      There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. We shouldn't assume something's debugged just because everyone in the whole world has access to the source code.

        * 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.

          In my house it does! :-D The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices. [Roger Wright on stupid people] We're like private member functions [John Theal on R&D] We're figuring out the parent thing as we go though. Kinda like setting up Linux for the first time ya' know...
