You're a geek and you know it. You've got all sorts of fringe hobbies and socially unacceptable tendencies. Chances are, whenever possible, you hate to be grouped with other people and sometimes go out of your way just to be different. You're smart too. You're more willing to depend on your own brainpower to solve problems, instead of relying on others to pull you through life. You probably read a lot, and generally enjoy learning new things. So what's it all mean? You may be considered by some to be uncool, but you probably don't care either. In social situations you may be either slightly passive or slightly loud (geeks always fall into the extremes). In a nutshell, you answered enough questions correctly supporting a geek philosophy to be considered a more potent geek than 60% of the population. |

How much is your blog worth?
Not even 8Gs? Shucks, there goes my get-rick-quick scheme. 
You scored 57 Wisdom, 73 Tactics, 49 Guts, and 27 Ruthlessness!
Like General McClellan, you're smart enough to know what tactical decisions to make. However, the problem with McClellan is that he could never sprout the balls to act on his information, and in the end, that's why Geoge McClellan is only a sidenote in the history books.
After graduating from West Point, he served with distinction in the Mexican War and later worked on various engineering projects, notably on the survey (1853-54) for a Northern Pacific RR route across the Cascade Range. Resigning from the army in 1857, he was a railroad official until the outbreak of the Civil War. In May, 1861, McClellan was made commander of the Dept. of the Ohio and a major general in the regular army. He cleared the western part of Virginia of Confederates (June-July, 1861) and consequently, after the Union defeat in the first battle of Bull Run, was given command of the troops in and around Washington. In November he became general in chief. The administration, reflecting public opinion, pressed for an early offensive, but McClellan insisted on adequate training and equipment for his army. In Mar., 1862, he was relieved of his supreme command, but he retained command of the Army of the Potomac, with which in Apr., 1862, he initiated the Peninsular campaign . The collapse of this campaign after the Seven Days battles was charged by many to his overcaution. In Aug., 1862, most of McClellan's troops were reassigned to the Army of Virginia under John Pope . After Pope's defeat at the second battle of Bull Run, McClellan again reorganized the Union forces, and in the Antietam campaign he checked Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North. He was slow, however, to follow Lee across the Potomac and in Nov., 1862, was removed from his command.

As an extra bonus, it only cost at $19.95 when it was released (vs. the $50-60 of most new games). I'm most excited to see this new demo coming out, though it does mean I need to delete some other stuff from my drives so I can install it. Hmm, maybe after I do that I can also try out Google Earth....

Feeling Better & Mumbling Randomly
*blech* I hate being sick. Sure, it's paid time off from work (121.5 hours of sick time remaining) but I'd rather be feeling good and taking vacation time. I am mostly over the bug I'd caught, but still feeling a bit congested. That being the case, I'm skipping coffee today in favor of hot tea1. This being Wednesday, my preference for tea caused a bit of confusion.
Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Buttercup is marry' Humperdinck in a little less than half an hour. And every Wednesday, myself and a few co-workers head over to the Terrapin to get a cup of real coffee2. Almost without fail, I order a "Grand Canyon" which is 2 shots of espresso, steamed milk, a shot of dark chocolate syrup and a shot of mango syrup. *yum* When I got there today, I picked up their tea menu and Rob (one of the owners) ordered me to put it down. I explained about the congestion and he accepted it, but I wouldn't say he was happy about it. Then I ordered their Chinese Breakfast tea, as the description sounded similar to the yunnan jig tea I've mentioned before. Hot caffeinated beverages acquired, we headed back to the office and I headed back to the mountain of email that had arrived while I'd been out. After clearing out that mess (most of it went straight to the trash), I started/continued testing a problem I'd been working on Friday. I'm still processing the data for that test now, but I'm also starting to wonder if I should have stayed home again.
Today, like Sunday, I woke up feeling better than the day before. The problem is like Sunday, I didn't stay home. Sunday, Ariesna & I were invited to go to Niabi Zoo over in Illinois with some of her family. It was a fun day and I took quite a few pictures3 but by the end of the day, I was totally wiped out and realized I should have stayed home. Now I'm not wiped out (so far) but I do feel more tired than I should from just sitting at a desk, staring at a computer screen. Ah well, not much I can do about that now.
BTW, last night I upgraded Cath's site to the current version of WordPress. I was kind of annoyed at how long it took but then most of that time was taken up my crappy ftp client having problems deleting the files for the old version from the webserver. Mind you I was booted into Windows at the time4 which undoubtably was part of the problem. But I did eventually get it done and wouldn't you know it looks nearly identical to what it did before. I'd call that a good sign for a seamless upgrade, but I'm waiting to hear back from her before I call it a success. So why the upgrade? In part to patch some old security holes and in part because all the new/interesting stuff for WP is happening on the newer versions. This way if she feels like going out and picking a different theme5; it should be trivial to install it.
Anyway, one of the reasons I was annoyed with the amount of time it took was last night also happened to be the season premier for NCIS. I've been a fan of this show for a while now, but season 2's finale was murder. Quite literally, as they killed off one of the NCIS agents. I was very much looking forward to seeing where they'd take the show next, but with upgrading the site and some other things I didn't get to watch the show as thoroughly as I would have liked. From what I did see, I'm not sure how enjoyable season 3 will be. I don't care for the new characters they introduced into the NCIS office (Director Jenny Shepard and Agent Ziva David). The romatic background between Gibbs & Shepard could be an interesting subplot but they seem to be pushing it too hard in an episode which should be dealing more directly with the remaining NCIS agents working to find Kate's killer. And then to make the episode a 2-parter leaving us on another cliff-hanger is distinctly annoying. *sigh* I guess we'll have to wait and see if they can pull this up with next week's episode.
1 Next to chicken noodle soup, hot tea works best for clearing up congestion and helping me feel better.
2 The first part of this paragraph is a quote from The Princess Bride. And when I say coffee, I mean flavored espresso.
3 I'll see about posting some of them later. Incidentally, there was a classic car show being held on the zoo's premises so don't be surprised if you see more car than animals photos.
4 I had some work to do that required M$ Word, as OpenOffice Writer couldn't properly edit the fancy formating in the document (originally created in M$ Word).
5 By perhaps looking through the themes in Alex King's Theme Browser....
