The Pinnacle Of Geekiness
November 3rd, 2005
Well, here it is. I have a blog now. I have wanted to write some blog software for a while now (just because everyone and their dog and their dog’s dog has written one doesn’t mean I shouldn’t too) but have never gotten around to it. I guess it makes sense to actually have a blog before writing some blogging software, but that’s not the reason I got one now. Not by a long shot.
You see, today I reached a brand-new pinnacle of geekiness! I am a computer programmer. Several of my friends are computer programmers. We are always looking for new ideas for things to make, sites to develop, etc. Returning from lunch today, I was discussing a site idea with one such friend and he joked that he was going to steal the idea and implement it himself. So then later, before discussing an even more promising idea I did something I had never even considered before: I made him sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. On a Post-It Note, no less.
Having finally dropped the last vestige of non-geekiness, I felt that it was about time to get a blog.
What were the ideas we were discussing that prompted me to take such drastic action? Send me your NDA and we can talk.
