Level of Geekdom

I actually meant to blog this awhile ago, but I have a question. Is there some level of geekdom that’s passed when your wife sends you an email, in which she has a small list of chores that require your attention and she ends with the instruction to make sure you add said list to your Wiki?

If there isn’t, I think there should be.

    Mitch, in comments to a previous post: I get the shakes and an evil twitch if I am away from the computer too long, how did you do it. -;0 In all honesty, as much as I like using technology and gadgets and playing around with PC’s, I’ve never been one to get that far…

    A couple of interesting things seen in newsletters today. First there’s today’s Spyware Info Weekly which talks about accusations of reverse engineering and fraud among different anti-spyware apps. Interesting stuff, I think we’d all do well to make sure we aren’t using a fake spyware killer. Then, from today’s LangaList comes a pointer to Fred’s…

    I’ve complained about it when it doesn’t happen, so I guess I’ve got to give credit where credit is due. We have a new employee starting on Dec. 2, and I already know her name and where she’s going to work and what levels of access she needs. Will wonders never cease? 🙂 Follow these…

    Blogger is currently running a survey of it’s users. There are questions about you, your blogging habits, how you started blogging and whether you’ve told others about it, rating things you’d like to be able to do easier and about using news aggregators. Pretty run of the mill stuff, only took me about 5 minutes….

  1. If your chore-wiki was online I could just add things myself. Wait, your chore-wiki is never going online now, is it?

  2. lol – underthethumbgeekdom?
    the funny thing is that I was thinking of something similar to that this morning so that Kristen and I would both know what needed doing, rather than both of us paying the same bill!

  3. At the beginning of this year I added a wiki to our family site to maintain a couple of ‘shopping’ lists(grocery, dept store, home improvement).

    It’s been working really well as opposed to our old pen & paper lists that always got lost or weren’t updated.

    Best part is, it’s a wiki, my wife needed a mere 10 seconds of training on how to add to/modify the lists.

  4. I can’t put it online, the Wiki has much more than my to-do list, it has private information about my workplace, my former workplace, a volunteer organization, etc. I don’t think you’d want me putting that online dear. Besides, it’s on my thumb drive so I can access it even when I don’t have internet access. 🙂

    Now if I could figure out a way to share my Outlook calendar with my wife, that would be nice.

  5. you used to be able to post your free/busy info to a website and as long as you/angela had the url configured in outlook you’d both be able to see the information.
    The real solution of course is for Outlook to be ical compliant and make it easy to export the data so you could import it into the mozilla calendar application.

  6. credit must be given to the Mrs. for knowing what a wiki is.

    If I said ‘i’ll add that to my wiki’ I would just get my face slapped.
