I am very techy, thats a technical term meaning L33T.

I even have my own forum: http://www.eyrapl.net/forum/ I know how dakkadakka works

Talking on a more serious note. I have been a programmer for 6 or so years now, 2 years professionally, and I'm about to release my first computer software in the form of a new programming language of my own invention.

I can break computers pretty easily. Whether that is considered being good or bad with technology is probably debatable.

I love everything technology. I work as a web developer and designer by profession. So, I am naturally good at anything that involves computers or I am able to learn it quickly.

I've built a fair few computers, pretty good at troubleshooting and setting up software systems. Ive networked my house several times due to hardware replacements. Im also a sucker for Audio/Visual, and so am alright at setting up audio systems and screen configurations. I do my research and thats how I get the know-how.

Im also highly effective in the role of trash talking mac's

I'll just say that I'm a natural at technology, and figure new things about it every day. I learn how to repair things rather quickly. I'm the type of person who says "Instructions? BAH!"

I put that "I am highly knowledgable in all things techy"

Never cared for the programming stuff, but I have hand built every desktop I have owned since my 486 sx 25 system I bought back ages ago so I could play XCom. Even on that machine, I swapped out the processor and upgraded stuff internally. Prior to that, I was doing similar stuff to my Amiga systems until the software market left them behind for the most part.

My current system blew out the power supply and I had it back up and purring within the day.

I'm fairly good at the software usage side of a computer being a trainee accountant, and I also get along with other forms of tech too such as mobiles and gaming consoles.

I would rather like to build my own computer one day though.......

You built your own railgun!?
