Re: Can't...stop...reading
I like Wikipedia too, it's very much a fountain of knowledge. Very easy to navigate too, probably too easy, as you just keep clicking from link to link, you have to remind youself to go back to the original link, which is what you were initially interested in.
I read all about London the other day, and it was interesting reading. I need to get out more too.

Yeah, that thrilling book on PHP

Bifta, the web developer, of all people thinks that I'm a geek. 
Jesus, so I take an interest in technology - so what?
If nobody did then you'd still be using 486 PCs with monochrome monitors.

Re: Can't...stop...reading
Well I didn't know Wikipedia existed until this thread - and now I'm in danger of becoming a recluse!
Cheers guys!

There's level's of geekiness, there's me, who is probably considered a geek by completely non-geeky people, then there's you, who's considered geeky by geeky people, making you an uber-geek by non-geeky people's standards.
(And I may well be a web developer but I take absolutely no interest in it, hense me constantly having to ask for help on here  )

Re: Can't...stop...reading
Talking about levels of geekiness makes you an uber geek - to the rest we either see you as 'geek' or 'normal'

Bifta, the person who has been known to advise people on Cooling Systems thinks you are a geek..
Actually, Richard, I suspect it's also something to do with the fact you think Browser stats are cool..
