    No offense, I was just wondering what you all see your self as? I for one am a Counter-Culture/gamer Geek. Me and my friends wear all black, listen to hard rock, playt video games all our freetime, and now too much about sciences, math, and computers. What about you?

    who doesn't? Thats just not the point. Seeing how I bet most of you guys are in your thirties or twenties, this is more of a joke.

    Worn out, tired, wet ( damm raining again ), work-a-holic, not so geeky as you'd think!, currently working as a production consultant in the pron industry oh sorry photo industry ;) ... who likes any music so long as its not manufactured band crap.... freetime hahahaha when I get some its spend with friends partying or doing some Pro Go Kart racing, shooting, iceskating, rock climbing but not done that in a while etc etc you know something to live by the seat of your pants by.

    computers for me its a love hate relationship... love them when they work.. hate them when they dont... :D which today was one of those bang head against wall day... sometimes I get no sense from our IT dept.... Information and Technology seems have no meaning for them as they have no Information apart from I'll get back to you and Technology.. well after 2 days of telling them whats wrong and will you order part and send IBM out to replace its .. OH yeah we think your right and the part will be with you in in 24hrs AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    /rant


    BTW if I havnt welcomed you to MGs before.... then WELCOME :)

    I think I'm something in between Halo's worn out, tired and Adryn's pissed off, grumpy! :rolleyes: :eek:

    I share Halo's love/hate relationship of P.C.'s. I do them for a living, as well - So I guess I must love them more than hate them - But not today!

    I just had the main H.D.D.'s on one of servers crapola itself...So I'm not a happy camper a.t.m.! :mad:

    Ahh yes, monday mayhem. Brillant isnt it? ;)

    I have to say I was rather annoyed earlier, Flash has to be one of the most irritating and infurating things on the planet.

    Anyway, my geek-stereotype. I dunno. what about Geek Geek? Oh, thats not an option. I dunno!

    If wearing black is the basis for "counter-culture", then I guess I have to put myself there. Although I am required to wear black for work....

    Meh. None of the above. I'm not really a computer geek of any kind...I just know people who are. :D

    and of course:

    Tom Lehrere - New Math
    you can't take 3 from 2, 2 is less than 3, so you look at the 4 in the 10's place. now that's really 4 10's, so you make it 3 10's, regroup, and change to 10 1's and you add 'em to the 2, take a way 3 that's leaves 9.... sheesh

    I'm an old fart geek that is stuck with a Compaq presario that I've put so much money in upgrades etc that I'll never get anything out of it. I listen to country music generally recorded prior to 1959. I still wear cuffs on my jeans and love to destroy radios that are blaring boom boom rap music. If I had any hair left it would probably be crew cut. My only link to sanity is MG. And yes, I'm having a really bitchin' day thank you very much. :D I just could not find my category. ;)

    I am a lady with class and like to be treated that way, even if I am a geek. Well maybe a nerdy geek. Either way, I like to be respected.

    counter culture geek: avoid the trends.

    DKCAC (don't know crap about computers) *blissful ignorance*
    Play tennis lots, only sport I'm good at. No, I'm not a prep-boy.

    New is all right -- once you've hidden under the couch and growled at it for a while.
     
  20. jarcher

    jarcher I can't handle a title

    I am just a man trying to get by
    and if I want to fit in somewhere I will
    this is a good place as any
    only a little nicer

    you got HS kids who know more than me
    and you got the educated few(not me) who are who they are
    then you got the olderones who knew more than we will ever know

    yet here we all are. . . .
    How often do you see four generations just hang out together(unless there related)

    good times here

    I used to be a typical Gamer-Geek, but since I moved to Ireland and don't play online games anymore, I'm more of an "everything in between" kinda Geek.
