So You HomeBrew-Are You A Nerd?

[HenryHill]

Just wanted to let HBTers label themselves, if they cared to.

I just like good beer. FWIW, I took the test honestly....

 

[talleymonster]

Well, I want to get my left arm tattooed with a full sleeve...completely Star Wars. Is that nerd enough for you?

 

[Dr_Deathweed]

eight years of higer education and counting.... not to mention the small library of RPG books in my office.... I'd say I was a nerd

That depends. If your tattoo consists of main characters then no, it's just liking a movie series a lot. If, however, you start adding in characters like Morrigan Corde or if you include both a Storm Trooper AND a Sand Trooper (and know the difference) then I'd say you're a nerd.

If it has Jar-Jar you're in trouble!

Long time nerd, still new to brewing. I'm finding they go hand in hand though

I wanted the battle of Endor to be the center of the piece. Episode 6 was my favorite when I was a kid, and I always liked the Ewoks battling the AT-ST with logs and ropes. Then all around it I wanted to have different characters, vehicles and movie scenes. I even wanted to add a couple characters from the expanded universe (everything that happened outside of the 6 movies, before and after).

And NO Jar-Jar binks anywhere.

I have a question for all of you self proclamed computer nerds. Have any of you ever heard of IEDefender and know how to remove it from Vista? I was given a link to a 411.spyware, but its directions dont jibe with Vista. Thanks for any help.

I'm assuming you gave this page of instructions a shot as well?

Sorry, I am a Microsoft SysAdmin, but I have yet to work on a Vista machine, and personally I bought a Mac over a year ago for my own computer . Not to be so smug, but I have only had one problem with my MacBook and that was a faulty drive, not software related.

 

[niquejim]

Overall, you scored as follows:



91% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
8% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.


Maybe that's why my beer sucks




Just kidding

Yes, I tried bleeping computer and after I went through the whole scan, it said that it doesnt have a fix for Vista yet.

Alrighty then. Have you tried restoring the machine to a date before it got infected?

 

[Mustangfreak]

Nah, but someone at work called me an alcoholic because I brew. How messed up is that.

 

[DeathBrewer]

he's probably a recovering alcohol, projecting on you

i am an alcoholic, but not because i brew

 

[trainfever]

Alrighty then. Have you tried restoring the machine to a date before it got infected?

No, thats the problem. This is a farly new laptop and I never got around to doing a backup.

 

[DUCCCC]

No, thats the problem. This is a farly new laptop and I never got around to doing a backup.

Don't you still have a go back to date setup?
Try this set of instructions

I tried system restore but the restoration wouldnt take.

 

[trainfever]

Ma2brew:
I found a site that said to restore Internet Explorer, which I did. That seemed to work so far, thanks for the help.

I took version 2.0 test NerdTests.com Fun Tests - The Nerd Test, Version 2.0

since that link doesn't work they were right about my computer skills

 

[conpewter]

zombie thread... I think brewing sort of draws nerds, there are definitely a disproportionate number of IT guys in brewing than the general population.

 

[blacklab]

Lotta engineers at my company brew as well.

I don't really think I'm a nerd, but someone, somewhere probably does.

 

[dexter_craig]

Like this?

 

[Jonnio]

My wife calls me a geek, but I think I am uber cool

At least that's how I voted, but deep down inside I know I am a geek

 

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

Nerd by birth...
Homebrewer by choice....

 

[neuron555]

Physician, former chemist, office backup IT guy, musician, but also former varsity and frat guy. Guess I'm just mixed up.

Yeah, that worked well.

 

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

That nerd test is awesome! Apparently I'm an Uber Cool High Nerd (although I haven't touched that stuff in almost a decade)! :fro:

There are three engineers (myself included) in my direct working group that are homebrewers. Plenty more that work in the same company. And quite a few of the homebrewers in our club work at the National Lab. There is definitely a link between the "nerds" and homebrewing!

 

[Borisbbadd]

The older I get , the nerdier I become..................

 

[Mutilated1]

Yeah, I'm pretty nerdy/geeky. Thats why I listen to death metal - to offset the geek factor.

 

[Rick500]

Heh...

12% scored higher (more nerdy),
1% scored the same, and
87% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:
High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!.



I thought brewing offset the geek factor, but it only contributes! :rockin:

 

[BigKahuna]

The people I work with...constantly call me a nerd...so I voted YES.

 

[Brooklyn-Brewtality]

I am super Geeky, but that's been my way since before I Homebrewed. My obsession with Lord of the Rings saw to that.

 

[solstice]

Unsurprisingly.

 

[ChefBrew]

I'm a cool nerd. I make beer!

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Test #2 results are in: Cool Nerd God

 

[fat x nub]

I brew because i can

 

[Clayton]

i would say i am an Alpha Nerd

 

[Bob]

I'm a Dorky Nerd God.





Sweet.

B-)
