Uber-geekiness

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: February 12, 2009

I stumbled upon this page of essential digital skills while researching drive partitioning strategies for my new 500GB hard drive in the context of server virtualization under Linux.

I don’t know whether the scoring is for skills you can do or have done, but either way, it says I’m a "Radified Warrior".  I think "Über Geek" sounds cooler.  Oh well…

The only skills I haven’t personally exercised are:

  • Configure a RAID-0 stripe in Win2K
  • Install and test a beta OS
  • Set up dual-CPU system
  • Configure IDE RAID
  • Adjust CPU voltage
  • Overclock CPU
  • Host a LAN party

I’ve attended one LAN party.  (Yes..I brought my own computer.  I think it was a 486.)  I’ve considered tweaking the CPU settings on my old Athlon boards, simply "because it was there", but never bothered.  If you catch me testing a beta OS, shoot me – something has gone horribly wrong in my life!  The other items, just haven’t had the need to.  Though, I’ve been curious about RAID-0 lately.

If you’ll excuse me…my soprano sax needs attention before I lose my essential jazz skills!
