Yes, I'm a geek.

[lordshipmayhem]

With a little help from my friends, I'm a geek.

I need to experience setting up a web server, e-mail server and a print server. I need to work on my HTML texting. And I need to work on my BASH shell commands. But I know enough for this crackpot test. I was able to ID the computer in the picture. I was able to say "yes" to programming in BASIC and playing games on a Commodore 64. But I still can't believe I got better than 90% of the people who'd tried it. I regularly run into people who know far FAR more than me.

I *was* pretty pissed at how low (comparatively) I scored... but now that I've actually *done* some of the things I hadn't done before, I can see that I didn't deserve any more points than I got.

I recently set up a free domain name with DynDNS so that I can log in remotely and help my wife with Mac problems while I'm at work, but the upshot is that I can now set up a web server if I want. I'm thinking of starting a blog so Noriko can keep her family up-to-date on stuff happening over here; I just set up a MediaWiki at work, and if it's anything like that, I'll learn a ton of stuff I should have known before I tried to take that test ^_^
