* You use the ISO date format in email conversations with friends ("Let's meet on 2004-11-02"). * You think of malformed HTML when you discover a "<" character on the milk carton. * You believe your memory works like a computer, and you often make references to this ("I had her phone number in my short term memory but it got deleted"). * You don't know the name of your new colleague, even though she's been working in the same office for a month (you do know details of the latest Java release, though). * Whenever you spill coffee you want to hit Ctrl+Z. * You think of character encoding issues when you write on paper. * You start counting at 0 instead of 1. * You avoid redundancy when you talk but you enjoy the confusion caused by triple negation. * You won't say "bless you" when someone sneezes – "don't feed the trolls!" * You feel IRC is the perfect place to spend Valentines. * You think FrontPage and WYSIWYG are for sissies. * You had a blog before the word was invented. * You think the vi editor is actually usable. And the number one sign you are a programming geek: * You think programming jokes are funny.

Sadly I have had that thought pop in my mind several times now when I make a mistake in real life. :-) For me, I know I'm a geek as I get aggrevated when people try to talk about technology but have no idea what the hell they're talking about. Some actual examples: "So you make programs by typing A+ codes into the notepad?" "Can I load your internet with that red button?" "ICQ? Where's the instant messenger, I mean like MSN?" "Cheat codes? Oooh like a secret recipe huh?" and for toppers, "I just love my AOL!" (sorry hun if you're reading this ;-))

Aparently the author thinks there are people so dedicated to their... "craft"... that they'll undertake the blindingly difficult task of learning to fake a sneeze, just to garner a knee-jerk response.

What do you mean "You think the vi editor is actually usable" I thought it was. Is there something better out there? Wow something better than vi I shutter at the thought what more could you want? ;P
