Software Nerds?

Any computer nerds out there? I'm not talking online gaming, or excessive web surfing. More like, software developers, programmers, server admins, DBAs, Access or Excel guru’s. Either for work or as a hobby.

Geek it out and represent.

Also is there a cult for this kind of nerd talk?

PS. I search bar'ed: Software, Development, Programmer, Java, and C++ and came up with nothing.

I love this place. It can tell you whatever you want to know about a site. Like ever wanted to know Matt Harveys phone number? They have it. And now so do I. This site expires on March 8, 2008, It was created on March 24, 2000.

Just joking. I have to upgrade two db's this weekend from 10.1 to 10.2_02. Sounds easy, but it is on a production system running as a cluster.

Do you know advance queuing or streams by chance?
