prosicated's making me post this.

*ahem*

I AM A GEEK!
Because:
I constantly get my social security number confused with the default IP addresses of routers.

but they're so close, it's an honest mistake!

I am terribly sorry if I was needlessly cruel in your more public posting. Please convey my apologies to prosicated as well, as she's the one who made you post.

lol
I liked it, too bad you deleted it. ;o)
I ignore dots and dashes, they're just formatting marks.
my SS starts with 198 60
default ips are 192 68
swap a few numbers around and it's easy to get confused.
at least I think so.

I didn't think I'd deleted it... hrm... Aha, it's still on the "geeks" community, just not on your personal LJ.

I can see how those numbers would be confusing. I guess I've been working with IP addresses too long to get them confused with anything. I don't see digits any more, I see decimal representations of 8-bit numbers.

herm? I seem to have missed something. For what are you apologizing??

[inahandbasket]

192.168.
sheesh.
my brain ain't good with numbers early in the morning.

and you hadn't deleted it either, the link was just broken in the lj notification e-mail.

Sheesh, I'm on a roll today.
fuckit, back to work.
