We Haven't Learned Klingon - Yet
102% Geek
102%
My advanced age and long term computer usage helped determine such a high score. Did you know that computers existed and functioned before Windows? I remember ARPA and DARPA as well as the pterodactyls overhead and the annoying stegosauri that used to tromp through the agricultural area. Back to the quiz. At least they didn't ask if my eyeglasses were held together with white medical adhesive tape. Beagle finds all these interesting quizzes and I can't resist.
Speaking of Beagle, here is a link to her LiveJournal. This is a well organized site that is easy on the eyes. Don't go there expecting it to be candy coated. She is definitely one of the most compassionate, sweetest people I know, but her ability to be profound even shakes me sometimes. She does not mince words and can use profanity. That's not her normal style though. Lot of animal rights articles and she finds a lot of interesting stuff to post concerning things computerese. Of course this is possibly my favorite site. After all she is one of my two geek/nerd daughters, LOL.
We live in a world of techno babble and hardware driven devices. Sometimes our favorite place to visit with each other is in a game called GuildWars. Our latest points of interest seem to be located on the continent of Cantha. It is so much fun to use Teamspeak talking to her and her sister, Verdana, for hours sometimes while existing in this online world of fantasy and fun.
More about Teamspeak: Our dedicated server is located at the beach house. The speed has gradually increased to being as efficient and clear as a land line phone most of the time. Still working on it and more memory is on the way. Thanks to everyone that helps with this ongoing project. Let me take this opportunity to mention that if you are echoing just 'fix' it. Don't whine or have a temper tantrum, be nice to everyone else and 'fix' it. Use your headset. Remember, if your speakers are on you are aggravating the hell out of ALL other users. Stop it. Please, please take constructive criticism and 'fix' it!
Hmmmmm, maybe the score on the above test is making more sense as I reread what has just been written...
"The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, "Daddy, I need to ask you something," he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan."
