Are you a computer nerd?

[Infrontation]

I wouldn't class myself as a 'Computer Geek / Nerd' because i'm not one to label myself or others. I have been labelled Computer Geek many times as I use the computer 12 hours + on school nights and 16 hours + on weekends and holidays. I have also been labelled for my knowledge in Computing on the whole which would range from:

• Website Design
• Website Development
• Programming
• Flash Design & Actionscript
• Application Design
• Use of correct grammar and not slang e.g 'i tlk in slang lyk3'
• I purchase computer magazines weekly

And really many many more but I am far from an expert or a nerd in computing as Carl said I don't have extensive knowledge in TCP/IP Protocols, I lack information to do with OS and Kernals and how to program one. I don't and can't even begin to understand some of the things about the advanced internet based programming and inteligence or even how software enginerring and administration works.

The basis of what you seem to think a 'computer geek' means is spending more than a few hours on Windows Live Messenger doing doodles on Photoshop and writing a bit of HTML clde and I can assure you that you are far from correct. The main basis of people who know the first thing about computers would have to be people whom frequently post in the Computers and Web Design section and also :Jin: who from what I understand has extensive knowledge in Website Development and vBulletin forums etc etc.

A computer geek in my opinion would have to be somebody who knows 100% of all computer based things which are from:

• Windows
• Macintosh
• Linux
• Unix
• Custom-Built
• Computer Componants (Graphics Cards, Motherboards etc)
• Website Design & Development
• Programming
• Software & Hardware Programming & Administration
• Animation (2D & 3D, Vector, Pixelated etc)
• CGI & Special Effects
• Graphics Design
• 3D Modelling
• System Commands
• Computer Repair
• Server Configuration
• Serverside Coding
• Client-Side coding
• Mathamatics Knowledge
• Marketing Plans
• SEO

There are thousands and that is just a short preview of what you would have to be knowledged in before you could even succsessfully be able to label yourself as a Computer Geek I mean for example the one person who probably could label himself is Bill Gates but all he did was create Microsoft and Windows and know he gets most of his Engineers and whatnot to do more as well he was a real geek back in College when he built it using stuff I wouldn't understand.

So from long-to-short you seem to be mis-using the concept Computer Geek as there is no point in steriotyping people on a Habbo Fansite which could never begin to be a computer expert, sure they may know a lot but not enough to be deemed an expert. Another example would have to be Science, a great discovery would make the discoverer famous but he wouldn't be an expert in it, the person who researches and studies it would be.

Sorry for writing so much but I tried to shorten it as much as I could. Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Geek

I classify myself weather I dont actually class, as a computer nerd. Im not weak willed. I work out 4 times a day, play sports, go to the shops with my friends etc. I also do extremely well in school.
Ive had many fights with my enemies, and weather I win or lose, I always put it behind me.

All your doing is thuther proveing your weekness of will, its shown by the fact your trying to disprive the comment by repeateing again again whats compleaty irelavent. You can be a ****ing body builder shash hitman if you want, That has no effect on the strengh of you will, resolve or charicter.
You classifey yousefl as a computer geek for that reason.
Your not classsifed as it by other people, as you are more aless computer illtate and dont even scrape close the the knolage level in computing requred to forfill even the lower end of the steriotype "/

Meyaz, I do have a social life. I have great mates, a beautiful girlfriend, a sister-in-law to be, 2 and a half year old niece and a small gang of punks, which we label ourselves. I do get fresh air. I bounce about on my friends trampoline, play runouts in the dark, go to the park after school and go to the town with my girlfriend/mates.

Since football is social :rolleyes:
