You know you're a geek when... You buy a new TV and open it up to look inside before you turn it on.

You decide to watch the newest episode of Smallville rather than go to a strip club on your company's dime.

Just information overload. :-O

I don't think they're up yet (though slides from some sessions are[^]) In the meantime however there are summaries of all of the sessions here[^] to give you a flavour of what the conference is all about.

The only way I think I would do template metaprogramming :rolleyes: is after a few stiff drinks.

Software Zen: delete this;

Me too. I'll stick to algorithms and concurrency, thank you. :)

...you're supposed to use those for quick-chilling your beer... then you use the dusty surfaces for sketching while drinking.

Hey, everyone knows the dust is there as natural protection for furniture.

All your phone calls from family, friends, and neighbours begin with "I have a problem with my computer..."

you find "let's compile her" funny.

Oh jeez, I had to put up with that for 3 months when I moved into a new place 100 miles from my mum. You know you're a geek when you have a freephone tech support number just for your family to call you with tech problems. Or you set up a free cellphone calling group for the same purpose. I've done both. FML. :-| codegecko

...you need to reprogram the central heating timer but you refuse to do it till you've finished internet enabling it so you can do it from the lounge.

This joke not only makes sense, but is also funny... There are 10 typs of people in this world - those who understand binary and those who don't.

[IncredibleMouse]

You know you are NOT a geek when you ask someone what they do for a living, and after they reply with software applications developer, and you respond with - "Oh that's great becuse I'm having a problem with my computer...." :mad:

Most likely looking for user feedback. :laugh:

I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

- all the phone numbers you give people are SkypeIn numbers. - you find yourself often having a conversation about how keyboards aren't as good as they used to be. - your 2 yr old daughter can log into a PC, use a mouse to play Purple Place on Windows 7, navigate youtube like a veteran, take photos with a compact digital camera and review them on the LCD, but can't speak English yet.
