You know you're a geek when..

The October 2004 edition


  • You consider two consecutive days without any sort of work a vacation.

  • "I asked for his ssh key and he sent me his private one" makes you double over in laughter.

  • Instead of sitting and eating in an airport, like the rest of the population, you walk around until you can spot a power socket.

  • One might find two-or-more gadgets or accessories whose names start with a lower case i in your car.

  • The sentence "Secure electronic voting" makes you laugh.

  • farting robot sounds really cool.

  • Your preferred airline is American just because they have power sockets on some seats (and you know exactly which rows)

I've got more but I'll save them for next year's list.

Prior editions:
February 2003 and Nobember 2002.

true... electornic voting is funny in at least two ways. It is definitely funny to say.

Speaking of eleections... I have issues with eminem, but this is rather interesting... re: the eleection.

election. as my post was originally about spelling it seems rather fitting that I can't spell election properly. I should point out that eleection, like electornic is also funny to say.
