What are you good at?

[~LoKe]

Most people can do at least one thing better than most, what can you do?

[haxer]

I can use the ubuntu forums :) ;)

[d3v1ant_0n3]

I'm pretty kick-*** with Google :p

I make a mean roast turkey too.

Effortlessly alienating others.

comes easy to me, also:D

It's a gift, man, what can I say?

it would seem that many of are blessed with this gift ;-)

[raul_]

I think i'm a pretty good football player (soccer for all the fellow americans) :-k wow...a linux user AND a good football player :mrgreen:

[kevinf311]

I guess I would have to go with music. I'm not really all that good at any one thing, but music has always been there. I like to build things, drive things, and build things I can drive.

I like how I could pick out Loke's desk in the youtube video from the "what does your desk look like" thread :)

[Bezmotivnik]

But not with the accompanying grace and style of the true master.

[ComplexNumber]

knowing my limitations.

[Skia_42]

Thinking outside the box and questioning.

[Stew2]

Fixing things. I love to take things apart, repair it and reassemble. Perhaps this is why I like computer hardware so much? :)

Regards,
Stew2

[fuscia]

knowing my limitations.

me too. if i ever come across one, i'll know it immediately.

[STREETURCHINE]

If i do say so myself but i am a damn fine cook.
(have trade certs for pastrychef,and chef)
yep hell of a cook....:D :D

[slimdog360]

some things I'll tell you about when your older.

[EdThaSlayer]

Watching anime from sunrise till sunset :D

[eXisor]

You must not have a meaningful other.

I'm good at:

- Suffering fools
- Elaborating at length
- Synthesis. We have the information, we just don't think
- Vengefully not posting
- Being myself
- Making lists

[mostwanted]

Knowing random facts and using them effectively in classes + Scripting and web programming although I haven't been doing any real programming for over a year.

I also play the lead guitar in a band, but I don't think I'm actually the best guitarist in the band (the bass player is really good at playing the guitar) >_> it's a bit strange.

[Lord Illidan]

Dunno. Probably nothing.

[insane_alien]

i'm pretty good at surviving electric shocks from the mains (124 and counting) thats UK mains supply with the 230V none of this 120V crap.

[beercz]

I am good at not being good at anything!

I like physics and unlike many other I can imagine more than 4 dimensions :D I can also tell you that volts aren't what matters, it's the amperes that kills you.

or, i just don't listen to her.

[Mr Wrath]

fuscia...your posts crack me up.

[Mr Wrath]

Whoops...forgot to type what I am good at...will have to get back to you all.

[christhemonkey]

Probably playing the Horn.
(got a scholorship at the Royal Academy of Music in London)

:D

[bobbybobington]

I'm pretty good at making videos, and messing around with computers (well compared to most people anyways). Oh and using parentheses in my writing WAY too much.

[neowolf]

Umm, I'm quite good at Table Tennis, I'm ok at Counter Strike and I'm good at fixing peoples computers. I'm quite good at analysing History and writting essays about Historical/Political events I am told by my History teacher :)

[dbbolton]

fuscia...your posts crack me up.
yeah, fuscia should have originally said "forum humour" :D


as for me, i will answer with a question: at what do i not excel?
i'm kidding. i'm one of those people who can do just about everything without trying (at a quite mediocre level) but who lacks a specialty. i really hate it.

[macogw]

Breaking things, figuring out how/why they broke, and fixing them afterward. I used to break computers all the time, that's why I know how to fix them now.

[dbbolton]

oh yeah, if any one ends up saying "biology", give me a pm. ;)

[ice60]

the thing i've had the most success at is BMX, i've got lots of trophies. that was between the ages of 8-13 loooool

if i tried any of that now my foot would probably slip off the pedal, i'd twist my ankle, lose control and go flying over the handlebars :mrgreen:

[kuja]

I'm not good at much of anything :|

[Xzallion]

Taking punches to the face, playing video games and Hackey sack. I'm not much good for anything else.

[bastiegast]

I like physics and unlike many other I can imagine more than 4 dimensions :D I can also tell you that volts aren't what matters, it's the amperes that kills you.

12 V and insanely high amperes doesn't kill you, your body's resistance stops it all. Also with high voltages you will get barely a few amperes through your body: I = U / R where R is quite big since your body has much resistance

This pretty much summarizes how I learned how linux works. Breaking stuff like the X server and then fixing it. When I was a noob playing around with RH 9 (FC 4 was out by then but I didnt knew that) I once tried to compile a new X server because I saw there was a newer version on their site xD

[Erik Trybom]

I'm a decent swimmer. Finished 4:th in the national championships this summer.
I write some music and poems. I've been told some of them are good.
I'm more than halfway into my studies of microelectronics. It's so damn difficult that I suspect you have to be smart to understand it.

But truth to be told, there are people who are far better than me in all these areas. So while I'm good at many things, I'm not the best at anything.

[insane_alien]

I like physics and unlike many other I can imagine more than 4 dimensions :D I can also tell you that volts aren't what matters, it's the amperes that kills you.

i also do physics and know that its not the volts but you'll also notice that with a higher voltage comes bigger currents for the same resistance. i've had a few hundered thousand volts through me thanks to a tesla coil just an incredibly tiny current though.

Drinking hic :cool:

[russian accent]I AM INVINCIBLE![/russian accent]

[kvonb]

Making do with what I've got on hand, working out ways around things, looking at things from an alternative perspective, fixing things, making things, building things, can do just about anything if I'm interested enough, arguing that black is really white and having a high success rate at it :rolleyes:.

Oh and also making people believe that I'm listening to what they're saying when I'm actually off in the clouds thinking about something else much more interesting :mrgreen:.

[ChadMMc]

Well, I am good at reading, analyzing problems (at least I think I can, but I have a low self-esteem). I also try to be good at communication.
I also used to be pretty good at computer programming (kind of ended with a serious head injury in '82). Good with animals.
Oh, I am very good at digressing. ](*,)

[cstudent]

I'm good at casting fishing lures into hard to reach places.

[M_the_C]

I am best at doing nothing.
The only trouble is there are other people can do nothing better than me. :(

write bad html and use html tidy to fix all the errors :-D

Try writing a full page that must be xhtml strict (with the little icon/link that says 0 errors) without being able to use anything other than Notepad. :mad:

Thanks a lot CS 1371 ](*,)

[Mr Wrath]

Sorry, forgot that to get back to my answer...Pool, Motocross, Stunting Sport Bikes, Paintball, and Computers (in general).

[neoflight]
