I know, it was evil of me to put them in binary. Get over it. Comments on your rating of yourself? I'd say I'm a seven becasue I am geeky, but I still have a life. And I go outside (sometimes).
EDIT: Arsebuckets! (thank you Mata) I didn't realise the first one said 0.. but I imagine you all know it's supposed to be 1. -------------------- "Hell is... other people." No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre.

I would have known that 0 was supped to be a 1 had I seen it before I read the post... then again I'd prefer the leading 0's to be put into the strings... as my brain immidiatly applys twos compliment to any binary string beginning with a 1
I Wear... combats. tshirts. Mustical taste... !Pop Hangouts... pubs, industrial/goth/ebm clubs Humour... DRY, Dark, Black. Diet... Carnivore. I have geekish tendancys I guess. But I'm also very practical, I have sporting and competetive traits and I'm quite popular socially. -------------------- Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is mearly energy condensed through a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, life is only a dream and we are the imaginations of ourselves.

Tricky question really.
According to my girlfriend I'm 'The King of Geeks' because she believes that there are a lot of geeks on here (in the nicest possible way) and I'm the 'leader' (as if such a thing were possible with geeks) therefore I am the king. However... I just looked at that poll and my first thought was not 'Oo, it's in binary' it was 'Ah, it's a joke, you only have one option where you are not geeky, implying that most people here are off the scale'. From this I deduce that I am not a geek. But then... After reading the stuff about the '0' instead of '1' mistake it occured to me that most computers begin counting at zero, so a range of options from one-to-ten for a computer would only go up to nine. Maybe I am very geeky after all. To be on the safe side I still chose '0'

There you go... this is a quiz that tells you how geeky you are. As for myself? Let's do a quick run down: Favorite Books: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Humor: Anywhere from wacky, to sarcasm. Love British Comedy (Go Monty Python!) Computer Knowledge: More than literate, but room for improvement. Video Games: Oh hell yeah Anime: When the mood strikes me Allergies: Got 'em Hangouts: Anywhere I can be, but espescially a coffee house Music taste: Everything (including Classical) Future plans: To double major in computer art and music composition Yeah... that says I'm a geek. I am however, socially deft, having a decent amount of friends and all such goodness. So whatever. Call me what you will, I call myself Mike. -------------------- I'm just a Viewtiful Girl living in a Viewtiful World.

Maybe I am very geeky after all.  Nice job, except now it's 0-10 skipping 1. I said 1000, I'm a programming major, I play D&D and several card games. But I don't know much about databases (yet), and I know less about servers (in the middle of learning). And I spend at least 5 hours a day on the computer. |

I think I'm so not geeky it's unhealthy. Once my computer got a blue screen and said "physical dump of memory" or something, and I almost started to cry because I couldn't use the mouse.
Yeah. I was just trying to send a file to someone, and I couldn't get past her instructions of what to do after she said, "What drives to you see?". I was lost entirely, and needless to say, I didn't figure it out. But, if you think reading books and lots... and lots of poetry is geeky, then I'm in pretty good shape. Favorite Books: Don't make me choose, man Humor: Lots of things are funny. Puns aren't. That means you, Mr. Taylor of Rm. 113, Journalism. You think we're laughing- we're crying. Cut it out. Computer Knowledge: I know how to turn it on, use the mouse (barely) and type. Video Games: Last thing I played was Harvest Moon, because I like taking care of plants and animals (I don't know WHAT that makes me). And the Sims *twitch* love the Sims. Anime: Doesn't float my boat Alergies: penicillin? Does that count? Hangouts: Basements, cars Music Taste: Anything... so long as it sounds good, I'm not picky. I'll take countryif it's decent. Future Plans: Getting a PhD in literature and becoming a professor. Hey, anything's possible. Like I said, almost at dangerously low levels of geek-hood. -------------------- "As life gets longer, awful feels softer,
Well it feels pretty soft to me. And if it takes sh*t to make bliss, Well I feel pretty blissfully." |

While we're here, here's something that might be of interest,
how to be a real hacker http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html . It turns out that I pretty much am, with the exception of knowledge of a multitude of programming languages, I've got reasonable udnerstanding of PHP (although I hate it for the most part), actionscript (the Flash language), Javascript, CSS, and HTML (although those aren't really very advanced by any means). Actually, looking at that, perhaps I know more than I think. -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

Hmmm - don't consider myself geeky but that's purely because I don't know enough about tech stuff to quite get there.
Accourding to PWMs quiz I'm 16.6% geek. That's more than I would have guessed and it was the authors and films that caught me out.  I blame it on the fact that the bloke I used to live with was a Trekkie - he owned a uniform and everything.

I voted 1010 (10) in this one. The future is grim I'm afraid:
Favorite Books: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/Discworld Humor: Sarcasm, Dark, I know bugger all about comedy genres :-p Computer Knowledge: Help! Programmer, Web Designer and now I seem to work for 3Com (big networking company)  Open source fanatic (BSD < * < Linux - so i'm the odd one out in a load of odd ones out), also pretty much everything on Matas 'real hacker' thing including writing open source software and providing useful information.Video Games: Lots, but if its on a console it must be 16bit or less Anime: Occasioally, I tend to stick to certain series which limits things a bit Allergies: Hay fever  Hangouts: Anywhere I can drag my friends (which isnt usually very far) Music taste: Anything but pop, rap and nu-metal. Mostly other genres of metal or punk. Future plans: Finish industry year, Finish uni (Computer Science degree ), Go do something fun and hopefully make lots of money. Games programming would work but I'm not getting my hopes up.64% Geek eleramas test (lowered a lot by my complete hatred for l337), Roleplaying (D&D and Vampire: The Masquerade mostly) too...*trails off into a geeky stupor* -------------------- I am Candice's asw emo e-husband, real life actual husband and all around awesome person, Funked)Out_Frogg's e-paramour.
