I was rattling on the other day to some coworkers about how DSL rocks. Shortly after, I was accused of being a geek.

How did this happen?
Am I a geek?

What makes someone a geek?

Being a geek isnt always a bad thing...just read the bumpersticker

"Be nice to geeks, you never know when you will work for one"

Green, I too have apparently moved over to the darkside. My IT friends at work have changes my name from livesay to linuxsay.  :D

Someone posted a geek test on a lug site and I scored at 48% so I'm still in training. Amazing because a couple years ago I would probably have been at 10%. Linux and DSL in particular, have definitely raised my scores. :)

green, I know when you converted. It was the day you created your first mkmydsl cd!!

I'd proudly wear a geek badge, like those badges I used to wear at school for swimming and stuff.
Would love to take a geek test, would be interesting. Didn't have computers when I went to school (was born in 1967, not 68,) I'm 38 and on some levels my brain will stop expanding at 42.
