I own pretty much every Pokémon game ever released and play them fairly regularly.

I also remembered to spell it Pokémon.

I built my own web server using an old Pentium 4 desktop which resides in my lounge. It runs on Linux and has Apache, PHP, MySQL, Ruby on Rails and most other crap apart from a control panel, so I had to learn everything through terminal.

I also (this is similar to what Samdy does) love building Automator Apps on my Mac and I use them to batch process folders of photos, as well as other Apps for watermarking, rotating, flipping and then others for uploading to specific folders on servers.

I also constantly buy Apps to enable quicker workflows on my Mac, for instance I can find a file, attach it to an email and send the email, from any point in my computer with about 5 keystrokes.

I like gadgets - amongst which I have a Garmin running watch and a Garmin bike computer.

The watch links to my heart rate monitor and after a run I religously upload to the garmin connect website and mapmyrun.com - here I also log my mileage to my trainers so I know how far I have done and when they need replacing.

The bike computer is similar to the watch but also links to my cadence sensor (pedalling speed) and HRM. Also uploaded to garmin & MMR. I've almost clocked up 2000 miles on my road bike and hence have given the drive train an overhaul.

The garmin rubber bands for the bike mount also doubles as a surprisingly good cock ring.

Right - I've decided I'm an amateur geek.  I like reading, especially about history.  I actually quite enjoy mathematics, as I love the way it is so obligingly logical.  I really, really like quizzes - especially when the subject is sport, music or history.  I own every Manic Street Preachers album, single, best of, EP etc.  However, the geekness displayed on here is too modern for me, and well out of my geek league.  I don't even understand what Barry and Samdy are talking about.  I hope I'm not the only one...

I once drank beer, met girls, travelled and socialised with a real person.

I started a football related database in about 2006 and it's comprehensively pointless. It's an Excel spreadsheet with six tabs documenting every...

* Every player I've seen play (From Tier 1 to Tier 5)

- In order of seeing them
- Clubs I've seen them play for
- Amount of times I've seen them play/score/booked/sent off/own goal
- Nationality
- International representation and tournament summary
- Domestic honours
- Career history
- Additional notes

* Every fixture (over three tabs so I can filter more accurately)

- Date
- Level (I count tier 1 - tier 5, Friendlies + Benefit matches etc...)
- Attendance
- Referee
- Line ups (Inc. subs not used)
- Additional notes

* Every manager

- Similar tab to the players listing their managerial achievements or lack there of.

* Team overview

- Kind of like a league table based on how many times I've seen them play.

i once played a football manager game into season 2070 (i went on holiday a lot, but still) I'd still do mid season and end of season transferes every year, i think i spent more time on that than the actual games
