lol Nice diagram. So now that this small group has pretty clearly placed me in the nerd group, I would like to know where the nerd parties are? I notice geeks have all these crazy parties. Where are the nerd parties? Or do they have parties too but relabel them educational seminars? :-\

Not really; with coding, measuring twice isn't quite so important. :-D

While developing, I don't need to get it right the first time. Only the final product needs to be correct.

Ni! I mean, No!

So what you're saying is that as long as all the legs ultimately end up the same length, the table won't wobble?

I think I might be a geek. However, I get the feeling, after comparing myself to the droves of self-proclaimed geeks that I'm not. I read somewhere that one of the most label-inflicting habits of a geek is akin to liking techo-gadgets or having some strange cultish affinity for Lord of the Rings (and the like). I could care less about almost all newer gadgets though, iPhone or i(anything) for that matter. I also can't speak klingon, and have no desire. So while I consider myself a geek because I find great joy in developing databases, data-driven apps and turning complex datasets into understandable information, I don't think I fit the mold. If not a geek, then what? Anal? Odd? lol

I'm never bothered by the "hot new" electronic gadgets, either -- because I know there will always be better and cheaper options, a few months down the line (unless it was a stoopid idea, in which case it just dies). Give me a new woodworking machine or set of cutting tools, though...

If you were a real geek, you would be building your own gadgets :-D Now where did I leave my soldering iron... A.

The only rule... If you exclude someone else for liking or not liking something, you are not a geek.

It's not dead. It's pining for the fjords.
