  • the one in which I lose geek points

    This past Sunday, I attempted to fall into an online video game. This would have been a fantastic way to hang out with friends with whom I had developed an excellent relationship over the past few years. Unfortunately, the day was mostly full of fail, and I have slipped in my geek rating.

    How could I possibly slip? Stupidity, with a smattering of laziness.

    I've spent so long just building and tinkering, content to be a slave to the Microsoft God, that I've forgotten some of the basic tenets of programming. Like a noob, I blindly downloaded and re-downloaded, deleted and reinstalled, until I wanted to just put a boot straight through my brand-spanking new laptop. The lame-o geek in me forgot to actually install the damn patches after downloading.

    Obviously, I need to get a brian, because I'm a moran. Or drink less kool-aid. It's a toss-up.

    Tests have shown that you obviously drink way too much Kool Aid.....

    Actually, he's in 'Bama until Friday morning. His Granny passed. After that, he'll be down around the 22nd. He'll have his cell with him. If you need the number email me.

    I say your geek rating remains in its place. We have all had those moments. "I just got the damn thing, why won't it work? Oh, plug it in? How silly."
