It's almost becoming a weekly thing - blogging. Hmm, sometimes I wonder how those of you who blog daily keep it up. Well, the chronological-diary type is not hard, of course, since you'll always have something to write about. But still I'm intrigued by those of you who manage to post at-least-mildly-interesting content without missing more than 2 days. Kudos to all of you.
I decided today that I am not as much of a geek as I thought I was. Stumbled on my seniors' blogs (this one and this one). I think they're self-admitted geeks. Which is cool - Garry will tell you that being a geek is cool. Uh, anyway, I guess I plummeted on the geekiness scale somewhere along the way between Sec Sch and Uni.
Of course I am still more than capable of doing things with my computer mere mortals cannot, but in comparison to some of the stuff these other guys do, maybe I'm just a demigod in digi-heaven. Hmm, there are many ways to make a claim at geekiness. One of mine is that I first used a computer before kindergarten. I think it was an Apple II (Look Ma, no hard disk!)
I see computers as powerful tools which I can exploit to enhance my life. I'm really more interested in using them than in the nitty gritty. Think I have enough comp science background to appreciate the nitty gritty behind how computers and systems work but I prefer to keep my hands clean. Uni level theory is mindboggling. I guess if I was a comp student, I could probably survive decently but I'm doing fine with the humanities now. Of course all this just gives me some sort of edge - being an Arts student (with whatever stereotypes that carries) who's good with computers.
Here's a really quick way of cooking instant noodles. Put noodles in bowl. Add hot water (from flask, etc). Microwave. Really fast, no kidding...
