Resistance is Futile...

thessalianThere are many geeks in my life. I live in the house of a geek, and I have other geek friends, some of whom live up to 8,000 miles away. So when I have a computer question -- one which may lead me to become a geek, thus adding a considerable ally to their evil army of caffeine-fuelled silicon-mongers -- where do you think I get the help from?
Well, not my house geek, that's for sure. I know he doesn't want to be superfluous and I know he's in an inexplicably pissy mood right now. All the same, it'd be nice if I could have had with him the conversation (in two parts) I had with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nightskywarlock and happypickle just now. Between the two of them, I worked out what mobo I was running, how I can overclock it, what kind of memory I need to buy and how many sticks will fit.
Oh lord. Geekage. Serious geekage. I just had a techincal discussion with those two. If I ever start learning to write more code-like things than HTML and a smidgen of Visual Basic, I am beyond Borged.
Which means it surprises me thatcholten99 isn't a little more supportive. I mean, all my geek friends from the old community would like to geek me. FOINM and SOINM would probably have been over the moon if I'd showed this interest earlier. I thought geeks lived to pull what Smith was doing in the latter two Matrix movies; make copies of themselves and take over.
I mean, sweetheart, really. I thought you wanted an army of the evil undead. I would have figured being part of an army of the evil overcaffienated would amount to the same thing.
