Yesterday vyeseleph and I were walking up 3av to get to our local video store, when this guy stopped me with: "Excuse me, are you computer literate?"
I said yes. I was not wearing my "Good With Computers" shirt.
He launched into this spiel about running an FTP server via his DSL and static versus dynamic IP addresses and did I have any idea why it might not be working?
He was entirely coherent but he spoke with such intensity it was more than a little freaky.
Anyway, I couldn't help him.
So, my question is this: do I emit a computer-savvy vibe? And is this a good or a bad thing?

Those links you sent me were so brilliant. I'm seriously tempted to make a sign with one of those biblical verses and show up at the next right-to-life protest with it, just not saying anything, and see if anyone picks up on the reference. It might be worth getting my ass kicked.
Early this year I bought a buncha movies from this guy selling movies out of a gym bag. Anyway~ One of the movies I bought was missing and all 5 Rocky movies were in it's place. I got desprate and watched all 5 Rocky flicks in one day. It was horrible.
Anytime anyone walks up to me and starts a conversation on the street I automatically think it's SKETCHY.
I'd forget the suit and baseball bat idea and just walk around wearing your hula outfit. That shit rules.
Did you have your glasses on when the man approached you?
Everyone looks a little more studious in a pair of rockin' glasses. I know that usually instead of telling my daughter how pretty she is. I usually try to tell her how smart she is followed by the pretty comment.
Skryche~ You do look very smart! You ARE smart. You're also pretty.
