Geekability <--- How're you doin?

GL1972 and Penguin dared call me a geek - Unfortunately they were right.

http://www.innergeek.us/

I scored 18.93491% = Geek
The wife 8.48126 - A Poser!

Fortunately a lot of it was from my childhood. Now I'm an Outdoor VW Geek!

The Bronze.

Yes judging from the photo (2 laptops, GPS + everything else) I that Russel Coight's hat?
You are definitely a Geek !!

What all the equipment for? Surely not for talking on this forum?

Extreme Geocaching - Generally you only need a GPS. I tend to go a step (or twelve) further and take a laptop. The other one is a mates. We'd have one ona my lap to navigate and another on the fridge in the back that also navigates but stores the cache page database. It's a hassle getting in and out.



Ozi-explorer is a program that plots where you are, how fast and which direction, your altitude, nearby caches and anythng else you want to know (Speed cameras, 40 zones etc) on screen. GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) stores all the cache pages from the web so we don't have to connect via Satphone / mobile while we're caching. you can see on the screen the yellow thing with a red line - thats us parked at a park at Lithgow.

Good stuff - We were trialing it in a mates Partol but I will have a single 12" laptop set up in the Baja running all this and playing all my music at the same time. No more bloody CD's sliding around on the floor. It's a spare $50 laptop so it's no big deal if it gets pinched.

4.33925.....damn I'm a poser...:cry And i was being honest!!! Bugga..

I think I might be quite high on that test, but I have too short of an attention span to finish it, or even come close to finishing it.

I went for 5 minutes before I realised it said Geek and not Greek, then got bored and dumped it...:repuke

it's the bloody literature and films that got me!

28%, thats pretty Geekie for me, imagine what it will be when I finish my degree.......

Dave da geek

I rated Major Geek. That is pretty scary cos i thought I was hipper than that!

12.08%

alot of it came from when i was in highschool, and haven't done in 5 yrs.

so not to bad.

Hey Bronze,
I never said that I wasn't one as well 🙂
(28%),
just that I do try to hide it... sometimes :P

I think that films and books got me as well.
Like I always think of Mad max when I see your signon.

14% Geekish Tendancies

Proud to be so low and work in IT.

24.85207% Geek :duh

2.16963 Poser .....


Now I am worried that I am not smart enough ..........

The Bronze - Actually has very little to do with Mad Max.

Is a residual nick name from my time in the forces. I though having been in the Infintary I wouldn't have scored so high. I guess they let all sorts in.

Bronze.

How can I possibly be a bigger geek than you bronze????:jesus :P

I'm truly worried :alien

39.64497.....major geek.......thats a little sad.:duh

25.24655% "Total Geek"

...what a joke.

I should be causing buffer overflows on these tests.

Ah well, the joys of not being a 'stereotypical' geek as I don't care/have never seen StarWars/Trek etc.

I somehow don't want to put my brother on this test. I know he'll fall down on the books and movies, but way over the top on the engineering and computer stuff... far too far over the top!!

11.637% - geekish tendencies....but I doooo collect bugs....:P

Squiz....

well, if u think that is bad...how abotu this.

Big A went to an IT job interview where they asked him the following,

How many ppl at home, and how many computers??
5 ppls (1 was 1yo) and 7 computers, but am building another 2 as well....why??

They didn't believ him so asked about specs...and he could name it all.

In addition at another interview they asked him 'to solve this problem' and he said flat out that no-one could...because the os system was wrong for application etc ect...apparently guy went out..put in 'patch' Big a wrote, adn their problem was fixed....(systems guy got big kick in butt)

My absolute fav is how at 15yo he created entire computer network for 2 private schools to pay for hsi own tutition, plus brothers and sisters. And it wasn't small network....he still gets calls to patch each year, it is was over 15years ago.

We call him the geek freak.

And whilst he is paid to do it...he just loves it so much, we then 'lose' him to the dungeon 9workshop) each nite for hours.

He has computers, I have the bug.

Plus he has a workshop to die for (so I am told) and he never buys one things...always 4 or 5. he has stilh equipment only for yead (chainsaw blowers mowers etc)

I told him I needed welding done, so he has stick welder adn mig too.

I told him I needed painting done....he has air compressor, with snap on kit, and paint shop pro kits.

If I say this needs doing...well he goes off...researches it for days/week...buys all the qequipment (even if he is only doing it once) and then gets something to test on.

I love him, but man...the GF is into overkill. But at least he has friends who love his tools too.

I think that came out wrong...lol

But honestly I don't care...he makes enough money to pay for his stuff, and there's always some left over for me too. Go the geek freaks!


Cheers
