Geek Memories: My Son Ordered What?

Young geekdom is heavily enabled by a parent who can and will order parts. SolarWinds Head Geek™, Patrick Hubbard talks about odd circuits and even odder reactions to their names.

At SolarWinds® you hear us use the word “geek” with pride. It’s not in the sense of hipster geek, the new cool geek, but dyed-in-the-wool, born not made, proud geek. The thwack™ user community is filled with admins of similar ilk, technologists who achieve the impossible not because they are heroes, but because mountains must be climbed. We proudly salute these men and women not only with our Head Geeks™ but welcoming all as honorary members of thwack and our geek family. Geek Memories™ is a series of quick stories about geek formative years, common experiences and hard won lessons learned along the road to geekdom.
