Geekiest moment of your life:
Probably when I quit my old school to go into Game Programming (Was set out to be a Network Administrator), Dude, I am going into Game Programming for my career, granted it will net me money, but if that is not the geekiest job to get into, then I don't know what is.
 
When did you first realize you were a geek:
When I reached 5,000 posts on an Iinternet message board.

Have you ever said anything geeky that someone else did not understand:
Jason has been known to use BRB and ROFL in normal conversation.

What is the funniest/most bizarre computer/Internet/geeky experience you have ever had:
The time that I got that cel-phone delivered to my office in an envelope, and then it rang, and then this guy warned me about some guys, and I crawled through the cubicles to get away from them, and then went out onto this ledge, and then...oh wait, no, that was The Matrix.

What is your favourite quote:
The Internet is Serious Business." -- Thanks Atomix for that one

Microsoft Word -- My grammar is terrible.

What do you do when you are (heaven forbid) not at your computer(s):
Study, watch scitleC (Celtics) games, memorize Pi to 30 decimal places.

You have a time machine that can only be used once. If you use it you will not come back. What date would you set it to, and what ONE thing would you take with you (not a computer):
I'm guessing that Jason would probably use the time machine to go back in time to warn himself not to install Windows ME on his laptop, and he would probably bring bring a rescue disk in case he didn't get there in "time."

Jason, who is a big fan of the word "dude", says he knows .html and "pretty much the business of gaming in general." Jason, who has been known to double-click his TV remote control, knows that the three most dangerous things are a programmer with a soldering iron, a manager who codes, and a user who gets ideas.

Data Recovery For Dimwits, Dolts, And Deleters

If you work with computers in your business or line of work, you know that there's nothing more frustrating than accidentally deleting a file, or worse yet, losing your data entirely because of a hard drive crash, a power spike, or you do something careless like leaving your laptop in a coffee shop.

Foraying Into The World Of Forex

As a computer geek (I prefer to call myself a man with an appreciation for redundant technologies) my desk has always been filled with monitors (four at present), and there's always room for more (well, there isn't, but I could always get a bigger desk). I use my monitors for a variety of tasks and pleasures, but I can never quite utilize the space the way professionals do, like stock traders. These forex wizards have charts, graphs, and updates running on multiple monitors, with stats,...
