How Geeky are you?

To quote from The New Hacker’s Dictionary, a computer geek is “one who eats (computer) bugs for a living. One who fulfills all the dreariest negative stereotypes about hackers: an asocial, malodorous, pasty-faced monomaniac with all the personality of a cheese grater. Cannot be used by outsiders without implied insult to all hackers. A computer geek may be either a fundamentally clueless individual or a proto-hacker in larval stage. Also called ‘turbo nerd’ or ‘turbo geek. ...www.uta.edu/infosys/e_comm/terms/term_g.htm

and here's an interesting one from Wikipedia:

A performer at a carnival who swallows various live animals and bugs. Sometimes this extends to biting off the heads of chickens.

Wonder if biting off the head of a bat makes you a geek...

Whose not daft around computers. I am still trying to figure out how to post a photo into my posts --- doh!!!!!!!!

Annie, they have to be on the net and not just in your computer. Find the URL of the photo you want to post, click Img above, paste the url and click Img again.

Bobbie, don't you have to put them in photobucket first?

Well that didn't work!

See, I didn't know that your photos had to be from the net. Darnit! Darnit all to hell!!!!!!!

On something like that, you click where it says "see full size image", and then you use THAT as your url: http://jehm.net/img/photo/20030117/geek.jpg

They don't have to be in photobucket.. any picture any place online.

AHA!! I always wondered how you got the photos up so quickly..I was transferring them to photobucket.
Thanks, Bobbie!!

Dorian, that picture looks like so many people I know on line... matter of fact, almost all of them.. especially the feet.

I recognized my son's feet, Bobbie-

testing...testing....Seriously geeky..look familiar, anyone? :lol:

This method doesn't work with all pictures, does it? Some it won't let you copy and you have to go to photobucket.
