Ten Signs You are Truly a Computer Geek

So, after a late night conversation I did some brainstorming to get myself back into posting, and here it is.

Ten Signs You are Truly a Computer Geek

1. You regularly, unselfconsciously, and without a hint of intentional irony refer to your available time for projects as “Bandwidth.”

2. Same goes for referring to availability for thinking about a problem as “Processor Cycles.”

3. When you have trouble remembering something you complain about fragmentation and bad sectors.

4. There is a deep and unspoken need to have someone “Talk Nerdy” to you.

5. Your favorite jokes are best expressed in ascii

6. You have been seriously late for something that meant a lot to you because you “just couldn’t get that one piece of code to work right”

7. The cumulative time spent researching, trying, and shopping for your current set of computer peripherals is greater than that spent on your last car or home purchase.

8. You regularly bore your loved ones with news about price drops in cutting edge technology and comparisons to the price and function of the first item of that category you bought.

9. There is ancient technology laying around not because you don’t want to waste it by throwing it out, but because deep down in side you are still emotionally attached to it.

10. It’s not a nap, it’s a soft reboot.

There are several more “Ten Lists” available for your enjoyment.

Note: Thanks to my White and Nerdy friend Jack, I have changed the title from “Ten Sings” to “Ten Signs.”
