.... I am logged into AIM, 24/7 (and ICQ!)

.... My main PC has 4 OSs Installed on it, Windows 98, Win 2k, Mandrake 8, Red Hat

.... I use Spare Computer Parts to decorate my room

..... I watch Tech TV on my PC (Tuner Card)

..... I have my own Online Store, that sells "Geek Gear" Geek-Gear.com

..... I used Napster when there where still only 2,000 users

..... I attend a LAN Party almost every weekend


Thats why,

Oh yeah...I forgot about mp3 geekiness.

...I use the original MP3 player (well...it's made by the company that developed MP3's...I don't think the program has seen a new version since like 1996). It's called WinPlay3...you can open a file, play it, and uhh...thats about it (Oh yeah, you can pause it, too)
...I have never used a P2P program to download music.
...I almost always download entire albums.
...I had MP3's before most kids had the internet
...I was the first kid in my school to have a computer, an x86, the internet, and broadband. (I've had 2 Commodore 64's, a 486, a p2-400, a currently a p3-1ghz...and used epix.net's dialup and broadband services)
...I'm the only kid (to my knowledge) that uses linux in my school (also one of the few in the county).

that sounds a lot like me. it's kind of funny, almost anyone i talk to says "Open Source? EWW!" then they go on about how windows is good because it works. when i say i'm just playing around, they all look at me like i'm a freak. i guess not many people install OS's just for the hell of it...

Weird...anyone i talk to says "Huh?" They can't say anything good about Windows because they don't know anything about it...

IS there anything good about Windows?

I met my boyfriend online, on robotics message board, in a thread about Magic the Gathering...

We've been together since June 15.

ADIDAR - All Day I Dream About Robots


there will probably be more edits as i think of more things

[Katie Reynolds]

... I met my boyfriend through FIRST (through Chief Delphi, initially)
... He lives in a different time zone than me (at least for 1/2 of the year)

... All of my friends at school are on my FIRST team
... I have more FIRST friends (from other teams) than I do from anything else

... I spend my classes working on FIRST stuff instead of focusing on the lesson
... The title of my english paper (that I should be writing right now) is "FIRST Robotics Needs More Money!"

... I spend my weekends with Chelly and that cheesehead (Ricky) from 269
... The three of us frequently get together to watch Packers games

... I am constantly online
... I'm usually on Chief Delphi, Tigerbolt and the FIRST webpage at all times

... I wrote a paper about drive trains for fun
... I sketch drawings of the electrical systems on TOBOR V when I am bored

Yikes

Well...it distracts stupid people from linux...so the linux kernel/software developers don't have to make stuff easy *runs away from hundreds of windows users weilding 'Windows 95 for Dummies'*

I beat you all on geekyness
I eat dream and think robotics real and imaginary. Medabots is my favorite cartoon and one of my favorite video games. I love anything that involves building things. My favorite shows I watch are: Junkyardwars, Monster Garage, Rough Science, Battlebots, Robotica, Robot Wars, and Operation Junkyard. Ive researched every single robot competition in the United States and I am sad to say that there isn't that many near New York.

[Joe Matt]

I'd rather have a Asimo than a car.

That's sad.

[Chubtoad]

T.V. bad.
Internet Good.

I have:
AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (1.7ghz)
PIII 600mhz
PII 333mhz
PI 200mhz
Some obscure macintosh that NO version of linux will support
and I have my first computer's MotherBoard on my wall with all my FIRST medallions hangnig on it. I also have the processor(PI 75mhz) and RAM(EDO 8mb) from that system in my backpack since 6th grade.

I have enough MP3s that I could start playing them the first of the month and without pausing stopping or anything, not hear a repeat till the 16th.

Besides classic rock, Cake and Violent Femmes are the best bands ever.

I run FTP, HTTP, TELNET, VNC, SHoutcast, and DNS( for the rest of my house) servers.

If the mouse doesn't have a laser, throw it out in a week.
My Computer doesn't go off except for upgrades.

I don't see how people are ever bored.

I know the meaning of life. and yes it is a number.

I once Tri-booted.

I feel one mouse per computer is never enough.

I hate the fact that I'm forced to use a printer.

I use my computers as heaters. I close my door and in 10 minutes my room is hotter then the rest of the house.

My first date with my girlfriend was BattleCry 3.

Haha. I hope you mean optical sensor and LED. If not, I'm scared.

...I did a happy dance when I found out my team was getting a new lathe and have thus deemed me "The Mistress of the Lathe"

...Almost everyone of my past boyfriends have been involved with robotics at one time or another (except one but forget him...)

...I'm writing a paper about Midnight and the Garden of Good and Evil just b/c i thought it would be fun...

...when i feel bad I come to my tigerbolt friends first

...I like to read banned books

...I've done math competitions ever since 5th grade b/c i think they are fun (Mathcounts rocked...)

...because I just am
