Ooooh, which to collect...? Xeno Geek Points or Richard Whiteley A-Likey Points? Decisions, decisions...

Well, if it had been some mind-bending techieness, maybe compressing RFC 2617 into three lines I would have given him some Admin Geek Points. As it is he solved a countdown-style anagram so, in recognition of this, I award 5 Richard Whiteley A-Likey Points. The first person to reach 100 Richard Whiteley A-Likey points gets a copy of "Diagnosis and Treatment of Septicaemia" by Lawrence P. Garrod as a prize

So does RH start collecting Admin Geek Points now?

Seeing as so many of you have guessed correctly I am happy to confirm it was DBA Bloke. Superb spot with the anagram RH, very impressed. It was a pretty unique couple of IP addresses so pretty convinced it was the same person. The other banned ID from this person was Permie Scum.

So I have acted as requested and banned this ID. Two previously banned users came from the same IP as him so have completely banned these from the server now as well.

I knew it, the abuse was vaguely familiar. Which banned posters was it?

BTW - resend the request for the facebook group.

Done!

Oh, and the Linux comes back when the VPN's network can cope with it...

(starts looking for DSL on Linux Format...)

I've got linux on my netbook, do I qualify for geek points?

No, but your signature should get you some. Geek points, that is.

[DiscoStu]

3 broadband with a 10" screen and Windows XP. Nice bit of kit. Worth at least 5 Geek Points. When are you going to strip it out for Linux then?

BTW - resend the request for the facebook group.

I might be able to get back to 0 points if he remembers my Asus EeePC with mobile broadband....

I suspect I'll be going into minus geek points for

1) not having an iphone or latest blackberry...
2) managing to buy a rubbish camera* despite all the good advice on here.

*Still desperately hoping it was driver error - will continue to practice this week...

Pretty geeky. However, I was reminded only moments ago of an ice cream / Xeno head smearing incident, of which rh was the perpetrator.

Tscah - what I failed to explain at the time, is that I was investigating the viscosity of vanilla ice-cream, and it's covering power. Low and high, respectively.

[Xenophon]

Not likely - even though I was verbally awarded geek points for trying to hack into the pub's wifi connection on the night, and for something or other I said at the dinner, Xen won't let me go over 100. <sniff>

I like 99 as the 'soft' cap.

It'll be a big day when that cap is raised and you bust into three figures.

[Xenophon]

Oh yeah! Geek points required here, shirley?!
