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a dual boot machine at home, I have a GPG key and I write geek-code to update our website (of which my page is very out of date; I've just been too busy).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:
- Geeks love being geeky and playing with their geek-toys
- Geekness extends beyond work and infiltrates the home
- Geeks want their home to resemble 'Dilbert's Ultimate House'
- There are different levels of geekness
- Geeks have geek-awe of those geeks who hold a higher level of geekness than themselves
- Geeks make great husbands
- Geek-husbands steadily turn geeky their non-geek wives
- My husband is 100% geek (if in doubt, check out the rest of our blog, our website, and the hits when 'Googling' Andrew)
