Are YOU a Computer DORK!?!? (yes). - GoFuckYourself.com

FuckFind · 11-05-2004, 06:36 PM

Well the more and more I find myself at the machine, the more odd characteristics I noticed about my ways that change even the most obvious tasks of my days.

A few thoughts/feelings of a computer dork I've noticed recently...

1) Can you "FEEL" something on your Clipboard?

If I copy and paste a line of code or an image, I can literraly "feel" the weight of it on my shoulders, like the mouse buttons are more defined or heavy.... like something important is floating around and I can sense it until I paste it in the needed place.

2) CNTL+F (find) used in the real world.

Do you think or consider, then re-evaluate a situation in the real world and accidently think of using CNTL+F to find it? When I'm in the supermarket trying to find spices, or reading a book trying to find a main point, I constantly think to "hit CNTL+F" in my brain, then say, wtf i'm retarded and a DORK.

Just a few signs of the computer dork, are you one?

I think there's more to that clipboard feeling, because I feel it too.

I never think about ctrl+f in the real world, but I know I would be a whole lot better off with a "google chip" in my brain

FuckFind · 11-05-2004, 07:44 PM

ya i'm such a dork, and need a vacation.

AdultNex · 11-05-2004, 07:48 PM

when i'm watching sports or any "text" heavy program (displaying players and scores)...

I always say shit like "Goddamn why are they using BankGothicBT for those teams, shit is so overused"..... and my roommates just shake their head and laugh.

shit, i thought i was alone on this one.
whenever i see a billboard or sign, i always identify the font and hex value to all my buddies (who think i'm retarded), and also think of saying "lol" outloud (though, thank god, I never did).

I am such a computer dork but that's what happens when you are 27 and been using computers for 20 years...

Herb Kornfield · 11-05-2004, 08:06 PM

when you go out to eat and the person seating you tells you that they are your server for the night....

And you think to yourself is this a shared server (many patrons in the room) or a dedicated server (high end establishment, or not that many peeps in the room ) and how can I ping my server when needed ( empty drink, need rolls, etc)

smit · 11-05-2004, 08:07 PM

i no longer laugh in real life but merely yell LAUGH OUT LOUD. and i always say brb.

smit · 11-05-2004, 08:08 PM

and instead of saying el oh el, i saw lawl... (the correct pronounciation)

but added nonetheless:

5. Comparing people in a room to people utilizing a server (traffic), and capacity compared to occupants.

Furious_Female · 11-05-2004, 08:17 PM

and did you ever notice when something requires a lot of scrolling, it "feels" heavier, as if you can feel the resistance, as opposed to something that doesn't have a lot of scrolling?

smit · 11-05-2004, 08:19 PM

meeting somebdoy from a different country and instantly thinking of the domain extension, ie .ru, co.uk, .au, etc.

Yeah they don't really like it when you say "WTF" either

cspdinc · 11-06-2004, 05:28 AM

that keyboard thing... wow... And I can feel when I have my temp files stuffed to the gills too before I clean em out.

But whats wierder is going out in the real world and standing in the mall and looking at all the gumbas and thinking, potential members. Not people.

I really think that when I see a bunch of jar heads cutting up in public. In private they are my best customers.

the server thing was neat.. I better not get hooked thinking in that way.

Another sad side point is seeing girls in public and going 1000, 3000, 5000+ for how much they could make for me...

Maybe its why I dont date. I see opportunity in every cute girl I meet. Umm but they don't - to bad.
