Some of you seem to have been confused by my previous poll. I've been writing all my work in LaTeX for a while. I was semi-seriously accusing [livejournal.com profile] yrieithydd of being a geek after Mass the other day, citing her use of LaTeX as an example. She countered that using LaTeX wasn't geeky. Thus the poll...

Today's been a lovely and sunny day without being as hot as yesterday. I ambled down to the beer-festival, and sat and chatted to people for a few hours whilst drinking beer and sheltering under my hat. We then burned some dead animals, killed the odd alien, and it'll shortly be bed-time. A good sort of day, and tommorow likes being fun too, although my intercessions for tommorow morning are a bit uninspired.

And I'm winning! :=P

And the fact I had to try twice at this comment to make the html work is further proof my lack of geekiness!

You are. I hadn't realised that my fiends list had lapsed so far from orthodoxy :)

[though looking at the way people voted, it seems to be that people who are geeky think LaTeX isn't, and those who aren't think it is.]

I had noticed that trend myself. It is not entirely surprising, in fact Dominic (who's fault my using LaTeX is) predicted it (when I pointed him towards the poll over ICQ!)

Interestingly though, the pattern on my poll is the other way round. It is the geeks who've called me a geek and the non-geeks who haven't!
