You know you're a software geek if you...

... need more non-letter characters on your keyboard.
... check your commit log to remind yourself how you spent your Sunday.
... understand what "It's all about the Pentiums" is about.
... know more programming languages than names of sports.
... find yourself jotting down programs on the subway.
... think everyone should be using hexadecimal.
... wish you had some free time so you could read more technical manuals.
... frequently use words like 'paradigm', 'implementation', 'iteration', 'overflow' and 'module'.
... think rainbow tables are SCARY.
... spend a large portion of your day optimizing the rest.
... when you hear "freedom from state", you think "Haskell"
... often repair things by rebuilding them from scratch.
... spend in a text editor or terminal the time other people spend watching TV.
... consider recursion a simple and elegant method for solving problems :-)

VerseLight

Allow me to present my most recent donationware app: VerseLight, a simple assistant for those who often look up Bible references. It sits quietly in your system tray and monitors your clipboard for verse references; whenever you copy one (say, Proverbs 13:20), it fetches the text from the Internet and presents it to you to read or copy. Currently, it only supports the New International Version, although that may change.
