The Geek's "100 things to do before you die" list

(1/6) > >>

From our friends over at the Daily Cup of Tech blog - a first pass at a 'bucket list' for us folks!



Link: http://www.dailycupoftech.com/2009/05/04/the-geek-must-do-before-you-die-checklist/

Some of my favorites from the list:


* Do Cool Things to Altoids Tins
* Survive in a Linux Argument
* Run Operating System inside a Virtual Computer
* Put Open Source Firmware on a Router
* Move Completely To Open Source
* Setup a Computer in the Cloud
and especially: Unleash a Laser Pointer’s full potential

I'd add: Do at least one PXE diskless OS installation for Windows, BSD, and Linux  8) (Muy Macho!)

33 done :)

I wonder does analog camera usage count as "98.   Use a Camera in Manual Mode"?

In my entire life, I've made maybe 20 pictures using digital one in opposite to hundreds with analog.

Edited: grammar nazi strikes back!

Yes it does. I still swear by my trusty Canon F1! :Thmbsup:

"f22 and be there."

Edvard:
Must...
Resist...
...
AAAAUUUGGGHHH!

Okay, where were we?

2- Done. Leaflinux, you're a peach!
3- Does a shared file on the main folder count?
4- More times than I can shake a stick at.
9- Does a floppy count?
10- The only thing standing between me and 1337 is this one. I WILL compile my own kernel one day... (evil laughter, lightning bolts, etc.)
12- Done it. For money.
14- 3 down, 2 to go.
20- Every other day.
21- Many, many sad attempts that will one day bear misshapen fruit, I assure you.
22- In my sleep. With a pencil and graph paper.
24- Done.
25- Wait... What??
26- Phfft... Next...
29- It's been years, but I'm sure I could do it again.
32- Just out of curiosity.
34- One of these days, I'll have WiFi, and I'll use this.
38- They come up with new ones every freekin' day, how we supposed to memorize them all?
39- That guy and that girl. On that show. With the ufo's.
43- I've got one better... How about CONVERT x264 INTO SOMETHING SANE!!
47- Took a year and a half with Windows 95, but once I was there, buddy I was THERE!
48- Squirt gun. Salt water. Motherboard. You do the math...
53- And taught my son at the same time.
65- Ah yes, but did you power it with 1 battery cell?
69- ROFL. |\|3X7...
71- That's how me and my son play checkers anymore...
78- Done. Qemu, you're a peach!
89- Survived? Debatable. Land some delicious suckerpunches on an overzealous fanboi? You betcha!
94- ROFL'd the first time. "Oh, Toto!..."

So I'm somewhere around 25% done, 50-60% do-able and the rest require investing in stuff I have no need for (Un-brick an iPhone? How 'bout you pick it out of the concrete I'm going to "accidentally" drop it in...).
