Today, Terah:
- Wrote about multimeters
- Linked to a website selling "the only combination impact and torque tool designed to meet your wire termination requirements"
- Linked to a site named vanguardpipe.com
- Mentioned that her favorite version-control system is CVS
And all of that in
a single blog post (which is also very amusing). Oh, and on Tuesday, she
wrote about debconf.
I think this is the surest evidence yet that both Terah and I are geeks. She claims that only one of us is. What does everyone else think?
I should also add that she has strong operating system preferences (OS X or Linux), likes OpenOffice, uses Firefox and IMP, used Pine as her first email system when she was a student at Purdue, remembers using telnet, uses ssh to this day, and is more bothered than I am when the Internet link goes down.
That's right, more bothered than a Debian hacker.
She's talking about forming a "wives of geeks" BoF at debconf. I think just a simple "geeks" BoF would be fine.
