ciphergothI AM 46% GEEK.
Hey, I demand more geek points!
1) Do you have more than 4 terminals open, right now?
No, I ruthlessly close unused terminals so I can keep track of what the hell's going on.
2) 2 or more 'root'?
That goes double for root terminals.
3) Do you have Cisco Hardware in your bedroom or living room?
Just installed two hubs before doing this, but they're ultra-cheap £20 10BASE-T hubs.
4) Girlfriend/Wife/Boyfriend/Husband?
3 girlfriends, 1 boyfriend.
5) Does Ween kick ass, or what?
I don't think I know what Ween sound like.
6) Have you read Lord of the Rings more than once?
No, just the once.
7) Smell your clothes before you decide what to wear?
I used to, but now I can actually manage keeping a supply of clean clothes with the help of the occasional service wash.
8) Do you sleep on a couch or futon?
Does an IKEA sofabed count?
9) Drink much?
Not loads, but some.
10) Have you every said the following phrase while watching War Games...
"8 inch floppies r0x3r"?
No.
11) 1s +h3r3 at least one word of l337 sp33k in 3v3ry email you send?
Absolutely not!
12) c4n u 7yp3 f4573r 1n l337?
Absolutely not!
13) Have you ever tried to port software to an unsupported OS?
Well, an unsupported Unix variant at least...
14) Did it work?
Yes.
15) Have you written scripts and set-up cron's to basically do your job?
Ha! I'm glad I don't have a job in which this would be possible.
16) Still a virgin?
Uh, no.
17) Have you cried yourself to sleep because of that?
Not even when I was.
18) Do you have the Holy Grail basically memorized?
Not really. Hitch-Hiker's Guide, now...
19) Have you gone more than 3 days without a shower?
Three days isn't *that* long. Americans have excessive standards of hygene.
20) Do you own a domain?
Several.
21) Own more than 3 computers?
Yes.
22) Have you never physically seen at least 2 of them?
Nope, but I'm root on two machines I've never seen.
23) Do you even know what I am talking about, you lamer.
Yes.
24) Do people call you and ask, "So I was thinking about installing linux this weekend, busy?"
All the time. It's my sacred duty.
25) Do you frequent cons?
Does BiCon count?
26) Personally know at least 2 web-cam girls?
No, but I know two women who do on-line porn.
27) Have actually met (in-person) a web-cam girl you think you know?
I once downloaded naked pictures of someone before meeting them and sleeping with them, does that count?
28) Could Spider-man take Wolverine?
I don't think so. IIRC, Spider-man's not actually all that hard.
29) Have you discussed this with friends?
No.
30) Worked for a failed dotcom?
I answered "yes" to this before remembering that DataCash still hasn't gone bust.

Of course, no-one here knows that and some of them marvel at my ability to do data-entry without printing out the spreadsheet they're on, but if I showed them how the trick was done I'd be thrown out of the magic circle.
The truth is out...
