Are you a computer geek? - PhotoCamel

Paul Shields · 07-29-2006

There are a disproportionately high number of computer literate and computer professional contributors on the Camel I feel. However, there's 'doing it as a dayjob' (like myself) and 'doing it as a religion' (also like myself, sadly). So, now's the time to look into the mirror and ask yourself - are you a geek?

Here's my score, which is rather disappointing in highlighting the emptiness in my artistic existence..., but is not completely geeky, so I can rest easy.

You can click the image to take the test yourself.

Blinky · 07-29-2006

You dusted me... but I'm rusty after five years of being just a user.

Latinbob · 07-29-2006

Hah! You two are totally geeky. I scored a 50, and didn't save my image. And I used to be in IT too. I'd do better on a Latin test...

Mr. Pickles will score a 100.

scoundrel1728 · 07-30-2006

Aargh! I scored 75!

badpickev · 07-30-2006

i got bored of it asking the same question over and over yet still somehow managed to get a 78 so if i was totally honest, i hate to think what i would have gotten

Mr. Pickles · 07-30-2006

Latinbob is smart....

I've been doing this stuff since high school (1974). The hard part for me was finding a dang ASCII chart to decode the message "49204561742046726F6773".

BTW, here is one of my latest creations

I've posted this in another forum and not one response yet. I think people are afraid. I swear, no toes were hurt in the taking of this photo. <LOL>:

Rense · 07-30-2006

That test must be wrong:

Mr. Pickles · 07-30-2006

I kind of like eating frogs. Well the legs actually. Taste like chicken.

The foot shot is interesting. The toes is kind of scrunchy, but I'm a geek apprently, so I could be wrong about what is good photography.

TonyK · 07-30-2006

Could be Hobit feet?

The group here is having a theme day: Toes or facades. I selected toes.

Paul Shields · 07-30-2006

Wow, Mr. Pickles - 100 ! Do you have a real life?

. I bow to your geekness.

btw - TonyK. I hope you didn't use such things as ASCII charts to get some of the answers. I don't think that's what geeks do

.

Blinky · 07-30-2006

What I want to know is, was that Seymour Cray?

The Army taught me to not memorize information, just to remember where to look it up.

I recognized the 20 as spaces and just needed to decode the rest. That is the only part of the test I used a reference for.

Blinky,

Yep you're right see the following link.

Dang, no wonder I missed so many. I thought that dude was Jim Lehrer... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Lehrer

Are you kidding? Google is God-like! I looked up the ASCII chart, the ROT13 chart and verified 1337... which is so yesterday, by the way. Google is God-like.

It was a geek test. Not a NPR test.

Technically Lehrer was a PBS (Public Broadcasting System) guy, not an NPR (National Pinko Radio) guy. :
