      These are 10 commandments of being geek (There can be many more... This is not bible) : 1 > You still love your good old pants. 2 > You like pizza and cola 3 > That computer in your bedroom is connected to more equipments then just modem or router. I hope you got a switch too... 4 > Lots of computer books in your bookshelf. 5 > Robotic alarm clock .. maybe D2-R2.. 6 > You still like Star wars, Lord of the rings, star trek,.and movies and series on those line. 7 > You remember lines from those movies and use as often as you can.. 8 > You like to upgrade your gadgets every now and then. 9 > Friends asks you to fix their computers. 10 > You feel amazed by how you remember your passwords for 50 different techy-geeky subscription sites.

          - 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.

          Because you insist that she be fluent in Klingon, Elven, and Assembly before being exposed to such an irrelevant language.

            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.
