    39%. Said I might even be able to get a job in the computer field. :-D BW "I'm coming with you! I got you fired, it's the least I can do. Well, the least I could do is absolutely nothing, but I'll go you one better and come along!" - Homer J. Simpson

      hehe, I scored 39% :-) I've always known that I'm a pretty lukewarm geek. Which is fine with me :cool: ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff

        66% apparently... "geek (noun, slang) Etymology: perhaps alteration of dialectal geck, from Low German gek, meaning fool." :laugh: So does this make me 66% fool? Are you messing with my mind? :rolleyes:

              57%. But I know with some work, I can get that percentage up. :-D Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

                      Should I be proud or not??? X| X| You're pretty much a nerd, sure enough. So if that's what you wanted to hear, well done, ish. I mean you're a "kind-of" geek, but definitely not gifted. Either you're a hard worker who's as thick as two short sales executives, or you just can't be bothered with detail. Whichever, you're a loser. That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig.

                        :-D That rocks. Not to sure this could be called a 'suitable' Christmas present. Thinking of such things, I've been dropping hints for a CP mug and mouse mat, I wonder if they will pay off...

                                You're on a particularly useless cusp known as "being a bit of a nerd". Nobody really trusts what you say about computers, but at the same time, they keep asking you really annoying questions that they could answer for themselves if they just spent five minutes thinking about it. You also have to spend a lot of time not having a life in order to keep your slightly inadequate skills up to date. You have a choice: work harder and learn more, or give up and start to enjoy life.

                                    Hmmm... it strikes me that we should be doing better on this - like all above 90%? Does CP have the wrong following (are we all strippers posing as dev's), or is the survey odd? :~
