10 things Nerds Do on a Snowday

January 29th, 201037 views No comments

     Here in the good old state of Tennessee it is a rare day to get any amount of significant snow.  The last snow event that amounted to more than about three inches of the white stuff occured in 2003.  That should give you some idea of what I mean.  Now, being a Tech Geek and proud, badge wearing computer Nerd, I decided to make a list of what myself an my buddies did today as we received over 10 inches of the white stuff.  Here goes :

1.  Used Remote Desktop Protocal to connect to our work PCs from our home PCs through our corporate Terminal Services Gateway server.

2.  Helped stranded coworkers stuck in their homes connect to the
Microsoft Outlook Web Access Exchange Portal

3.  Use spare laptop with internal wireless card to connect XBOX 360 to your wireless router.

4.  Tweak DSLR camera ISO speed to take high resolution images of your snowy driveway.

5.   Post numerous FaceBook updates on how much snow is in the general area

6.  Use Google to look up ways to make Ramen Noodles more ”exciting”

7.  Set up a group chatroom for the rest of the office gang that are working from home so it would feel more like everyone is together in the office.

8.  Loaded the Lord of the Rings soundtrack on your kids MP3 players

9.  Pay bills online

and last but surely not least,

10. Two Words MASS EFFECT 2

The Old Man and the Bear

August 8th, 20094 views No comments

An 80-year-old man was having his annual check-up when the doctor asked him how he was feeling.

“I’ve never been better!”, he boasted. “I’ve got an eighteen year old bride who’s pregnant and having my child! What do you think about that?”

The doctor considered this for a moment then said: “Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day, he went out in a bit of a hurry, and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun.” The doctor continued: “So he was in the woods, and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?”, the doctor queried.

Dumbfounded, the old man replied: “No.”

The doctor continued: “The bear dropped dead in front of him!” “That’s impossible!” exclaimed the old man: “Someone else must have shot that bear.”

“That’s kind of what I’m getting at,” replied the doctor.
