78% geek - but that aint no where near enough for me

Who else has a quad xeon server under the stairs, hardwired gigabit ethernet networking through out the house, with the server running its own FTP and mail servers and running my own domain

Not to mention the other two PC`s in the house and three laptops (and a couple of PDA/phones for good use).

Mind you - i pale in to insignificance compared to some of me mates (they worry me sometimes) - jay for example, oh thats not geek, thats gay

Not only are you a Trekkie, you speak fluent Klingon. I'm very impressed.

Excuse me! I'm impressed that you even knew that was Klingon!!!!

Oh and I got 25%. Feel quite thick now, I must confess! I want to be a geek too!

Though there's a chav test going round very similar and I'm proud to say I only got 8% on that one - phew!

I had to offload some of my domains to an off site server because of bandwidth restrictions. I didn't want the diving and antique guns stuff squeezing out the SSL when it was downloading money.

If anybody wants to out geek me I bid this and watch them cry.

But I've tried recently to do the Rubik's cube, and I can't any more (only 2 sides!), so I'm not a geeky as I was when I was younger... and does going on the interweb after work to 'talk' to you lot count? Oh, and I collected badges when I was a kid, but swapped them on Noel Edmunds Multi Coloured Swap Shop for a big FO water pistol of the era ... but I still put that down as yes... so even less geeky!

That's where your problem is. You need to do it in layers, not sides. Top layer, middle layer, then bottom layer.

Not for someone with a computing degree, most of my colleagues are too busy playing games or watching TNG/DS9/TOS or the other one to answer the quiz!!!
