Uhm, hmm... computer nerd here.

Spent most of my evenings during HS (~96-99) on a 286 PC with dialup through the local library using DOS and eventually MINIX chatting with folks in webchats, playing with packet sniffers on remote Linux and SunOS systems, using redirection CGI scripts to extract admin passwords for the webchats where I used to chat, learned the C programming language and general POSIX programming.

Used to download Dreamcast games from FTP sites, watch some anime with coworkers in college, worked in a computer lab (that's gotta count) where my workstation dual-booted Windows 2000 and Debian (Linux), used Linux as my primary O/S ever since I had an old junker 386 (and used MINIX mostly on that 286 I had beforehand), build all my own computers, wrote a mock stock brokerage (papertrading platform) entirely out of GNU Bash shell-scripting just over a year ago, own a DNS domain and run my email/website off it--which is hosted on an Ubuntu Linux VPS. And last but not least, I've worked as a UNIX & Storage sysadmin for the past 6.5 years :D

Hee! Hendo predicted that INTPs would outnumber every other type in this thread. YOU GO INTPs! Way to be the mad scientist archetype!

I stopped watching anime for a while (my brother finished up every major series I was following and told me the endings:rolli: He's an ISTP) but now I am back in the game. Recommend some super awesome trippy as fuck anime for me to watch! I'm taking some time off while I regain my health so I can watch anime all day if I feel like!

Haha, funny enough, I don't think INTPs are outnumbering anyone in this thread. I see a lot of NFP's in here :D
