I am Geek

So who else would rather spend 30 mins perfecting a regular expression search and replace in Visual Studio's Find/Replace dialog than spend the 30 seconds it would take to do it manually. We need a 'flexing skinny, white geek muscles' emoticon

Hi, my name is El, and I am a Geek... Hi El.... It was 2 months since my last geek behavior.... Then MS released Windows 7. I caved. I downloaded it. But I held out for 3 days!! I tried! Oh well... Time to pull out Visual Studio and drown my sorrows in national elevation datasets.... err... I mean I am going to eat jerky and have diet coke while watching sci fi channel... err.... :sigh: It's hopeless.... I am a geek.

Yeah, I know. I would really like to bond with someone about the pitfalls of VB6 while visiting our aunt. J/K.

Or when your aunt is visiting? I would not want to be anywhere near that.

Well I spent an hour yesterday making an application that dumps my hardcoded constants into my local database and another that dumps my local database values to an INSERT script for the official test server database. sad. I could have just copied and pasted it into the VS2008 Edit table view and keep an extra excel copy but where's the fun in that?.

- hear me belch. Anyway love Reg Ex, nice bloke, but he can be a bit obscure when he's had a skinful (or I have). Actually in my experience Geeks come in three shapes: 1. Skinny, shy of the sun complexion, 2. Obtuse and sweaty, and the much rarer, 3. Fit as anything, sometimes suave, and embarrasing to the rest of us.
I just love Koalas - they go great with Bacon.

Who will spend 10 minutes to use his iPhone order a pizza on Pizzahut web site rather than making a simple 2 minute call to the Pizzahut.
You have an iPhone. You are not geek. Geeks understand that the iPhone is technologically impressive to those who don't know technology. MMS anyone?

I avoid regex whenever possible. In fact, I have exactly one instance of using it, and that's to verify email address formats.

Who else would rather spend days memorizing Pi with thousands of decimals, instead of just using Pi stored to a sufficient accuracy in your calculator? http://bigparadox.wordpress.com/[^] And I am not planning to calculate the circumference of the observable universe down to the planck length or something like that. And even if I would, I wouldn't need more than perhaps 50 decimals. Magnus

I would. Because if I can get the regular expression find/replace thing working properly, I can put it in a macro and use it again. For example: I have a macro that uses two regex find/replace operations to line up the columns in resource.h for my native Win32 apps. Visual Studio screws up the columns if your resource ID's have long names, and I've got some that are 70 characters or more.

Yeah I'm down with that .. I'd spend the 30 minutes doing that (but only if I could spend the 30 seconds posting on here to show you how clever I am) :)
The only thing unpredictable about me is just how predictable I'm going to be.
