same on the 2nd one, always thinking things through logically. One thing that bugs me is sloppy planning and execution. I guess I am a true virgo. :D
    Would love to know loads about programming but I know ziltch, I think i'll just stick to the basics in computers.

    One thing that makes me feel somewhat inadequate (and un-nerd worthy) is my sub-par (not slow) typing speed, not very helpful when writing scripts...

    Such a basic thing but I dont know where to seek help on the matter.

    Oh yeah, that's another nerdy thing - it comes from an event match in Super Smash Bros Melee, Event Match #6 is Kirbys on Parade and the tagline is "Look out! A rainbow of Kirbys is after you!".
