Long Distance Remote Control
The buddy I am currently staying with called me a nerd today because I was putting on a Firefox T-Shirt. Oh, little does he know, poor fellow.
I wonder what he had said if he knew that we just set up an OpenVPN server on our wireless router at home to be able to log in from a distance and program our dad’s satellite receiver? We call it the 6.500 kilometer remote control.

Yes, we are two geeks. And we’re proud of it! :-p

6500km? Wow, that’s almost 1.3 million rods!

Justin: For just one second, I looked up “rod” on urbandictionary to find out what that measure comes from… and of course I immediately regretted it
After that, wikipedia helped me out as usual.
By the way: 6.500 km is also over 14 million cubits. I just thought you ought to know that.

At least then my girlfriend’s claim of me wearing geeky shirts would have some tangible evidence
