Geek Love: Using Open Source Software
May 20, 2008
You are asking yourself, how can a Geek love another Geek? It seem though maybe its like a robot trying to cry. But either way sooner or later, something will happen, just like when Humans will never be able to reach to the moon, it did happen! Just Like I was saying that Geeks loves other Geeks. How and Why? Well you for beginners, Geeks are not just Geeks, there is a sub-genre of Geeks – to name a few – Band Geeks, Pyro Geeks, Car Geeks, Food Geeks, Math Geeks, etc… but the types of Geeks I am trying to reach is Net Geeks or Computer Software Geeks. and all in between….and of course you don’t need to be a geek for my blog….So in my title “Geek Love: Using Open Source Software”. Lets sorts things out:
What is Love?
Taken from Urban Dictionary ”
Love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you’re in love. If you find it, don’t let it go. One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
That word is love. ”
What is a Geek?
Taken from Urban Dictionary ”
|
The term “geek” originally referred to the carnival performers whose act consisted of biting the heads off chickens and eating glass. Over time it came to be applied to anyone who got paid to do work considered odd or bizarre by mainstream society.The term now enjoys a special status within the technical community, particularly among particularly knowledgable computer programmers. To identify oneself as a “geek” indicates a recognition that most people still consider programming computers to be a bizarre act, along with a certain fierce satisfaction in being very good at their inglorious profession.
That most software geeks now easily earn twice as much as the average laborer just sweetens their defiant embrace of the term. Note: Unlike the word “nerd,” which is always pejorative, “geek” often carries a positive connotation when used by one of the group. The use of the term by outsiders is considered insulting. “If you really need the right answer, check with Bob; he’s our resident alpha geek.”

Geek Addict: Blogging and Forums
May 19, 2008
Beware of the trap of being addicted to social feedings.
You can’t have enough information of other people’s lives.
I can’t believe I can say I read way to much on people daily lives. twitter and rss feeds are addictive. Here I said it! the 12 step program, Do you really thing I was going to give you guys a 12 step program for IT addicts? Sure I am not. I belong to about 13 forums and I read about 17 blogs daily. It is like a inlet for me because sometimes I have an introverted part of me, just like I have an outrovertiness about myself. Do you know what I am trying to say? I mean that I don’t talk to people sometimes, and I like that. Don’t get me wrong but I do like talking to people about a lot of things. Why do I read a blog and read a forum post? Well, persay maybe its a way for me to have a conversion with a person without the body language or the fear of rejection of my disability. When I read blogs I know that that person via they way they type or what the topic was. So, I really talk with the person daily, I at least comment on thier blog post, is that enough? A forum is a little different, there is multiple people talking about someone’s thought or feeling about a situation! What do you guys think about types of ways to communicate, we all know about email, but what other things, like Facebook, myspace, or any bother SN (Social networks). What do you guy think about a universal Network? like Create a bridge of all SN’s into one pot?
A Geek Life: Lose those pounds!
May 12, 2008
Here fatty fatty,
I am a Geek, thats Mr. Geek to you! Mr. Geek is about 300 pounds around a month ago! Mr. Geek is now around 285!
So, the topic is losing weight. And No I am not tell you how to slim down, the magic DIEt or do the purfect weight lose program. What I doing is telling you how I am losing weight. You must wonder why or how this topic relates to my Edublog? I am a computer guy, the fat computer instructor, the programmer, and a digital chef of Art. There are many other thing that I am , face it, I am ME. and to relate that, you are YOU! Food is important, it is part of learning, have you heard the term “Feed the Mind” yes, I know just learning a lot of stuff but really, it means that the food you eat is the fuel for learning! In comparison, what you eat is how you would learn.
How about losing those pounds? Well, you can’t just lose them, it is not like you clear the buffer and poof the memory is gone. Losing weight is math! here are the variables ax=Intake, qw=What rate of burning the intake, ct=How much intake burned, sg=End Result. ml=Your Body
So CALC this: (ax*qw)-ct=sq=sq-ml
Sum this up……If you burn more then your intake, you WILL Start losing weight
Well, Mr. Geek thats just fine and dandy but how do I keep myself from eating more than I can burn? Its your Will! Have faith that you will lose weight! Here are some Tips for losing weight, It was for me
1. Plan: Know what, where, and how much your going to eat!
a. Calendar style
b. Do Research- what is good/bad for your body
c. Eat many times a day in small chunks
d. Make a Goal, A Goal that you can achieve
2. Cut the Pop: Your Fabby Gut is from your sugar intake!
a. You can drink teas
b. Flavor water
3. Exercise: How much? I hiked a good hour everyday
4. Small: It’s proven that you’ll eat less from a small source then more then a large Source
a. Cut half or quarter size of your intake
5. Water: Drink Twice or triple amount of your current water intake (Cold)
6. Fast Food: you can cut fast food, not really needed, just make smart choices
7. Attitude: Important, “I am losing weight because I want to, not because I have too!”
What ever you do don’t shake it cause you haven’t tried it! This is a choice for myself and I need to give it some time. Six days ain’t going to work, try 3 weeks. Don’t force yourself! Make A Change through a challenge, if you succeed, reward yourself with knowing your weight lost, not with more food! I wish you the best in A Geek Life: Lose those pounds!
