A PSA from Zornhau to any geek men in the Lounge.

[LynzM]

You may think you want a geek wife, or a geek girlfriend.

However.

When you end up spending an hour explaining computer intricacies to her, starting out with basic drive structure and file systems for both Linux and Windows, and winding up at D-Flip Flops, with a lot (um, a LOT) of detours on the way...

You just might wish her love were for the pink, sparkly kind of flip-flops. :P




Um, I'm just sayin', an all. :evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

1. I'm afraid in my case it's just that I'm shallow.

Big brains are hot. And I can't date someone who I don't think is hot. :)

[LynzM]

2. Heh.

:) I agree with you, for the record.

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. This thread has performed an illegal function

and will now continue in that same vein. :bounce:

[LynzM]

4. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reboot

I'm working on getting used to Linux. It's been... challenging. I think I'm not driven enough, you know? But tonights discussion helped a lot, because now I can see a lot of the parallels in Windows and Linux. And since I spend 8 hours/day operating in Windows, things make more sense.

[LynzM]

5. Kick for the daytime crowd....

:bounce:

[SarahB]

6. We're different kind of geeks.

Not the hard core programming types, but random movie and music trivia, documentary lovin' kind of geeks. He's more tech than me, but we wouldn't give up each other's geekness at all. Keeps us on on toes and we wouldn't have it any other way. I am wearing pink, sparkly slippers though! :P

:hi:

[LynzM]

10. Hehe...

Yep, there are geeks of all varieties! I'm glad you guys can share and revel in your geekiness! :D :hi:

[TrogL]

7. I was attempting to explain the religious concept of the Trinity to CraftyGal

When the explanation invoked the ISO/OSI 7 layers of networking and its relationship to UNIX daemons, then she got it.

I luv CraftyGal.

[LynzM]

11. Heh.

:rofl: I can't say that it would have clarified it for me, but I'm glad it worked for her!

[ZombieNixon]

8. Lelapin and I are two very different kind of geeks.

I know C++, Indo-European languages, and random facts about Kim Jong-Il. She knows the intricacies of Tudor politics and the history of obscure French landmarks. :P

[lizziegrace]

9. god help you both

she also knows more about the saints than most priests, is pretty fluent in French and knows the most likely places for alien sightings...

The latter could come in helpful. ;)


:P


I'd sympathize, but I think you've both made your decision and now must live with it. hehe....

[LynzM]

12. Oh geez....

:rofl: You guys have lots of knowledge-sharing to do! Which, in my opinion, is excellent. :D

[Pierre.Suave]

13. I found a Mac Geek

Does that count? And not in a million years would she care to know ANYTHING about how her computer works, as long as it works.

[LynzM]

14. Yep, that counts :)

Like I said above, there are all kinds of geeks! I guess I just meant more like, be careful what you wish for, smart women will want to pick your brain! :D

[Pierre.Suave]

19. Oh, she picks my brain alright...

That is for sure.

We both went to college for different things, so we pick each others brains about stuff the other should know.

[DarkTirade]

20. I just met one

and it's a little weird. Compatability issues and whatnot.

[Pierre.Suave]

26. Switch to mac

it is the easiest way to fix that problem.

[DarkTirade]

27. Unfortunately that's not really an option.

I'm just too deep into the Wintel world with the things I do.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

15. Geek girls rule!

[LynzM]

17. Why, thank you

:D

[sniffa]

16. tell me more about these flip flops

geek

[LynzM]

18. Well, for starters...

They look like this:



Or this, depending:

[RetroLounge]

21. I've found a book-geek and poetry-geek...

I'm in friggin' heaven...

:9

[LynzM]

22. Awesome :D

That's fantastic, dude! :bounce:

[no name no slogan]

23. Get a Mac

[GOPisEvil]

24. My girl is the computer geek.

I nod a lot and say, "uh huh". It works. :D

[Turbineguy]

25. My SO likes it

when I explain how we keep the exhaust gasses in a turbocharger from contaminating the lube oil.
