Yes, some people think I was a geek once. And some people still believe I am. And sometimes I wish I really was a geek.
Anyway, I found a absolutely hilarious post on Digg, about "faking" being a geek. Only a true geek could come up with something like this... Just read the clip about programming languages taken out from the post (and he has tips about every other aspect of geek life):
---> Programming: Learn not only the names of these programming languages, but the order in which I present them: Basic, Cobol, Pascal, Ada, C, Java, Lisp, Perl, Python, Ruby, Assembler. These are listed in order of "least cool" to "most cool". Now you know what to do. Whenever the person you're talking to name-drops any language on this list, simply pick the next one and assert that this is what YOU prefer. What to do if you meet an assembler programmer? Act like any other geek: impressed! Bug them to teach you how to write a tic-tac-toe game that uses artificial intelligence in assembler. Stand and pretend to absorb their explanation in one shot. Shake your head in marvel and mutter, "And all that time, I was trying to do it the hard way!" <---
