you should read wiki dear, it knows all

Ash, don't worry, binary's scary and confusing. As the guy who went out with someone who thought coding websites was fun, I tend to just ignore such things. ^^

How will you then be able to post here Aisling? You shout at your laptop. Nothing wrong with that, I shout at my keyboard (playing) when I miss a chord late at night.

aye it amazes me alright some ppl have fierce problems with their comps,sometimes its just lazyness,they dont want to defrag it or update it or scan it for viruses,all this saves you money in the long run,let alone even googleing the problem you have with your laptop/comp might save you money

Japanese gameshows are my major downfall, but they're so good!

I enjoy doing maths.

I love the final fantasy series.

When I find something I'm interested in, I spend HOURS researching it and gathering as much information as I can. Just for the sake of it.

I still enjoy kids tv(who doesn't though).

Bit of a grammar nazi. Bad grammar and punctuation really annoys me.

I'm really cool though, I swear.

You sound quite a bit like me actually, but replace Final Fantasy with Metroid or Zelda

Nerdy, this one is easy. Years ago when i started off in IT as a lowly phonemunky, i had a bet with 3 work colleagues on how many operating systems we could get on one PC!

I won the bet with 11 OS's spanning over 3 hard drives.

DOS/Windows 3.11
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows ME
Windows 2000 Server
Redhat Linux 6.2
FreeBSD
BeOS
Neutrino QNX
Solaris 8
OS/2

Naturally, i won the bet! Made an easy IR£400 out of it too!
I'm sure i could have put on one more, but the installation of Solaris 8 ended up corrupting the final partition. It was a fun project. Kept the PC running for over a year before i passed it on to a family friend after wiping everything. It brought a tear to the eye to do so.

And I can't help the grammar thing, it's been beaten into my head. :P I'm a real cool cat. Thats hip lingo, right?

I was wondering just how long it'd take for someone to make that joke!

So, me a nerd? Never..... :rolleyes:

I did honours everything (including Maths, Physics and Applied Maths) for the Leaving Cert.

I did electronic engineering in college.

I remember people's registration plates.

I often count the number of letters in a word, or characters in a registration plate, or any string of characters.

I count the number of steps on stairs.

When I'm doing any of my weird counting things I like to get a number that's even, but prefer if it's divisible by four. And even better if the numbers making up the answer are also divisible by four or have doubles in them. So a registration plate I've always liked was 00-KK-4416 (Double zero. Double K. 4416 divisible by four. 4, 4 and 16 divisible by four. And a total of 8 characters which is also divisible by four). Yeah, I do reckon it's a form of OCD but I'm ok with it

I work in IT.

I get nerdy references and in-jokes like those binary and OCT DEC ones!

I got two days off work to do it as well at the time! I'm raging i no longer have the photo i took of the boot manager selection screen. It was well impressive

Powerquest bootmagic really saved my ass on that project.

Well, I have a very loose grasp of, and less respect for science and math. I understand enough to laugh at 70% of xkcd, but that's about it.

Nah, I'm more of your classics/humanities type of nerd, if any. I will happily sit down and read more or less any art history book. And I get very excited in bookshops :P I laugh at Frasier more than most people like.

Oooh! I think I have dyxpraxia, does that make me an honorary nerd? I reckon it does.

Pesky nerds are everywhere these days.

I enjoy reading too much.
If only the world was made from a D & D game
Sci Fi FTW!
I understand FTW!
I juggle.
I post on message boards too much.
I've online friends.
I make triangles and squares out of random things, such as straws and books (I'm not sure why!)
I wear rainbow coloured socks with individual toes! But is that nerdish or geekish?

*Resurrects thread*

I'm sitting in a room in Germany, posting on a forum from a netbook, listening to the Mass Effect soundtrack on an iPod also loaded with sega megadrive tracks and the Oblivion soundtrack.


I'm such a nerd.

Tirabaralla

I use the internet since 13 years now.

cyberwolf77

I'll be 32 next month, and I still read comoc books.

Apparently I'm not a nerd at all. Not even a bit.

Why are you not a nerd?

Davaeo09

Where do I start

1. I play WoW
2. I watch anime
3. I used to do jiu-Jitsu (Japanese traditional not Brazilian)
4. I read allot of sci-fi, fantasy and horror books.

More to come when I think of em :pac:



But, apart from all the nerdiness, I enjoy a good game of rugby, soccer and basketball. I am gym fanatic, and go clubbing at any available opportunity.

Breaking the stereotypes!

cyberwolf77

I play video games, have actually run a RPG for friends, read piles of sf, horror, and fantasy. However, I also know seventeen different ways to disable an attacker using a cotton ball.

That is just pretty! But by god do they hurt after a while, when they cut off the circulation and your toes swell.


Yeah I'm not a nerd ...that requires focus and that isnt my forte.

Crumble Froo

i used to have the rainbow socks. but i walk too much, none of my socks ever last.

and i am neither a nerd nor a geek (though i do know that you use 'nor' after 'neither'), but more of a dork, really.

Tirabaralla

I have those socks in fucsia and aqua green.
Plus 2 pairs of rainbow coloured socks, one is fluffy and the other one has a anti-slippery gummy emoticon on the bottom >_>'
