AtomicMaster Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Rules are simple, post a sentence starting with "You know you are a geek when" For example: You know you are a geek when you can read a file format off a network capture looking at just hex. You know you are a geek when you can convert hex to binary to hex more easily than 24 hour time to 12 hour time. You know you are a geek when you throw a d20 on a skill check to see if you are ok to drive. Just a few examples for now, i want everyone to have a good go at it before posting more. (Yes i know this has been done before, i should know, i did it; but it's still a ton of fun, so...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 You know you're a geek when you only lose your temper about the big stuff, like the correct way to fold a frikkin' road map and why .7mm lead is for buck-toothed hill people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother puts his 25+ years of happy marriage down to the fact that his wife is a better map-reader and folder than he is - and that he knows this fact!

Phi for All Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 You know you're a geek when you can at least be glad one more person won't be using the word "supposably" ever again, even if it means Summer Glau won't be having sex with you behind the Klingon makeup booth at Comic-Con.

AtomicMaster Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 You know you are a geek when the first thing you do with any new program you install is attach it to a debugger.
