When I was at university (in the Computer Science department) I was shunned for not being a 'true geek', presumably because I wasn't particularly interested in going to Linux installation parties and staying in the labs talking about gaben until 2am. They all thought I was a dumb jock because I'd often turn up to lectures wearing a tracksuit (as I'd just been at the gym/cricket practice) and went to forbidden places like ~the pub~ to watch ~football~. It was a shame, really, as I knew the subject just as well as they did.

These days I suppose the only geeky thing I do is my job.
