Not another limp wristed computer geek?

[Ixion]

Ho hum. I scored only 7.10059 "Poser". Which is odd considering I work in IT - and as a programmer - though I don't actually get much coding done nowadays.

I wonder if this is related to my practice of using a BLOODY HEAVY HAMMER as the primary tool for fixing computers ? (And bikes. And cars. And anything else really)

[pommie girl]

Hmm, well, I married the IT geek but I ride the bike ... and I can most definitely attest to the fact that he doesn't have limp wrists

Bloody skite...

As for me... ex Sys Admin, DBA (both to medium level - noit advanced by any means) and now hopped the fence to SW sales....

So arguably I'm the worst of both worlds!

It's an easy job Mikey - you just need to know what RTFM means.

Dunno about the job being easy.

It's certainly not easy getting the damn foot in the door.

tap-omitter (sp - but had to spell phonetically) if you please.

It sounds much more delicate and people think you know what you are doing...

I was a biker before I had anything to do with IT.

But (BUT!) I work for one fo the world's most boring IT companies, which employs about 1000 geeks worldwide, and about 90-odd (some very odd indeed) in D'Auckland. Of these, currently only 2.3 ride bikes (VFR800, SV650, and mebbe a GSXR1000), although others have said to me, "Yeah well I used to ride a bike but then I grew up / it got too dangerous / my nads fell off / I got married /I became boring." There used to be four (4.5) of us (the guy with the CBR600 left, so did the one with the QT50). So those statistics prove that only 2.5% of geeks ride bikes, that 93.2% of all statistics are made up, and that if only 2.5% of geeks ride bikes, then fewer geeks ride bikes than 'normal' people.

Actually, my stats are erroneous, as not everyone who works here is a geek; some are dweebs, some are dweeboids, there's a few accountants, lotsatossas, some chix (including two models), and rumour has it there's even a RegularGuy (which may or mayn't be me).

Any dooddles ?

Any dooddles ?

Well, I'd guess that most of the guys (dweeboid, geek or whatever) have dooddles, but I'm not about to ask them.

Got any nails ?

Got any nails ?

That sounds suspiciously like that duck joke...
And no, I don't have any nails here (apart from fingernails and toe nails), but there's plenty at home.

Got any bread ?

[vifferman]

Got any bread ?

I was going to say "Yes", but then I realised I brought noodles today, because I was anxious to get on my bike and come to work.

Well, at least Part A.

[Big Dave]

Steady on! I do geeky work, build web sites, cut code and sit before several screens all day.
I'm also a 6'5, 115kg, pretty fit biker who can dunk a basketball, smack a golf ball well over 300 meters and can lift a new bonneville clear off the ground - all by myself.
So yeah I'm a geek - what you goin' to %#$^@#$* do about it.
