Bad Signs of Geek-dom

10. You spend your Saturdays coding Perl scripts, while listening to DEVO on the headphones, musing to yourself "Does a Saturday get any better?"

9. You send an email to your friends, attesting to #10.

8. You get replies via email on Sunday Morning. Most ask "what are you working on?" not "have you considered professional help?"

7. You convince your kids that Quicken98 is one heck of a great game.

6. You forsake all computer games save one, and you rule that one game.

5. You time your bedtime by either Conan O'Brien's theme song, or the wail of Willard Scott.

4. You're really concerned about the newest version of TCP. In fact, you've taken the time to confront your peers on the subject.

3. You have a web site, that displays at least three corporate logos that you have no association with, and if you have a "personal" or "family" section, its been under construction for as long as the site has existed.

2. You've at least one computer at home running some flavor of UNIX. And you're proud of it. Bonus points if its Solaris.

1. "bash" doesn't mean a hit or party.

0. You know that zero is a number, too.
