being a grown up

lig — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:18:49 +0000

Today I will hopefully take the last step to being a true grown up – buying a house. Only took me more the *grumble* years to do it. While all of these things are not *needed* perse to be a grown up. To me they are stepping stones along the way. Let me know if I missed anything on my checklist for it.

1) pass 18yrs old
2) have a car that runs regularly
3) have a career rather then a job
4) married
5) kids
6) buy a house
7) owing more then you make in a year

I need to get this book. Just reading the Web entry for “Socially Awkward/Possibly Deep Computer Geek (Cyberdorkus perpetuum)” had me just about ready to cry from laughter. It seems to be an old book – but I can handle that.

You know your a geek when…

I have a couple of comics that I read pretty regularly online – one of which is “Working Daze“. anyway – they are currently running a series on “You know you are a geek when… ” that has had me busting up every time. Since so many of you are like me – I thought you would enjoy them as well.

my sense of humor

This is for my family (though I admit i doubt they will get it) since most of my friends already know about this comic. I have to admit – even I don’t understand some of them but these two bust me up every time.

From the xkcd comic strip:

IT Crowd Season 2

lig — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 06:10:29 +0000

I have the IT Crowd intro as my cellphone ringtone and got to wondering when and if there will be a season 2. Started checking around and found this, which says a new episode should be showing on Jan. 5th. Supposedly there will be 8 more episodes.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

So how well do you know your holiday specials?

Try taking this quiz and see how well you know your holiday specials. I thought I knew them pretty well but I guess not. Only got 17/36 correct. Have to pay closer attention next year.

And just to have it PHP related – the site uses the .php extension.

So what is your score?

If programming languages were women

A friend of mine showed me this today (it is based off of an older version found here). Now sexism aside I have to say it was pretty dang funny. PHP’s write up:

PHP – Slick and slim lady. Very portable. Does nice and amazing things with her small body. Very good in aerobics. Not very sexy but intact. She is the kind of women that most men are happy to wed, though she will need a house maid because she is unable to carry heavy workload.
