Geeks

I have in the past been accused of being a technophile, which is basically a big word that means geek. (For more information on geeks check out the Geek Code at http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html). In a long tradition of vehemently denying accusations, this one was to dismissed with a "pish-posh". Its not my fault these people wouldn't know their back end from their user interface. Bet they can't play netball either.

However on the weekend I managed to break my DVD burner, my USB stick and my Ipod. In doing so I realised that I am totally dependant on these pieces of technology. In fact I have had a sick feeling in my stomach ever since. I haven't been able to steal movies, music or work files ever since. It has been terrible. Luckily today one of the true geeks from work (ie. one of the guys who works in IT) fixed my Ipod. I feel so much better - its like a piece of me has been restored along with my harddrive!
