I glanced at my Technorati page today. I always wondered if I could make the top 10,000. Well, this is as close as you can cut it.
Yes, I know. This is only interesting because we use base ten. Actually, I’d have been even more excited if I was ranked# 16,384.
Sorry for dorking out on you, there. I’m extra short on sleep today and I’m feeling sort of giddy right now.
Raytracing
Raytracing is coming. Slowly. Eventually. What is it and what will it mean for game development?
Dear Hollywood: Do a Mash Reboot
Since we're rebooting everything, MASH will probably come up eventually. Here are some casting suggestions.
The Plot-Driven Door
You know how videogames sometimes do that thing where it's preposterously hard to go through a simple door? This one is really bad.
Internet News is All Wrong
Why is internet news so bad, why do people prefer celebrity fluff, and how could it be made better?
Overthinking Zombies
Let's ruin everyone's fun by listing all the ways in which zombies can't work, couldn't happen, and don't make sense.
Hey, that’s great! Well done.
Geek. :)
Congratulations though, pretty cool.
Quick, somebody give Shamus a wedgie!
Why 16,384? Why not go for the Gold and be #32,768? It’s rounder that way. Or else you could be 255 for (at least) 2 way nerdery.
Will you be excited if you get to 8192?
Another great way to rank your nerdiness is to take the Geek Test… http://www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html. I enjoy revisiting this on occasion to see how my geekage fluctuates as I age.
I take that test about once every six months!
Geek Test Result: 37.47535% – Major Geek
Maybe I didn’t use the right button or something. I checked for my site and I had more links than you, but didn’t have any rank. (Embarassingly, the majority of my “links” were places like this where I’ve left comments, which include links back to my blog.)
Steven: It never gives me “credit” when you link me, either. I can only guess, but I’m assuming it’s confused by your hand-crafted pages with no permalinks or RSS feed. It knows you’re a site, but it can’t tell where one post ends and another begins.
Technorati is a pretty big piece of crap when it comes to parsing sites. I don’t know what they do, but it doesn’t seem to work so well.
Congrats Shamus! With my experience on Technorati, you’ve probably got twice the links than they’re showing, so you’re doing pretty well for yourself:)
Congrats ^_^ !
And about the Geek Test Result: 45(and a bit)%. Just made if for Super Geek :).
30%: Total Geek
Can I still post here?
“Can I still post here?”
As long as you don’t start beating up on the rest of us and taking our lunch money…
Hahahahaha!
I never thought I’d have the chance to be on that side of it!
Actually, I went to an arts school (http://scpa.cps-k12.org/index.html) grades 4-12, so I was pretty cool or pretty geeky almost simultaneously.
I think your DM of the Rings comics alone will get you well above that, but I’ve been enjoying most of your other posts as well.

Shamus, could you ban 120host.net and delete all of its trackbacks, please? Thanks.
Woot! I scored 41+%! (Or is the 41% +?) I’m a bigger geek than Shamus!!! Wait…that doesn’t compute. Based on that I should cease to exis*
45.36489% – Super Geek Not sure I should be proud of this…
its OVER NINE THOUSAND!
im surprised no one said that. its like… an obligation
34.91124%-not fair, I’m too young for a bunch of these, and too preoccupied with some of these things for some of the other things. Do I get bonus points for being disappointed with this? Does being too honourable to think of women in demeaning ways count? How about loving one girl too much to wish for a date even though I’m single and lonely because I feel like I’m betraying her even though she seems to hate me? damned inaccurate, computer-nerd favouritisming test. Now I’m grumpy.
