You know you're geek when...

...your "The database connection was made successfully" message is "w00t!"

Heh...

I hate to be a wet blanket... In the projects where I've been the customer representative, I've enforced the requirement of all messages being normal-human-readable.
But I'm closer to 40 than 35 already. I'm slowly forgetting what little geekery I ever knew. I remember the thrills and cliqueism, though. Fondly.

Testing view only. :)

My instructor cRon's motto for our class was, "Don't kill the old lady!" -- the old lady being our imaginary client, who was very smart but with no experience with computers and fragile health. If we startled her with the program, we'd kill her.

Testing the connection to make sure it's working before actually trying to execute the SQL on it, y'know... this is Web Apps class, not the DBA class. Teacher suggested we give ourselves a message, like "Yay!" or "Good!" or "Connected!" if we connected, instead of a blank.

A ghastly charming image!
Some of our operators are ladies close to retirement, perhaps I need to start borrowing that analogy when talking to our suppliers...

cRon is quite a character. (That's why I write his name "cRon", for the pun value..)
