A not-so-geeky blog

So after throwing a tanty the other night about how 'geeky' our new found blog had become, I've decided to do something about it!

Although I'm not an official IT geek, admittedly I am still a geek. I have a folder called 'Geek Stuff' in my email which contains a number of geeky emails, whenever Andrew gets a new geek-toy I ask him where mine is, and I understand geek-speak to the extent that I can hold my own at Andrew's work drinks (well, I like to think I can).

In fact, at work I'm the resident IT expert because firstly, every time my colleagues come to me for IT help I tell them to shut down their computer, which magically fixes what ever it was that was broken in the first place, and secondly, every time our proper-work-IT-geeks announce they're upgrading our system, I tell my colleagues the upgrade will lead to 'an unexplained outage' (which it inevitably does).

My geek status is raised higher still because I operate a dual boot machine at home, I have a GPG key and I write geek-code to update our website (of which my page is very out of date; I've just been too busy).

Although I have this claim to fame, the non-geek in me vowed this blog would not become a complete geek-zone. So to tone down the geekness, I've posted these spectulations about my geeky husband, which I'm sure wives-of-geeks worldwide recognise in their geeky husbands:

1. Geeks love being geeky and playing with their geek-toys
   
2. Geekness extends beyond work and infiltrates the home
   
3. Geeks want their home to resemble 'Dilbert's Ultimate House'
   
4. There are different levels of geekness
   
5. Geeks have geek-awe of those geeks who hold a higher level of geekness than themselves
   
6. Geeks make great husbands
   
7. Geek-husbands steadily turn geeky their non-geek wives
   
8. My husband is 100% geek (if in doubt, check out the rest of our blog, our website, and the hits when 'Googling' Andrew)
