I hadn't considered that before. Maybe I won't be such a jerk in future conversations.

Computer Guy generally translates to "this cat could fix my computer sometime." I'm a Network Administrator by day and I don't do any end user desktop support. Telling them I'm a Computer Guy automatically sets me up for "Hey, so I had this problem on my computer..."

I just tell them that I'm a Network Administrator and when the inevitable question comes up, I tell them that I manage the equipment that computers use to talk to each other. If it goes beyond that, I simply tell them it's kind of like telecomm and try to move the conversation to something they're interested in. I rarely tell them that I do software development on the side, that just furthers the confusion.

I remember an article a while back (I wish I could find the link) about a software developer that had the same problem. "You write programs? Oh, great, can you get rid of these viruses?"

The problem with a repository is not every machine I work on has git installed (nor could I install it in some cases).

I'm a netadmin doing a sysadmin's job, though. If I was slingin' code regularly, I'd use several plugins.

When I wear my developer hat, I dig nerdtree and vimoutliner.

None. I use vim on so many different machines, so it isn't feasible for me to move a bunch of plugins around. I'll very rarely use BufferList, if it's installed, I often forget it's there.

Here's my .vimrc: http://gist.github.com/517464

I like to use cursorcolumn and cursorline with low contrast colorschemes like obsidian or evening.

I've been using vim for 10-15 years.

I was pretty active in the suse project with bug testing and whatnot for a while, so that got me on freenode. I lurk about 15 channels there.

I'm on two private networks with about 5 channels between them and I lurk on Undernet out of nostalgia. I'll hit up Efnet if I'm looking for security related topics.
