...Ahh.
"Pride goeth...", nonne? ...P'r'aps the reason Locatus was able to anoint himself the Supreme Geek of SVR is because I hadn't chimed in yet. Get a load of this...!!
58.77712% ... Extreme Geek
That's fer hacking, programming, roleplaying, freelance homework, comics, earth sciences (all), video games (old ones), SCAdianism, and having a Web page up pre-1996...and knowing my way around spots on the Internet that haven't been visited since. Most of the above I've been doing for at least twenty years.
Oh, yeah...and I was a Little League mascot. In my Roman gear.
And on "Nerd Day" at my high school, everyone dressed up as me. (I was strangely honored by this...)
And when those same former classmates found themselves calling me for computer tech support, you should have heard the worship-cum-apologies!!
...See, amici? --Life does work out, sometimes.
In Übernerdly bliss,
Aldus Marius Peregrinus.
