> What's the geekiest thing you do?
 

Some of you may have many geeky things you do, post em.. but highlight the GEEKIEST thing.


Me?

I run Ubuntu Linux as my OS and installed open source programs on the local webserver and play with them, stress test them and learn how to modify them to the way i want them.

I look at my MRTG charts a few times an hour because I get off on seeing bandwidth blowin' up

** GEEKIEST: I have a blog dedicated to a newbies follies in discovering Ubuntu OS.

Refresh pages abusively.

Hmm..

I run Fedora, I build computers, I can program in 12+ languages and I'm a numismatist.

I make my living online.. lol I'm sure there are more

sec, googling numismatist

lol. I used to be all into that.

I take tons of pics of my cat

I compulsively post pictures in GFY threads... :helpme

ADG

i write php/mysql and nobody really knows except a few people, not even my closest friends know what i do at home all day long.

Too much facebook :helpme

I've had a subscription to Scientific American for over 20 years.

Geek alert...........

I buy stuff from ThinkGeek just to feel a little geekier :-)

I'm an extreme movie geek
I have several thousand submissions to IMDB.com
I'm working on a side project/book on the history of horror movies and the transition of these movies in the early days of the Hays Production Code to the films of today....basically how they went from not being able to show much of anything on screen to today's pretty no holds barred sex, violence and gore. A great documentary called "This Movie Not Yet Rated" bitched about the MPAA and it's double standards when it comes to issuing ratings to movies. It got me digging deeper into that evolution from Hays to the MPAA and how things have changed and evolved. Horror movies were generally most affected (good and bad) by these changes...


sorry, I almost went into full on geek mode there ;-)

make and post custom songs for guitar Hero 3 (PC version)

Good start kmanrox, now add something related to Star Wars into the mix and you're gold.

Was studying cybernetics, always enjoyed solving triple integrals and physics, beeing a massive music and movie geek, world war II and modern history as a hobby, enjoying reading biographies of well known politicians, reading anything regarding criminal psychology...

I guess that's enough for now..

I have sex by myself

I collect rocks, I assemble/alter/customize/mold from poxy/paint warhammer figurines as well as play the game, I build odd things for no damn valid reason, I garden, I raise worms, and um I shall shut up now.

I would have to join you here. I take so many pictures of my dog that it borderlines crazy...


Is it geeky? A bit.

I think it is much more annoying to others when I show them 1000 pictures that all look the same:-)

Coin collecting...

Watch conspiracy videos on YouTube and get mad and want to over throw our leaders.

I play DND (Dungeons and Dragons)... Right now my brother's GM of our Star Wars campaign LOL I truely am a geek

Me too.. last month I built a 4'x2' workbench it's really cramping my living room space. Girlfriend was starting to bitch so for justification I built a new computer this month.. saying "see, I told you I needed this table"

I take pics of my kid in public.

Was my pasion from age 7 to um 29. Full on conventions, beta tester, blah blah.

hey aftershock... you're as warped in normal every day life things as i am in sexual things ;-)

where's the latenight geeksquad at??

I install new Linux distros for fun on my laptop. Now on distro # six within two months.

I masturbate to Engadget. Daily.

I feel so dirty now :1orglaugh

i post religiously to gfy...


i also have an absurdly large collection of retro video games and consoles...

You mean besides making FF extensions, coding PHP and that my primary OS is fedora?
Hmm.... well, I don't speak in slangish, ebonic, hip hop, latest fad english... that tends to come across as geeky these days.

I collect books, i can outgarden most females, and can cook circles around most fake TV chefs

I play world of warcraft and have installed a teamspeak server on my computer so I can talk to my friends when we play in a group.

I'm addicted to caffeine.

I surf GFY from the bar

I'm a magician.

:)

I have the real geeks do it.

I still use Frontpage.

Oh, I have opened Photshop and cropped and rotated an image. Big day for me that one.

;-)

Consantly check and tweak my Buffalo router which is running the amazing tomato firmware to ensure that the QoS settings I've put in place prevent my dick of a housemate from consuming all the bandwidth.

That, and checking my cable modem with DocsDiag for SigQu errors.

I played it too from age 8 till 15, we were the best friends who played that and then we suddenly stopped, it was also something as the end of one era to me - the end of the true childhood.

We all started to hail things such as lifting weights, girls and booze later on (also PC's in my case)..

nice!! so tell us how you guys REALLY feel........

I do both. What did I win? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

My geek trats are...

1. I write PHP
2. When I am not at my computer I think I should be
3. I love SCI FI movies
4. I think math is cool
5. I watch The Lab With Leo on Tech TV (religiously I might add)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Is like obsession :P and to hear the sound of IE :P

-I program web and mobile services out of my bat cave for a living
-I restored an old Mortal Kombat upright arcade box and then modded it to be a full mame box playing thousands of original arcade classics
-I like Doctor Who (old and new)
-I once broke into the university cafeteria in the middle of the night, picked the lock on the huge LED message sign control box, and reprogrammed it to say obscene and insulting things about the food, and then locked it out so they couldn't fix it without physically removing the sign.

Geek THAT.

in my opinion you slaughtered a classic which was perfectly fine as is. plenty of cheaper cabinets avad screen available to build a custom mame cabinet in. :2 cents::1orglaugh

i play w.o.w a few times a week

Geezus. I thought I was pretty geeky until I read this thread!

:1orglaugh

I buy DVDs I have no intention of ever watching... just to add to the collection.

I watch Naruto.

The geekiest thing I do? WOW, there's so much to choose from! LOL
I'd have to say the geekiest is that I actually run a "geek" blog and, hmm...well, probably even more geeky is the way I over-analyze my and others code. I actually use a lot of time physically writing my code so it's legible, noted and easily followed by others. I also like to make object classes (Object Oriented Programming) for almost everything worthy. Hah.
