that was my assessment but it almost got me kicked off a former star trek cast member's facebook page. Nerd (to my opinion) was always someone with an exceeding level of knowledge of a specific discipline that is taught in a school. physics nerd, math nerd, bio nerd... etc..... then there's star trek geek, star wars geek.. seems self-explanatory to this computer nerd who follows no specific geek hobby.

if only i got up early enough to beat you to this joke.. If i were 15 years younger (that would make me class of 2007 instead of 1992),,, i would totally have done this and gotten a nice suspension. our computer club had "the Oregon trail" and "Turtle Command"... in case anyone wondered why brilliant programmers were so scarce in the 80s, the PC gaming in-school sucked hardcore. mornin slashers. nopainogain.

Today, I went to the EMC/VMware event in Baltimore. me, twentysome 50-60 year old C-levels, no technical information that could be gleaned, but a bunch of salivating million dollar budgets. I asked the engineer-presenter about his replication's bandwidth demands, he was not prepared to answer... the C-level guys asked questions like "what color is the box it comes in?" want to sound like a CIO? forget everything you know about object oriented programming, IPv6, and OSPF and Linux,, and mimic a sales-evangelist from EMC.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

Working...
