I’m a geek and this post is to celebrate it.

Some things I’ve done in the last couple of days that “regular” people might find geeky:

• Contemplated how anyone could ever have lived on dial-up (after my connection got shaped for excessive usage - long story involving me downgrading my plan and it unexpectedly coming into effect right away)
• Felt some nerdly pride when I captured the SOAP packets running between a client I’d written and fedWS2
• Logging into the machine that hosts this web site remotely. Nothing special, but for non-nerds the fact that it is in Chicago and I am all the way down the bottom (almost) of Australia should win some nerd points.
• Gotten so angry at the ugliness of the “Times New Roman” font in Word that I changed Normal.dot to get something more pleasing on a permanent basis
• Got a bit giggly over Generics
• Shed a tear over the beauty that is wireless networking
• Gathered EXTREME amounts of pleasure from closing 6 bugs in 2 hours before going to bed
• Getting into bed and reading for another hour about Objective-C
