JensJohansson is a geek

Post by En extremt tråkig pe » Sun Jul 10, 2005 1:21 am

I would never have thought this, but he is. He waxes lyrically about things like databases, applying phpbb patches, vmware sandboxes, x86 assembly, SQL queries, buffer overruns, logs, peer clouds, setting up robot machines, perl and last but certainly not least OpenBSD!!

That shit isn't metal!?! Do you think Lars sits up all night editing httpd.conf on the Metallica website?! Hell no, he's far to busy with his art collection and banging on his trash can for that!

Now that we've established this fact, I have only one question for JensJohansson: emacs or vi?

Before you answer, be aware that my Slashdot id is almost certainly lower than yours.

Do you think he seems like a boring guy? You're right, he only posts here about boring geeky stuff. He seems to be a total geek yes.

But he's also definitely metal. :lol: Just watch that Infinite Visions DVD!! :lol:

:lol:
I bet the person who posted this is Jens himself pulling off a joke! :lol:

But, in case not: Guy, watch what you say about Jens! He is very cool, and one of the most easygoing guys ever. And, computer stuff is VERY cool, imho! So, watch the cutting remarks! And, yes, he is kinda cute. ;)

Well, there certainly aren't a lot of people gifted with the beautiful vernacular that is distinctly Jensish.

Some of you seem to think geek is a derogatory term when in fact it is the highest compliment that can be bestowed upon a man!

Yep--Steve Jobs&Bill Gates are real hot guys! :lol:

Hey, I heard IQ is in proportion to......Oh, never mind. :roll: Its like that myth of shoe size. :roll:

In a passionate moment what do you rather hear?"Oh, you are the sweetest geek in the whole world?"
Or, "You are the best in the west, baby'? :red:

But, yes, in a sense "GEEK" is a compliment because it means the person is high intellect. Its better than being called a "RETARD/DORK" thats for sure! :D

It's worse. Much worse. Much much worse. I use some ancient and obsolete thing called MicroEMACS. It is never available anywhere so I constantly have to make new binaries.. http://jens.org/stuff/microemacs/

Although it's gained some sort of "freak show" popularity the last 8 years because it's also happens to be Linus Torvald's favorite editor. :)

I never properly learned to use vi. I know how to exit vi by typing :q and then pkg_add uemacs-4.0.tgz or whatever else is necessary :lol:

meaning he is like a peculiar super nerd in the computers and stuff like that, wierd, unusual and quite unique, but, the difference between an insult a joke and a praise is the intention behind it, thus the thread creator said jens is a geek in a good way.

p.s. i also think he is a geek, but i also think we need more geeks like him in the world
