You know your a geek if...:
You whisper hexadecimal in your sleep.
You don't know what your snail mail address or phone number is.
People ask you for your address so they can come round and visit, you give them your email address.
You know what pin #22 on a parallel port d-sub connector does.
You know the name of every function in the standard C library, or even know what it is.
You believe the day Microsoft make something that doesn’t suck is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

Your turn.

And yesterday, I heard him mumbling to himself, and it turned out that he was trying to solve the "Knights and Pages" puzzle --

"Many years ago, three knights waited to cross the river Neva. Each knight had his own page, so there were six people. The boat they had could only carry two. However, the knights were ferocious killers and the pages were terrified. In fact, it was certain that any one of the pages would die of heart failure if he were not protected at every instant from the other knights by the presence of his own master. Was there a way to cross everyone over the river without losing a page?"

(However, I have to admit that I spent my morning drifting in and out of sleep thinking about the problem where Vassily has acquired a 12-liter bucket of vodka and wish to share it with Pyotr. However, all Pyotr has is an empty 8-liter bottle and an empty 5-liter bottle. How can the vodka be divided evenly?)

You look at everything and wonder "how could I model that?"

You look at everything's look and think "oh man I bet that would make a good texture!"

You know you're a programmer when:

You look at anything in life and get ideas for something that could help your programming.
