Hey that could work ... maybe ... :confused: :D

- Katie

I'm a geek because the first computer I repaired had a maladjusted clutch.

I didn't even think about going to my high school prom.

I spent more on my first calculator (PCs didn't exist then) than on my first car. (Of course it's not hard to spend more than $0.00).

I ride a bicycle whenever possible because it is the most efficient form of transportation known to man (95-99% of energy input goes to motion)

I spend my free time thinking up new tranny designs for robots.

I use vacation time to attend FIRST competitions.

I'm sure my wife could think of more.

-Im a choir geek.
'nuff said

-and robotics geek.

-but im a hockey player.

-but that only cancels out only one geek thing.

-so i still am a geek.

-i also cant wait to get home from school and check the chiefdelphi message boards.
-i spent most of my class time in geometry last year programing my TI-83+
(whoever made that scoring program for their calc, can i see the code you used. that would be so cool to see it)
-see above parentheses for another sign of my geekiness.
-am upset with my 833mhz pentium 3 gateway computer. (why cant we get a faster one?)
-first thing i look for in the sunday newspaper is the Best Buy and Circut City ads
-Want many high tech things that i will never get(ie. segway, pda, laptop...)
-get excited when Dean Kamen signed my shirt

i could go on and on. but ill stop now

-Ian
i wrote all those things but some of you guys are more geekier than me

if it said bats than Ozzy Osborne is a geek

Oooh, oooh, oooh, so do i. it cost me two RVR pins, and another pin to get it.

another reason
-January 4th is like a second christmas to me.
- I was given the "most likely to not need a megaphone" paper plate award last year

more to come.

-Ian
finding himself to be a bigger geek than he thought himself to be

-three posts in a row. (actually 4 now)

-Ian
goin post crazy

That's pretty sad actually :(

I trek therefore I geek.

Just finger me...
finger nex@absolutegeek.net

Ohhh that felt funny =P

...I run Debian Sarge :) I never even got Woody...skipped right to unstable/testing :D Currently running on 2.4.18. It's sweet stuff...the only things I can't get working is my USB HP photosmart printer and my Nikon Coolpix 880 digicam. I doubt I will ever get them working.

:D Peanut gallery? Who? Me? Did I ever call you a robot? Ohh...wait...yeah. I did. Many times, too :D

Heck, I could probably make up a list for you :P
I don't know of many other people who do pre-scouting for off-season competitions. :P
You put robotics over your life.

There are more...not sure if you would care if I listed them, though :D I'm not trying to offend you _too_ much!

I'm running unstable on 2.4.19. I can capture images from that Dolphin Pocket Camera, but I have yet to be able to use it as a webcam without totally destroying USB interactivity. :(

If I ever want to print anything, I just copy it to /var/www and print it from another box...
/me shrugs

Just for the record, I love abcde.

Well I can definately say that I'm not a techie kind of geek. I can boil down what my computer is used for to these things: email, IM, writing papers, checking delphi, and seeing what's being served in the dining hall that day.

I am however, a politics geek. I mean, do you know how excited I was when I memorized all the Presidents in order? I used to be the go-to girl for knowing ammendments and supreme court cases and now all I do is live and breathe politics (ok, that's a little extreme but that's just cuz I finished 3 hours of Bruin Democrat tabling and am way stoked for elections tomorrow). Forget college parties, I'm going to a post-election night party to rub elbows with all the California politicians.

Seeing Ozzy Osbourne (the fore-mentioned "freak") on campus was cool, meeting Dean Kamen even better, being a foot away from Bill Clinton...I almost died!

I check my e-mail at least 5 times per day

No thread on CD passes me unseen

I check the stats of my website (www.team696.org) everyday

I'm the only person you know of who sells long serial cables

I'm posting here

<edit> Oh yeah, and right before the build period deadline last season I was awake for 40 hours strait to complete the robot on time and fix our busted drivetrain.</edit>

lol, being an internet nut very few threads will pass my presense.

*shrug* All for the better!

I never check my email... a perl script does it for me. =)
