Geek Card.
I am turning in my geek card. I have spent the last two night trying to get something to work that will never work. I’m trying to do an operating system upgrade on an older server that I take care of. I burned a nice new version of Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS. I’m thinking to myself oh yea this is going to be great. So I stick the disk into the cdrom and nothing and try to boot the server. The server acts like it doesn’t have a cdrom device to boot off of. So I fiddle around with the bios settings and this and that and waste about two hours on trying to get this thing to boot the cdrom. Turns out I had burned my operating system image to a dvd-r not a cd-r! OOOPS. Hey guess what an old CD drive doesn’t know how to boot up off of a dvd-r disk. humm go figure.
Time to get some rest I need it. What an idiot…. 
Gosh.

I’d let you have my geek card if I had one, but I couldn’t pass any of the test to get one. Furthemore, I have not idea where you go to take the tests.

Geek cards are easy. Just fire up Word or whatever you like to use to write documents and type this out “{Insert Name Here} is a Geek” then print it out and you have a geek card.
