I really dislike online quizzes, but hey, some of them are good. Just following the example of “librarygal”:http://www.livejournal.com/users/librarygal/149223.html and “fearless4jesus”:http://www.livejournal.com/users/fearless4jesus/18768.html. So here’s this one:
| You are 41% geek | You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Take the Polygeek Quiz at Thudfactor.com
I do have a question. Does it make me even more of a geek if I’m insulted that it didn’t give me a high enough score? Heck, I even went back and answered two questions differently and it only pushed me up to 43%…
*laughs* Yeah, I think that score is way too low for you too, considering that when I was taking that quiz, it seemed like every other answer made me think of you. Ohyeahbuddy said that he took the quiz and scored like 37%, and he was upset because he thinks I’m more of a geek than he is, so I don’t think the test is very accurate…

Did you know that when you put *s around words in your comments they become bold? Nifty!

Yes I did know that…it’s called Textile and it lets you format text using easier-to-type (and read) symbols than standard HTML. I write most of my posts in it, as you can create links by just enclosing a phrase in double-quotes and putting the URL after, with a colon in between and no spaces. Or do bold/italics (asterisk and underscore, as you mentioned), create bulletted or numbered lists, citations…a lot more things than I use it for, actually, altough my Stupid Chain Letters post used quite a bit more than I have used in the past in one post.
Oh yeah it also lets you define ADs easily and then turns it into the acronym HTML tag that can be hovered over in most recent browsers. You can play with it over at the official site above, I’m not sure how much of it (maybe all?) works on these comments, I use it primarily when composing new quotes.
Maybe I’ll have to retake that test a few times and see if I can figure out what they call a geek (personally, I think someone who implements auto-preview for the comments on their blog is a geek… ;-) Maybe later…
(update: Apparently a lot of it doesn’t work in these comments, I had go add the tags manually in several areas :-)
