I have a blue windbreaker jacket that looks like the FBI ones, but on the back it says BOFH. I'm serious. In the mid-90s there was a big Usenet (I think) deal where a bunch of sysadmin type people had them made. I have only ever worn it once. I feel like WAY too much of a geek with it on.

I want one! :D
 
Hmm... TheRegister still sells BOFH wares... But more like T-Shirts and mugs and stuff. ;)

Gotta love BOFH, though... :)

ah ha !! emoticons are proof that geeks have emotions and are capable of expressing them at some level. of course tommy's lack of proper emoticon use might presnt a different perspective :p

(ok, tommy. now you can be offended if you want, but i'll warn you that being offended is an emotion :D )

Or you could look at it as our way of staying out of trouble when saying certain things. ;)
 
emoticons are better than feelings.
if i am :) :( >:O or :-? or nothing nobody makes a problem id i don't use a smiley.
instead many women ... offline break the balls wanting at all costs to know "how you feel" .. if i feel bad i don't feel like talking. i recognise only "uncomfortable" as a bad feel and i can't recognise often if that is angry, nervous, unsecure etc.. i think i need something like iFeel .. so a logically programmed feelings. .. and if they go in tilt then just see the console log what crashed and why ....

:p

ah but....this indicates an awareness of other people's feelings. a genuine sign of having some EQ. :D

well, there are logical feelings. it makes sense to feel certain ways at certain times. the hardest times to talk about your feelings is when you are experiencing many of them at once. but this is also the most beneficial time to talk about them so that you can identify them and act to bring things back in balance. to refer to another thread in this forum - it's always nice to get an error code you understand. :D
 
... yea ed. can i somehow switch on the error log in my head?? i mean all i'd need to do when i go in tilt would see the crashlog in console and understand why i didn't function correctly.. :p
 
:p

well my biggest problem isn't understanding the error code, it's remembering what i was doing at the time - figuring out what variables contributed. and darn if next time it happens, i don't go ahead and repeat the action without paying any attention to the confirmation window. :D

Nah, the mental error log is still in early development stages and is completly unusuable... I finally turned mines off after too many core dumps caused a stack overflow. :p :D
 
.. well if i understood why i go in tilt i could do some scripts that would resolve the problems the nest time i'm going to crash ... :p

If you are able to do that, let me know and give me a copy? Please? :D

My only work-around is to smile and look innocent... might not work in all situations but has kept me out of trouble so far. ;)
