OK, you’re a lawyer not a geek. Geeklawyer understands that. A comedy program about geeks is, he will concede, an unpromising premise (phew! that only just worked) but he urges you do yourself a favour and watch “The IT Crowd” as raved about on boingboing.net and /.. It’s supremely funny and could only be improved if Geeklawyer contributed to the script.
Watch it on TV. Or if you are doomed to the miserable misery of not being English console yourself by grabbing it via bittorrent (um, as an IP lawyer, Geeklawyer feels professionally obliged to point out that you should only only use this link to locate and acquire copies of the protected work if you have the permission of the relevant copyright holders, of course. Geeklawyer is not facilitating advising inciting encouraging or condoning any non permitted acts. We clear on that? Cool.). Watch it on the office PC instead of working. Bill it to the client as research. Geeklawyer has.
But then his punters are his bitches. Thank heavens none of them know this alter-ego or he’d be comprehensively fucked. Geeklawyer is, of course, recklessly goading the Gods of Karma and alliteration. And he’s drunk.
Don’t tempt fate my friend. Unless you have a large pile of cash stashed away. Or fancy an alternative career as a motorcycle courier.
If you’re really that bored consider taking up a high risk sport.
So Geeklawyer, who are you most alike? Moss…or Roy?
I believe I have Mosses raw sexual energy and dress sense, Roy’s personality, the spirited love of life of the Goth character and Jen’s professional competance. (Though oddly I think Jen has a bit of Ruthie in her).
Just as well I’ve never met you then. (ooooooooh yes dear readers, Ruthie and Geeklawyer have never met. Or spoken. Our relationship exists purely in cyberspace, and probably the murkier corners of Geeklawyers mind.)
I am a bit like Jen in that I get to boss Geeks about, and don’t actually know a lot about computers. But way cleverer.
