I am categorically less of a geek than a lot of people on here by simple virtue of being useless with computers
Nonetheless I am still an arch geek, and probably one of the nicest people most of you will ever virtually meet

There are some very pleasant people on here!

I'm going to whisper this so as not to upset him
He is actually very nice in real life - shhhh!

they say that about everyone.
Well except Chompy. Apparently Al's really lovely. I can never understand this.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:16, Reply)

Al can be really funny on here, but he does have a habit of taking things to a too personal level

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:18, Reply)

He is very different in real life.

I gather he used to be more fun
I suspect it's marriage.

Or vans

I'm very much looking forward to meeting people next week.
I hope nobody is mean and makes me cry...

Oooh oooh are you coming to London?

(berk, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:20, Reply)

No, sorry.
Just the PIER EXTRAVAGANZA!
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:22, Reply)

Aww lame.
COME TO LONDON.
(berk, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:34, Reply)

Nope, we're going to The Pier

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:22, Reply)

Fool.
You will regret saying that.

I will protect you with my cloak of awesomness.

Excellent
I shall buy you a stick of rock.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:26, Reply)

Buy one for CQ instead. He's the one with the sweet tooth.

( girlinthehole, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:31, Reply)

I especially like Edinburgh Rock
Just saying...
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:33, Reply)

Well if you come to Edinburgh at new year then you can get some.

( girlinthehole, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:36, Reply)

Yes, and some rock.

I was going to do that joke but thought better of it.

Good job you dont work in the IT field then, really
oh...
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:11, Reply)

Yes it is
I really don't work in IT, I'm in telecoms, and my job really doesn't involve more than a passing knowledge of how even telecoms works.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:19, Reply)

I'm glad telecommunications doesn't involve computers then

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:24, Reply)

I know this doesn't make a lot of sense really
My job is effectively reporting and troubleshooting. I only need to be able to use Outlook, Excel and Visio to do it - I think this maintains my "useless with computers" status.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:25, Reply)

Visio is hard to use
You gain one internet geek point for this
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:29, Reply)

Fuck yeah!
That brings me to a new grand total of one!

It's hard to use WELL. Swim lanes and that aren't so difficult, that's all I can manage thus far.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 22 Sep 2011, 12:32, Reply)

I dont even know what swim lanes are!
I use it for nice pictures of networks and computers (occasionally)

You underestimate my job
Today I have learned the names of the three Java caches created (Eden, Survivor and OldGen)

I challenge anyone to out-tedious that nugget

I'm glad I had my fingers crossed when I made that bet

more than a passing of how even telecoms works.
