You know you're a geek when you have a discussion like this and then write a post about it on a site with nearly 6 million other "geeks".

I did that for a few weeks after I transferred out of the CIT program at my local college into the Business program... It was starting to get annoying (but no less amusing)

That's exactely what I was going to say when I first read the title of this topic.
But I'm gonna add one more:
You know you're a geek when "you'd rather talk about gadgets than women".

You know when you are a geek when...
(1) ...You say there are only 10 different people in the world
(2) ...You easily understand (1)
(3) ...You attempt to create a restore point before taking on a major task in life

I hate to cross reference another post, but this is halaruois
A post started with the following in the C# forum
<br />
Hello to most, <br />
<br />
i say 'most' because today there seem to be a few idiots posting, but hopefully im one and my problem is obvious to someone else <br />
<br />
I think he meant, I am NOT an idiot, but his statement says otherwise 
[Modified] I meant C# not asp.net forum [/Modified]

Maybe he's just being humble. If his problem is obvious to others then he might assume he's an idiot for not understanding it.

Exactly, whenever I struggle with something I tend to begin to feel that I'm missing something very basic and it will be immediately apparent once I post it.

Given how utterly tragic the C# forum was overnight, I suspect he was one of the good ones.

I cut out of work for a few hours yesterday to attend an honors ceremony at my daughter's middle school. It was to honor students for academic, athletic, and extra-curricular achievement in the first semester. Not a big deal, basically you got your name called, you came up to the stage, shook the principal's hand, got a certificate, and went on your way. But a decent way to kill an hour of school time and nice for the few parents who bothered to show up.
First they did the teams: sports teams for boys and for girls, then the after-school activities. Chess club, spelling bee, geography bee, and maybe some others. I can't remember and there was no program handed out. For the team awards they assembled the entire team on stage then we gave them a round of applause. The master of ceremonies was at a podium to the left of the stage. The students came up the steps, behind him, met the principal, got the certificate from the counselors at a table with a long tablecloth, and gathered at the right of the stage.
After the teams was the "B" Honor Roll, then the "A" honor roll. There were too many students to gather on stage so they got their certificate and returned to their seats. Between each page of names, the MC paused for a round of applause.
Now as you can tell, this was all quite tedious save for the moment when your child was being honored. The highlight for me, other than my daughter being on the "B" honor roll, was when a boy got his foot caught in the long tablecloth and nearly removed it from the table. He was completely unaware he did it until he got back to his seat, I'm guessing his classmates let him know about it.
Now at long last, some Curious Names. (I'll leave out the "Thanks, Mom, for a lifetime of fistfights" ones.) There was a boy on several of the sport teams whose first name is Sunday. Seems like a girl's name to me. Maybe because we have a cat named Sunday, who is a girl. (She was named when we got her from the Humane Society and we couldn't think of anything better.)
There was a girl on the "A" Honor Roll whose first name is November. I know she's a girl because she's a friend of my daughter.
This next one I swear I'm not making up. Before I reveal it, I need to explain a little background. This school has high population of Asian students. Including my daughter whose first name is pretty much unpronounceable, speaking of curious names. During the "B" honor roll, which was called alphabetically by family name, I noted the following. Page one, A through Lee. Page two, Lee through Thao. Page three, Thao through Vang. Page four Vang through Yang. So here it is, on page four of the "B" honor roll: Ying Yang. Don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but how cool is that?
And finally a boy with maybe the coolest name ever, who was in my daughter's class last year in grade school. Silent Wah.
