I am tech for a small biz software company and a designer. How many other people live in front of your computer or ...car

 

i do IT work for the government

 

LOL I just think I know alot but I dont. Thats two, any more?

 

pic's ????

 

I'm a hardcore geek... (a geek is a nerd WITH social skills)

I've been programming for a living for 6 years.. programming for fun since I was 5 (basic at 5.. assembler at 6.. yes.. I was a strange child )... and I dabble in server/network admin and hardware both for fun and in my career.. been hanging around the net for 10 years..

Back in the day.. being a geek/nerd wasn't cool.. and now all you people who teased us have electronic bank accounts... bwahahaha ..

 

I'm a software developer for the Gov. as well!! I just had the one year anniversary for developing... yeah, I'm just a newbie at it and to Mazdas!!

 

I suppose you could consider me a computer geek, everyone else seems to make the generalization. My gf/fiance/wife or whatever she is always denies it.. it's called, well, denial.

here's my setup, I think it speaks for itself as to my geekness...





P4 2.6ghz clocked to 3.1ghz, case temp currently is 86F... don't ask

My apartment is a hive of multimedia and computer systems, 3 desktops, 2 laptops (both from work, which is what I'm using right now), and everything is tied into my theater setup.

Booya.. I'll get back to programming now.

 

Just to point out something to non-geeks.. the cpu speed/cooling system/etc actually has nothing to do with iibbmm's geekness level.. but immediately the veteran geeks know he is one of us.. how you may ask? the case is not completely on the computer (first pic)..

SO, basically what we are saying is with our combined resources, we can take over the world, start a kick a$$ e biz company so we can design and manufacture our own custom mods, BUT still have social live and be really really cool.

More coffee, yea , yeaaaaaaaaa, coooofffeee

 

HAH! That's a damned good point. my case is NEEEVER on the computer... well... except when i took the second pic, which is older (you can tell by the lack of paint on the drives).

Thats also why my computer is on the desk, as opposed to below it, easy access.

I just get to fix everyones computer and show them how to use their mouse. and no, i'm not in the IT department.

My workspace is fairly clean, I used to have some 1:18 cars in my office, but I like them better at home over my fireplace.

I'm a geek, but I guess not quite so much as my competition. I'm definately a bevy of computer knowledge though. I'm an IT Technician for my local government (county level civil service). Right now I do lot's of hardware, network, and user support, and they're trying to get me into database design/administration. Fun stuff.

All of it is gone.. except the Dell PII 400 is a web server at my house, I use the AMD 1.2 for games (22inch monitor) and the 1.4 laptop for reading pclub on the couch (I love wireless! ).. and the Jornada is laying around somewhere too..

 

I am the manager of the helpdesk area and also am the Network Planning Analyst for the company that makes the space suits for NASA. We do other things too but that is the big one.

 

Ok.. time to throw my hat in the ring here too..
